Widgetsmith
Design your own Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets
The verdict
A single widget slot can show a family photo in the evening and your calendar during work hours, because Widgetsmith swaps widgets on a schedule you set. You also get photo frames, countdowns, clocks and step counts in your own fonts and colors, themed to match its wallpapers. Weather, interactive widgets and no ads need Premium at $1.99 a month or $19.99 a year, so the free tier suits photo and countdown fans best.
Get it if
You want a Home Screen built around your own photos and colors, not Apple's default widget look.
Skip it if
You're happy with Apple's stock weather, calendar and photo widgets, which cost nothing and need no setup.
