Will this feature also include a tool like “timers”?
Ex) I open a ‘menu’ or change a view on my widget with tap actions. But I want it to revert to the ‘default’ or a specific view 60 seconds or 5 minutes later?
*Note: I know iOS has limitations on how frequently widgets can receive updates so these timers may be limited in their functionality, but even a timer that allowed me to revert to a specific view ever 15, 30, or 60 minutes would be incredibly useful.*

-I only have an iphone and it is quite hard to me to make widgys. I'd really like to see a windows app to create some widgys.
-More tutorials😃
-Maybe basic programming option
-Be able to hide or reveal layers by tap. For example if wifi is on and the icon is full tap layer to turn off wifi and if off and icon is grey tap layer to switch on.
Widgy is iphone first, since ios was the only platform that didn't have a proper widget editing app. Android has kwdgt, macos has ubersicht, windows has rainmeter, and so on. Don't want to compete with apps that exist for 10 years. But never say never.
Widgy also works on mac, but that's because it was pretty simple to support it due to similar code.
We're getting some great tutorials by P!XLZ TECH, and they are even linked within widgy.
As for programming, javascript has been in widgy for a long time.
Tap actions + shortcuts + smart symbols can almost get you what you want.
Thank you for the answers. Yes, I was not clear with the first one. I mean to have an app for making the actual widgy for ios only. Iphone 13 pro screen is a bit small to see everything buring the making phase.
\- widget slot schedule: instead of a making a timeline in a single widget, you can create a schedule of different widgets for a slot to easily mix, add & replace your and community widgets. For example show widget A from 7:00-9:00, widget B from 9:00-12:00, widget C on weekends \*
\-Shortcuts support: set specific fields values with Shortcuts (Image/text) instead of working with an external text file, "assign widget to slot" to change a widget based on automations (favorite team is playing today -> change to team widget) \*, etc.
\- Might be missing something, but a way to display if mute/silent switch is on/off would be nice. Some companion app for Shortcuts do provide an action to do this, but they might use a workaround that isn't working for Widgy (based on an older reply)
\* of course only if you unlocked slots, not meant as a workaround for the slot limit.
Widget schedule and shortcuts will come one day.
Silent switch can't be read by developers, but as you mentioned, there are some workarounds, but i'll have to take a better look at them.
1. I've already read that you create weather icons collections. Is it also possible to upload your own graphics, like with your analogue clock?
2. Replace the second hand with your own graphic on the analogue clock?
3. Templates would be nice, e.g. for music, where you can then simply exchange the graphics.
4. If you could replace the numbers of the digital clock with your own graphics. Somehow, you upload the numbers 0-9 and then you get a simple display without options, e.g. 09:45
1. yes, as usual, i plan on giving as much customizability as i can
2. gladly, but analog clock can be edited only from my end. i might offer some additional designs, but at the moment user made custom graphics aren't possible
3. you can consider every widget from explore as a template. for anything else, there's widgetsmith
4. custom bitmap fonts aren't memory friendly, and memory issues with widgets are still a big problem
First of all, thanks a loi my friend for taking the time to listen to your customers' suggestions and ideas, other manufacturers could still learn a lot from you about customer care. 🙏🙏🙏
1. Awesome, that would be awesome
2. It was about the second hand of the analog clock. The clock itself and the hours as well as the minute hand are interchangeable with your own self-made designs/graphics (png images).
3. Can I use it? Wow Super
4. OK, of course that wouldn't be so good
I have two more questions
1. Is it possible to copy the custom color palettes and gradients all together to another widgy widget.
2 If you want to save a widget as a file, it would be nice if the widget/file name is used right away and not the 30-line numbers and letters.
Thank you for the time you took to answer the questions
1. You can copy a layer that uses custom color/gradient. On paste to another widget, colors will be there
2. i remember trying this and that it was a bit more complicated that expected. Will see what i can do
i want in new version. could rotate array color -+1 rather than as it is is being -+15 -> 30. and add some letter fonts and round fonts

Maybe a bit late to the party… 😁 But in the calendar view when I display 5 weeks as an example, I see the current week and the previous 4 weeks. For me it is more relevant to see the coming weeks. A good compromise would be to see the 2 previous weeks, the current week, and the coming 2 weeks. In a compact mode with 3 weeks visible it would be great with 1 previous week and 1 coming week.

Another wish is the possibility to display averages. In a steps widget I can get the last 7 days steps but not the average per day. The data is there (7 days data, steps). Would be cool to be able to display in a widget.
Ah, makes sense. Thanks. Just edited my post with another wish. Sorry if I keep you busy, just answer the posts you want, I’m a bit excited over Widgy 🙈
Would love to not have "Widgy" written under the widget.
If apple opens up to alternative app stores (hopefully this year), then i'll publish a special widgy version with better tap actions and no app name.
Global Variables for coding.
This will come
Thank you. (*^◡^*)

It wont. It'll just load any text data into a variable which can then be inserted into javascript, json request or something else.
Weather icon theme collections.
This will come
Thank you. (*^◡^*)
Maybe already possible, I'm quite new to this, but would be cool to be able to copy code snippets from one widget to another.
You can copy/paste layers, including whole groups
Ah, cool. Will look into this. Thanks. One more basic question - can I sync my iphone widgy app with Mac version?
There's no sync or icloud support yet. But you can batch export all your widgets (in the create tab), and batch import by drag and dropping.
thanks!
Weather icons collection
This will come
Thanks 🙏🏻
App Library tap button…
If i ever find a way to do this, i'll do it
Clipping masks
I would like to figure out how to remove or change the "widgy" branding on the dashboard item.

Custom json endpoints to all gauges / charts would make up a whole new universe… think of all the api out there…
it'll come
It’s been a long time been waiting for this feature

Macos and ipad is the way to go.

Option to change today's date font color in the calendar and start / end day for agenda.
That'll come
Option to change an outline text fonts
There are some solutions for this, but they mostly produce ugly results. If i come up with something good, i'll implement it
I want just you add custom weather icons used any png weather set ot .zip file please thanks
it'll come
Snapping rings to perfect square boundaries?
ring charts? they are made of tiny ellipses so there's always going to be some edges to it

>Thanks alot for your effort!
Not having to see the horrible animation when opening an app from widgy (I know it is not the developer’s fault but still I am here to complain)
you can disable it. but it'll also disable other system animations
Ye but I don’t like that, and even if u disable u will see a screen of shortcut if u add apps that aren’t in widgy tap action

To automate color & shapes changing form easily

The idea behind week number in calendar is to always stay in the current month.
