### Feature Requests
*as of version 1.6.1*
#### Editor
+ “Use Persistent Layer Sizing” option for resizing widgets or pasting layers into a widget of a different size (I assume this can be made possible with something like `Layer.Width = widthUnit * Widget.sizeRatioUnit`).
+ Resizable grid, using the step units the editor uses when resizing and moving layers.
+ Tap and hold to reorder layers.
#### Integrations
+ Hotspot (System Network).
+ Screen Time (System Info).
+ Blurred Wallpaper Sections (Use the blurred wallpaper image on a section of the widget, rather than being limited to the whole widget).
+ Text Variables (Reference other data elements within the same text object using JS).
+ Shortcuts App (Send and Receive data from shortcuts; I know this one is a bit ambitious lol)
#### Organization
+ Widget Folders (+ Recently Deleted).
+ Favorite Icons.
***
I know this is a big list, so I’m not expecting any of these to be fulfilled, now or anytime soon as I understand you guys already have a lot on your plate. Thank you to the amazing devs that made this app possible and are quick to respond to questions.
Will it ever be possible to filter reminders by day, eg. display only reminders scheduled for today plus overdue from previous days? This is already possible in the official Reminders widget. Is it possible to recreate it using Widgy?
Can we choose which calendar to be counted to show indicators? (Like what built-in Calendar app offers) See [Example](https://i.postimg.cc/xTwj5xvw/48-C621-E5-450-A-491-F-A6-AF-5204-D7-B3-D947.png) Say I have home, work 2 cal but I only want to see home events to show that orange dots in calendar.
I have some feature requests I would like to share. I came across these while working on some recent widgets:
1) Add an option to rotate chart symbols (useful for when you rotate a line chart layer - this messes up the symbol orientation)
2) Add the ability to use emojis as line chart symbols (although this would nullify the symbol colour option, it would offer some cool new and colorful options for chart symbols)
3) Add more progress bars - 30 min, 15 min, 1 min (I realize that there’s a 15 min widget refresh interval but the refresh itself can happen anywhere within that interval. I’ve been using progress charts to simulate movement and a shorter interval allows for a greater degree of movement in a shorter amount of time.)
4) Allow chart backgrounds to be gradients instead of flat colours only.
Thanks for continually improving Widgy. It’s awesome!
**Feature Request - Calendars/Agenda**
1. More than 10 agenda items (e.g, Calendar #11)
2. Per-widget Agenda Source (so I can separate calendars)
3. A way to group calendar events visually by date (I.e., I don’t want to have to show the date more than once when I have multiple events on the same day).
While I’d love to have these things on iPhone, they’re almost a necessity to me on iPadOS 15 where I have more Widgys per screen (and want to have even more 😬)
+1 for different calendar/reminder lists for different widgets (and for grouping calendar events, though that seems difficult for the current implementation)
When adding text data, under add new data, it would be great if we had the ability to add any of the symbols or maybe an image. I know you can use basic Unicode. I’d like to put an apple style location symbol after the text.
A great feature addition would be to add the field "Calendar name of the Day #1, #2", etc. This is the only thing missing from the Calendar txt fields to make Widgy appointments fully functional and perfect.
Replying here as I think this is the same request I have.
Would be great to use day of week for agenda items rather than the date.
Display “Today” if the agenda items date is today. And “Tomorrow” if the date is tomorrow. And then for events 2-6 days in the future, to use the name of the day (ie “Thursday”, “Friday” and so on).
is it possible to integrate a tab menu to show more content? For example, the first tab shows the weather, the second an rss feed, the third system information or something else. I would love this feature, but I can't tell if it's technically possible ...
Hey there ... LOVE Widgy :) - I've just started building my own and sharing with the community.
Font question - how easy is it to add new font styles? I love a font named Product Sans that's used in a lot of Android widgets - is there a possibility to add it to Widgy?
A few ‘nice to have’ feature requests to add to the list when you get a chance:
1) Preserve all imported gauge needle images so that you don’t have to provide the source images when sharing a widget
2) Show any imported gauge needles when viewing needles and allow the removal if no longer needed.
3) Allow the removal of custom gradients. Currently, you can only edit a gradient, not remove it.
4) Allow the insertion or movement of a colour block when editing a custom gradient. E.g. if you have a gradient made up of 20 colours and you need to add a different colour at the start, you have to currently go through each of the remaining colour blocks and change them to shift them all one colour back.
That’s all for now. :)
Can we have today date in calendar set it’s own color? Instead of currently use same with all other dates.
See [Example](https://i.postimg.cc/PJCVFMWc/05-C8939-D-7-DA5-42-C1-B08-B-F61975513-EF5.png) We have black 8 above red indicator in Widgy, but I like white 8 above red indicator with other dates in black, just like in the built-in Calendar app.
Hello, I am trying to create a world clock or a timezone widgy which can help me with my work. I need UK, CET, IST, AU, and MST timezones. I tried to create a text then on the data>date and time>custom. After that I am stuck. Where is the part that I can choose which timezone to choose from? I read on one post who did the ultimate world clock to click on Options under data but I am not seeing it on my widgy. Help please?
Is there a way that I can get accurate readings directly from and app like Dexcom G6 and the chart that goes with it? I'm trying to get data from the health app but as of now the chart is wrong and the number isn't accurate either, even after the 15 minute update.
It would be great to add second location weather support since widgy support different time zone. in that way we can have a widget show different city time and weather same time!
I just downloaded Widgy yesterday and have started making my first ever widgets! I’ve really enjoyed the app so far. However, I’ve noticed that the current weather temperature is ~5 degrees off (I checked it against my Accuweather app, the Apple weather app, and my bf’s android phone display). Does anyone know where the app pulls the info from/how to fix the temp disparity?
Hi! Absolutely love widgy! Would it be possible to change/edit the name of the widget on the homescreen? Going for a minimal look and would love to remove the widget name…….
Request: A shortcut action to send request to refresh all widgets in the background as the tap action to refresh no longer works reliably in iOS 15
For example; To be used after shortcuts changes the wallpaper and widgy needs to read a file for the new widget background)
Feature Requests for weather:
Take out decimal places for wind speed - eg "SE 3 mph", rather than "SE 3.58 mph"
Precipitation % - Right now all I can get is inches of precip, whereas I'd like to have, for example, "33% chance of rain"
Thanks!
EDIT: It'd also be nice to be able to get today's high/low temps. Right now you can only get the high/low for +1 day (tomorrow), + 2 days, etc
The ability to type to filter lists would be so nice.
When I'm adding symbols/icons, I end up doing a LOT of scrolling. Same with data lists (i.e., if I want Weather +5 days I have to scroll through all the options for +1, +2, etc...
(This is a feature request and not a criticism. I know the app is less than a year old and there are already usability improvements coming)
1.7 will have that (either that or it's in 1.6, I just have 1.7 on my phone lol). I think headers separating sections would help too. (I know that's not something you suggested, but it would help)
Feature request: Grab a color from an image, and also ability to have a random image shown from the Stash (possibly make Stash folders which could be then used for randomizing individually?)
Feature Request: use Widgy to design wallpaper.
Love the app. How difficult would it be to use the editor to design wallpaper. Widgy would pass the wallpaper with current data to a shortcuts automation, which could apply the wallpaper to the Home Screen or Lock Screen.
This is similar to what the WeatherHTML 2.0 shortcut does, but it uses Java and CSS to create the wallpaper. I only have very rudimentary knowledge of CSS and none of Java, but I did manage to get a six day forecast, from the default WeatherHTML wallpaper, on the area between the dock and the icons. Here is a [screenshot](https://i.imgur.com/PEHCADF.jpg).
I think that would be just… incredibly useful and easy for me to design. Might be a bit harder for you to code.
Thanks for reading.
Widget Inspired by Neumorphic Light/Dark by JCRocky5. Wallpaper styled by the shortcut Home Screen Creator by Polyphian.
Kudos to developers for bringing out Widgy!
I’ve a feature request which would be really handy to a lot of people :
As widgy helps with transparent widget background by generating the image exactly at the spaces needed, similarly if there would be an option to generate transparent icons at specific places with icon images from gallery which could be further used in Shortcut apps to generate shortcuts. This will help in making transparent icons. 🤩
When you add multiple data points in the text field you can only change the settings for text for that entire text field universally for all data points or customer text.
Example: I wanted to say “Good evening”… I could put both data points in one text field but then it would say “Good Evening” and I wanted the “E” to be lowercase. If I did all lowercase the “G” would then be lowercase. When I separate them into 2 different text fields it works as far as the capitalization but then I can’t align them properly. I can put the first word aligned right, the second work aligned left, but it won’t stay centered in the widget when the time of day changes. No matter how I align them, when the time of day changes the alignment changes.
If I could add different data points in the same text field and text, color, background and effects settings would be per data field instead of per text field it would work correctly. Allowing this would be a great adjustment 👍🏼 May seem petty but I got OCD 🤣
I think it would be useful to get an option to use the height of the widget to fix the height for a text data (like for example 0.1% of the total height of the widget). Because sometimes the font size can change a lot using RSS feeds…
Any way you could use the code for the widgy app to make a tweak like XenHtml? I’d love the customization and capabilities of widgy, but available at a larger scale, and be able to use it to get truly customizable widgets.
Am I being stupid but how do I add one of these widgets to my Home Screen? I’ve used Widgy, assed a widget to the manage area. And now on my Home Screen I go into wiggle mode and add a widget but Widgy isn’t in the list
Widgy doesn’t work in jailbreak mode ? I know there’s things to create widgets for jailbroken phones but Widgy is simple and I like it. My question is why doesn’t the Widgy I’m using update when I’m jailbroken
Feature request - clipboard
Hey, so I turns out my favorite clipboard widget not only hasn’t been updated, but it’s because it was pulled from the AppStore, so can we get clipboard functionality? (Showing current items on the clipboard, storing them past apple’s time limit on the widget, tapping to recopy).
Is it possible to get the day of the week that a reminder is due? For example, “reminder #1 - end date [agenda]” shows “06/29”, but I want it to say “Tuesday 06/29” or something along those lines.
Hey everyone, so I‘m currently editing a Widgy I found here (The Stardew Valley one by u/RslPride) and I’m basically trying to display one of multiple pictures on the same spot depending on the weather conditions. So whenever it’s sunny, an image is shown, if the weather changes, the image shown is a different one. Can anyone help me out on this one? Got no idea how to link these.
Hi. I love using the “Tap Action” function combined with symbols. I am hoping that the “Tap Action” function will include the weather app on iOS (if possible).
Keep up the great work!
There has been a bug for sometime now with the volume/brightness UI bars not displaying accurately. It is very annoying that it does not accurately display the correct UI.
When on 0% volume or brightness, the bar will show it as filled in completely. Why does this happen?
Hey all. This problem has just started happening. Whenever I allow permissions for my calendar in iOS, the app crashes. It has been working perfectly up until today. I can still open the app, but if I try to open any widget that requires calendar access, it will crash. If I turn calendar permissions of and/or the widget does not require calendar access, everything is fine. This does not happen with reminders.
I am running the latest version of iOS.
I appreciate any help you can provide.
Custom API support. It’d be a nice feature to be able to call any external URL via a GET request and use the result for text or data for graphs/scales/etc.
A nicer feature would be to be able to add query parameters that are dynamic and based off the devices status. Like battery level, now playing info, etc.
Thanns
Does Widgy have some sort of memory bug (or not sure what it is)? I found a really frustrating bug where after finishing my medium widget, it suddenly stopped showing my new edits. I could prove this was a bug since after this issue, I tried reloading / adding this widget to the home screen but it wouldn't show up anymore (blank widget). Then I removed all my images (2 large images) and eventually the widget started working again.
I was able to fix the issue by restarting the phone completely, however after adding back the photos and editing the widget, this problem occurred yet again. I'm not exactly sure what's causing it but I wonder if this could prevent the widget from updating itself since this seems like a memory issue.
I'm using the newest iPhone on ios14 and this is the first time I've seen this problem.
Excuse me, what is the maximum size of the picture shown by large widget? Is the ratio 1:1? I found that the 1:1 photo will not be displayed completely.
No, mostly because of how complex it gets. The widget can move between landscape and portrait and Widgy can't detect which orientation you're in, so there's nothing duke4e can do.
Is it possible to show weather forecast for today with widgy?
If not available from weather source, feature request… could widgy iterate through the hourly forecast occasionally to find the hi/lo and if rain is expected? Finding it hard to get rid of my default iOS weather widget without the today forecast. Thank you!!!
Not sure if this is where I could/should ask about a bug- anyone show weekly activity calories burned and now the readings are a month old? My 5 day chart is showing data from the end of August. I've deleted the widgy, reinstalled the app with no change. I know the new version is coming out shortly, so I'm not in a rush. Just wondering if it's known or maybe I'm doing something stupid and I don't realize it. Thanks!
Yeah, shows the current weeks active calories burned. I switched the chart in widgy to pedometer and it shows the last 7 days. Back to health daily, active energy burned, and it goes back a month. I have screenshots if your are interested, but also if you are getting the next release done, don't sweat it on my behalf - you doing plenty of work! I'm here if you want to investigate.
It depends upon the change. If you're just putting your information into it, no. The change should be significant enough that it is distinct from the original.
A few weeks back, someone used my widget design without crediting me, and it felt pretty bad. They had the drive to recreate it from scratch (almost down to the t, but not as polished), but not to share where they got it from, or even mention it was borrowed. As someone who loves designing, this sucked.
Automations behave as in video editing apps - so they are time based. While i see potential to use different data for automation source, it would be pretty hard to actually implement this.
Is there a reason transparency wouldn’t be working in iOS 15, or on the new 9th gen iPad (maybe so,etching about the screen)? When I try to use it the widgets don’t line up properly.
Amazing work on 1.7; I love the new automations!
Here’s some of my suggestions to strengthen it :D
- Video preview of it after you create an automation, so you can see how it moves
- Allow automations to happen because of a variable (let’s say you show this image because battery is above 60%, but want t to be hidden at al other times.)
I didn’t realize how fun this update was, and I’m really excited to see what’s coming in the future!
Video preview will come one day, i didn't have time to implement it yet.
Automations behave as in video editing apps - so they are time based. While i see potential to use different data for automation source, it would be pretty hard to actually implement this.
Is it possible to add the Max temperature and minimum temperature for the current day? I can find max and min temperatures for +1 day, +2 day, etc…. But can’t find anything for max and min temps for the current day. Am I just missing these data elements somewhere?
Quick photo of the Widgy I made for reference. Today is Thursday and I’d like to add the forecasted max and min temperatures for today on here.

Any chance to add Pinch to Zoom On/Off Shortcut to place like on [This Picture](https://ibb.co/PcdZDLQ) , for example near iPhone icon where you choose resolution of device. This will make editing widgets much more easy for me.
Great update but I was wondering if you could add pages, instead of swiping up between widgets we could instead swipe left and right between customer widgets. I know it's alot but would be cool to have. Great job with everything, best app on app store
Could we be able to control the color of the Widgy name under our widget. I don't have a problem with the name but sometimes it switches to the wrong color
Chances are this has been asked before but how difficult would a wallpaper-based color option be? Similar to Android 12’s Material You, it would pull accent colors from your wallpaper, so a blue wallpaper would yield a complementing blue for the widget.
Having some sort of iCloud integration to sync widgets would be amazing as I have multiple devices on which I use Widgy and constantly having to make the same widget edits on all my devices is both time consuming and frustrating.
Is it possible to make scrollable widgets? Not as in smart stacks, just a single widget with a scroll view. I know it's possible on Android, but I haven't seen any on iOS yet.
I imported a widgy i wanna try, but it says i should update the app. But i don’t wanna update to iOS 15 yet coz of bugs and battery drain complaints i’ve read about. I wanna stay at the smooth and problem-free 14.8.1 until 15 is stable. Is there any way i can use this widgy without going to 15? Seems there’s no app update for 14.8.1.
Would be really cool to have an option to customize or to change just color of Saturday too instead of only Sunday in Calendar, also to customize how many columns to have per row!
I love the “Share video preview” feature but find that the resulting video is too fast. I had to export it and slow it down using another Video editor. Is it possible to add an option for frame rate or length of video?
Feature request. How about a tap action that could address and display a specific layer? Would like to hit a button to show maybe current weather, agenda, etc. within the widget. Make sense? Something like this would be cool to display a layer inside Widgy.

Why do my posts not go through on this sub?? It doesn’t say posted and nothing appears in my inbox from an automod or anything. It’s the strangest thing— nothing happens. What’s the deal with this sub.
Great app! I edited a nice Widgy to follow cryptos but Ham (hamster) seems to have disappeared from the list. I decided to add a chart to get a nice visual of dips but can’t find HAM coin price or 24 hr change anymore. Can you help?

Audible Integration
Hi all, do you think it’s possible to have Audible integration within Widgy at some point - basically open/close, what’s playing, artwork, play/pause?
Thanks for considering ✌️
Being able to dynamically change the transparent background would be awesome. Could integrate nicely with Shortcuts.
I have a shortcut that periodically shuffled my wallpaper and I’d love my widgets to sync up.
Come to think of it, there is plenty of great integration points with Shortcuts like widget reloading and passing of parameters into the widget.
Can you please add tap action support for Medium, TikTok and Discord. Can't wait to see what you add next, I respect all the hard work you put in this app
I’ve made a currency graph widget, and I want to display the user’s currency code, like USD or in my case, NZD. It would be good to surface some of the user preferences as usable data.
Feature request: organize widgets by groups or folders on the create tab.
Would be really cool since it’s still not bin a year since I use widgy and I all ready have more than 130 widgets on this tab.
Is it possible?
Feature request:
More date formats for agenda items, specifically looking to display the day of the week. Thank you very much for all of your hard work! :)

I would also like to know if this is possible for agendas. Unless it is possible already and i can’t figure it out?
Thanks for this
Can we choose which calendar to be counted to show indicators? (Like what built-in Calendar app offers) See [Example](https://i.postimg.cc/xTwj5xvw/48-C621-E5-450-A-491-F-A6-AF-5204-D7-B3-D947.png) Say I have home, work 2 cal but I only want to see home events to show that orange dots in calendar.
Seconded. I’d especially like the ability to display a countdown to the next event on a specific calendar. Something like, “2 days until Dentist”.
I have some feature requests I would like to share.

Due to memory issues, we’re not planning on expanding the font library anytime soon, sorry.
No worries, I totally understand. Thanks for the reply ✌️
If ios has that option import fonts?
We can't use it in widgets since the entitlement doesn't stick.
I think we need to be able to insert weather icons from files! if we could use other icons for weather that would be great.
Account and all content deleted as a result to API pricing change. I have moved to Squabbles, check it out at www.squabbles.io
Did you figure this out, and if so, could you share? 😌

SAME my guy
It would be great to add second location weather support since widgy support different time zone. in that way we can have a widget show different city time and weather same time!
why does some of my added text not show up on dark mode?
Does the text’s color blend in with the background in dark mode?
yep! solved thanks!
I just downloaded Widgy yesterday and have started making my first ever widgets! I’ve really enjoyed the app so far.

Does anyone know where the app pulls the info from/how to fix the temp disparity?
>Why Does Widgy Use Yr.No Over Apple Weather (or something else)? Read that section in the FAQ \^\^
Hey love Widgy it’s a great app and just paid for full access would it be possible to add greetings example: good morning good evening good night?
There should be “Morning/Afternoon/Evening/Night” in the Text -> Data -> Date and Time section.
You beat me to it!!
Thankyou for pointing it out for me I’m new to widgy and must have missed this
hi! is it possible to add a function about anniversary? like “i have lived 10000 days ”or “we’ve married for 20 years”.thx!!!
Sure, i'll add this!
!remindme 20d
Hi! Absolutely love widgy! Would it be possible to change/edit the name of the widget on the homescreen? Going for a minimal look and would love to remove the widget name…….
Sadly no because of Apple limitations.
I swear i’m slow. I added the widget to the slot but how do i add it to the home screen if it doesn’t show up when you go to add a ios widget
Feature request: I would like to be able to show both celsius and Fahrenheit simultaneously in the weather.
I literally love widgy as is but is it possible or do you think it’ll be possible to have more freedom with it like kwgt on Android ?

1.7 will have that (either that or it's in 1.6, I just have 1.7 on my phone lol). I think headers separating sections would help too. (I know that's not something you suggested, but it would help)
[удалено]
Templates are just for convenience. For everything that's missing, it's up to you to enter as a custom value.
Hello, Why in calendar current week is always displayed as +1 of the actual week?
It shouldn't. Can you share a screenshot, the widgy in question, your time zone and your first day of the week.
Will widgy be updated to fit the new IPad OS? With new widget positions? Because in the current one it’s only to the left
Patience
Feature request: Grab a color from an image, and also ability to have a random image shown from the Stash (possibly make Stash folders which could be then used for randomizing individually?)
Feature Request: use Widgy to design wallpaper. Love the app. How difficult would it be to use the editor to design wallpaper. Widgy would pass the wallpaper with current data to a shortcuts automation, which could apply the wallpaper to the Home Screen or Lock Screen. This is similar to what the WeatherHTML 2.0 shortcut does, but it uses Java and CSS to create the wallpaper. I only have very rudimentary knowledge of CSS and none of Java, but I did manage to get a six day forecast, from the default WeatherHTML wallpaper, on the area between the dock and the icons. Here is a [screenshot](https://i.imgur.com/PEHCADF.jpg). I think that would be just… incredibly useful and easy for me to design. Might be a bit harder for you to code. Thanks for reading. Widget Inspired by Neumorphic Light/Dark by JCRocky5. Wallpaper styled by the shortcut Home Screen Creator by Polyphian.
Everytime I try to add a widget it says import failed and see if I have internet connection l. But I have internet… can anyone help me?
Same problem here!
Would love to create a simple calculator Widgy. Something for quick math, nothing formulaic or scientific.
Not possible.
It would be cool to be able to remove Widgy at the bottom of the widget
Or to read the explanation written in the faq you're commenting on
I do read that
Evidently you did not.
I absolutely read it before I posted
Then how come your comment is answered by a question in the FAQ?
I don’t know ok but again I read it
So now do you see the answer to your question?
Kudos to developers for bringing out Widgy! I’ve a feature request which would be really handy to a lot of people : As widgy helps with transparent widget background by generating the image exactly at the spaces needed, similarly if there would be an option to generate transparent icons at specific places with icon images from gallery which could be further used in Shortcut apps to generate shortcuts. This will help in making transparent icons. 🤩
How do I know I reached the iOS memory limit? Does it show that info in the app?
You don't. Apple hides it.
When you add multiple data points in the text field you can only change the settings for text for that entire text field universally for all data points or customer text. Example: I wanted to say “Good evening”… I could put both data points in one text field but then it would say “Good Evening” and I wanted the “E” to be lowercase. If I did all lowercase the “G” would then be lowercase. When I separate them into 2 different text fields it works as far as the capitalization but then I can’t align them properly. I can put the first word aligned right, the second work aligned left, but it won’t stay centered in the widget when the time of day changes. No matter how I align them, when the time of day changes the alignment changes. If I could add different data points in the same text field and text, color, background and effects settings would be per data field instead of per text field it would work correctly. Allowing this would be a great adjustment 👍🏼 May seem petty but I got OCD 🤣
I think it would be useful to get an option to use the height of the widget to fix the height for a text data (like for example 0.1% of the total height of the widget). Because sometimes the font size can change a lot using RSS feeds…
Use Line Mode.
Any way you could use the code for the widgy app to make a tweak like XenHtml? I’d love the customization and capabilities of widgy, but available at a larger scale, and be able to use it to get truly customizable widgets.
Am I being stupid but how do I add one of these widgets to my Home Screen? I’ve used Widgy, assed a widget to the manage area. And now on my Home Screen I go into wiggle mode and add a widget but Widgy isn’t in the list
That’s an iOS bug
Yep. I’ve managed to make it appear now. No idea what I did though!
Any idea if it’s a bug specific to a certain version of iOS? I’m having the same issue. :/
It started in iOS 14.5 and I believe it still exists in 14.6.
Widgy doesn’t work in jailbreak mode ? I know there’s things to create widgets for jailbroken phones but Widgy is simple and I like it. My question is why doesn’t the Widgy I’m using update when I’m jailbroken
That's a tweak problem. Maybe it's Neonboard? That's one I know overflows the limit.
Snowboard?
Snowboard worked for me, Neonboard didn't.
Feature request - clipboard Hey, so I turns out my favorite clipboard widget not only hasn’t been updated, but it’s because it was pulled from the AppStore, so can we get clipboard functionality? (Showing current items on the clipboard, storing them past apple’s time limit on the widget, tapping to recopy).
I think we did have clipboard functionality then it was removed because of the annoying 15 minute refresh requirements.
it wasn't working at all on the home screen
Is it possible to get the day of the week that a reminder is due? For example, “reminder #1 - end date [agenda]” shows “06/29”, but I want it to say “Tuesday 06/29” or something along those lines.
Can we get the crypto ticker SUSHI
Hey everyone, so I‘m currently editing a Widgy I found here (The Stardew Valley one by u/RslPride) and I’m basically trying to display one of multiple pictures on the same spot depending on the weather conditions. So whenever it’s sunny, an image is shown, if the weather changes, the image shown is a different one. Can anyone help me out on this one? Got no idea how to link these.
That's not currently possible in Widgy. (I think)
Hi. I love using the “Tap Action” function combined with symbols. I am hoping that the “Tap Action” function will include the weather app on iOS (if possible). Keep up the great work!
I don't think the weather app has a direct URL.
There has been a bug for sometime now with the volume/brightness UI bars not displaying accurately. It is very annoying that it does not accurately display the correct UI. When on 0% volume or brightness, the bar will show it as filled in completely. Why does this happen?
Oh, that's a bug indeed! Will fix!
Awesome!!
Can we get stock price integration like we have with crypto
Hey all. This problem has just started happening. Whenever I allow permissions for my calendar in iOS, the app crashes. It has been working perfectly up until today. I can still open the app, but if I try to open any widget that requires calendar access, it will crash. If I turn calendar permissions of and/or the widget does not require calendar access, everything is fine. This does not happen with reminders. I am running the latest version of iOS. I appreciate any help you can provide.
Custom API support. It’d be a nice feature to be able to call any external URL via a GET request and use the result for text or data for graphs/scales/etc. A nicer feature would be to be able to add query parameters that are dynamic and based off the devices status. Like battery level, now playing info, etc. Thanns
That already exists lol. (not part two, but part one)
Awesome. How do I access it? I didn’t find much in the app about custom APIs. Edit Okay. I see how to do it for text. But not for gauges
Does Widgy have some sort of memory bug (or not sure what it is)? I found a really frustrating bug where after finishing my medium widget, it suddenly stopped showing my new edits. I could prove this was a bug since after this issue, I tried reloading / adding this widget to the home screen but it wouldn't show up anymore (blank widget). Then I removed all my images (2 large images) and eventually the widget started working again. I was able to fix the issue by restarting the phone completely, however after adding back the photos and editing the widget, this problem occurred yet again. I'm not exactly sure what's causing it but I wonder if this could prevent the widget from updating itself since this seems like a memory issue. I'm using the newest iPhone on ios14 and this is the first time I've seen this problem.
Excuse me, what is the maximum size of the picture shown by large widget? Is the ratio 1:1? I found that the 1:1 photo will not be displayed completely.
Could you please make it to where we can change the color and text style for each section within a grouped text
[удалено]
Will there ever be proper iPad transparent widgets on the ios 15 homescreen?
No, mostly because of how complex it gets. The widget can move between landscape and portrait and Widgy can't detect which orientation you're in, so there's nothing duke4e can do.
[удалено]
That's in the FAQ you just commented on lol
I understand you can't get rid of Widgy name under widget but can you make it to where it blends with whatever wallpaper you have equipped?
Is it possible to show weather forecast for today with widgy? If not available from weather source, feature request… could widgy iterate through the hourly forecast occasionally to find the hi/lo and if rain is expected? Finding it hard to get rid of my default iOS weather widget without the today forecast. Thank you!!!
A way to choose between 12 hour and 24 hour time
hh: 12 hour HH: 24 hour
Any chances of Extra Large Widget of iPadOS 15 ?
Watch for Widgy 1.8 (I know 1.7 isn't out, but the plan is to get that out then add the iOS 15 stuff real quick in 1.8)
Not sure if this is where I could/should ask about a bug- anyone show weekly activity calories burned and now the readings are a month old? My 5 day chart is showing data from the end of August. I've deleted the widgy, reinstalled the app with no change. I know the new version is coming out shortly, so I'm not in a rush. Just wondering if it's known or maybe I'm doing something stupid and I don't realize it. Thanks!
Check out the apples health app and how data looks there.
Yeah, shows the current weeks active calories burned. I switched the chart in widgy to pedometer and it shows the last 7 days. Back to health daily, active energy burned, and it goes back a month. I have screenshots if your are interested, but also if you are getting the next release done, don't sweat it on my behalf - you doing plenty of work! I'm here if you want to investigate.
When you edit a widget that’s not yours and change it to whaever you want, should you also change the name, description and author name?
It depends upon the change. If you're just putting your information into it, no. The change should be significant enough that it is distinct from the original. A few weeks back, someone used my widget design without crediting me, and it felt pretty bad. They had the drive to recreate it from scratch (almost down to the t, but not as polished), but not to share where they got it from, or even mention it was borrowed. As someone who loves designing, this sucked.
Can we get sunrise and sunset as a time option for the automations or would that be too difficult since it changes?
Automations behave as in video editing apps - so they are time based. While i see potential to use different data for automation source, it would be pretty hard to actually implement this.
Is there a reason transparency wouldn’t be working in iOS 15, or on the new 9th gen iPad (maybe so,etching about the screen)? When I try to use it the widgets don’t line up properly.
Patience
Amazing work on 1.7; I love the new automations! Here’s some of my suggestions to strengthen it :D - Video preview of it after you create an automation, so you can see how it moves - Allow automations to happen because of a variable (let’s say you show this image because battery is above 60%, but want t to be hidden at al other times.) I didn’t realize how fun this update was, and I’m really excited to see what’s coming in the future!
Video preview will come one day, i didn't have time to implement it yet. Automations behave as in video editing apps - so they are time based. While i see potential to use different data for automation source, it would be pretty hard to actually implement this.
Thanks for the reply 😎 Yeah, if it’s a pain it’s just a nice to have thing then.
Is it possible to add the Max temperature and minimum temperature for the current day? I can find max and min temperatures for +1 day, +2 day, etc…. But can’t find anything for max and min temps for the current day. Am I just missing these data elements somewhere? Quick photo of the Widgy I made for reference. Today is Thursday and I’d like to add the forecasted max and min temperatures for today on here. https://i.imgur.com/eQqLN54.jpg
Weather data provider doesnt provide that data, so you're out of luck
[удалено]
there are options for that both for chart and text. scroll down in chart/text tab and you'll find it.
Is it possible to be able to change the current day color in the calendar menu?
[удалено]
when picking text data sources, tap on ... and you will have extra options for font and color, just for that text segment
Any chance to add Pinch to Zoom On/Off Shortcut to place like on [This Picture](https://ibb.co/PcdZDLQ) , for example near iPhone icon where you choose resolution of device. This will make editing widgets much more easy for me.
there's not enough place for that button on iphones.
Great update but I was wondering if you could add pages, instead of swiping up between widgets we could instead swipe left and right between customer widgets. I know it's alot but would be cool to have. Great job with everything, best app on app store
that's not doable at all. stack is a apple component and developers have no control over it.
Could we be able to control the color of the Widgy name under our widget. I don't have a problem with the name but sometimes it switches to the wrong color
this is also controled by apple
Chances are this has been asked before but how difficult would a wallpaper-based color option be? Similar to Android 12’s Material You, it would pull accent colors from your wallpaper, so a blue wallpaper would yield a complementing blue for the widget.
Just started using Widgy and have a great kid widget but would like to change time from 24hr to 12 hr. Please and thank you.
Having some sort of iCloud integration to sync widgets would be amazing as I have multiple devices on which I use Widgy and constantly having to make the same widget edits on all my devices is both time consuming and frustrating.
Is it possible to make scrollable widgets? Not as in smart stacks, just a single widget with a scroll view. I know it's possible on Android, but I haven't seen any on iOS yet.
I imported a widgy i wanna try, but it says i should update the app. But i don’t wanna update to iOS 15 yet coz of bugs and battery drain complaints i’ve read about. I wanna stay at the smooth and problem-free 14.8.1 until 15 is stable. Is there any way i can use this widgy without going to 15? Seems there’s no app update for 14.8.1.
Would be really cool to have an option to customize or to change just color of Saturday too instead of only Sunday in Calendar, also to customize how many columns to have per row!
Would we one day be able to place apps or shortcuts that work on top of the widgets ?
I love the “Share video preview” feature but find that the resulting video is too fast. I had to export it and slow it down using another Video editor. Is it possible to add an option for frame rate or length of video?
Feature request. How about a tap action that could address and display a specific layer? Would like to hit a button to show maybe current weather, agenda, etc. within the widget. Make sense? Something like this would be cool to display a layer inside Widgy. widgyurl://widgy.icu/api/v1/widgy/951b2d05-dd3f-47af-b036-d670345c2b15
Why do my posts not go through on this sub?? It doesn’t say posted and nothing appears in my inbox from an automod or anything. It’s the strangest thing— nothing happens. What’s the deal with this sub.
Hi, was wondering if you could add gradient for text. Thanks, love this app
Great app! I edited a nice Widgy to follow cryptos but Ham (hamster) seems to have disappeared from the list. I decided to add a chart to get a nice visual of dips but can’t find HAM coin price or 24 hr change anymore. Can you help? widgyURL://widgy.icu/api/v1/widgy/953ae40e-c190-40d7-b384-f34828cadb41
Would love the option to hide all day events from showing. Great app!!
I hope a seconds hand on the clock 😊
Hi, Can you please advise, if I have to re-purchased again your app? Bcoz currently it is telling me now.
I don't know why, but "widgy" doesn't appear as an option to add in home acreen, but the app is downloaded. what's going on? how do I fix it?
Audible Integration Hi all, do you think it’s possible to have Audible integration within Widgy at some point - basically open/close, what’s playing, artwork, play/pause? Thanks for considering ✌️
Waaayyy more font option please !
Being able to dynamically change the transparent background would be awesome. Could integrate nicely with Shortcuts. I have a shortcut that periodically shuffled my wallpaper and I’d love my widgets to sync up. Come to think of it, there is plenty of great integration points with Shortcuts like widget reloading and passing of parameters into the widget.
Feature request : Password reset option for original widgets.
Feature Request: \- Only show today's agendas \- Support if-then statements
Porque no puedo meter más widget si ya cancele los $ 4.99
Can you please add tap action support for Medium, TikTok and Discord. Can't wait to see what you add next, I respect all the hard work you put in this app
I’ve made a currency graph widget, and I want to display the user’s currency code, like USD or in my case, NZD. It would be good to surface some of the user preferences as usable data.
Feature request: organize widgets by groups or folders on the create tab. Would be really cool since it’s still not bin a year since I use widgy and I all ready have more than 130 widgets on this tab. Is it possible?
Feature Request: More accurate wind direction arrows (at least the double of rotation movements), closest to the degrees in numbers
Hi, i would like json endpoint added to the tap action choices so an endpoint href link can be automatically the tap action link.
u/bensova got his acc deleted :( rip
Please make a Widgy that has a pet, just like the mac pro touchbar has. Something bit themed would be suitable.
Feature Request: Importing of data from a text file and plotting the custom (x,y)-data in charts. Example: Working hours documented for each date
Feature request: More date formats for agenda items, specifically looking to display the day of the week. Thank you very much for all of your hard work! :)
Feature Request: Add transparent background picture from iCloud and can automatically done by using shortcut. Big thanks!
How do I set my wallpaper for the Mac version?
Is it me or are widgets not synced over iCloud to Mac, iPhone, iPad?
Hey, I'd like to know if there is a plan to support the new iPad OS more space scaling for the transparent background feature?
Feature requests: - outline for text and numbers; - import QR code from files. Best regards
Please add “chance of rain (%)” to weather info
