When iOS 14 debuted, iPhone owners everywhere were blessed with widgets. But of course, widgets weren't perfect – in fact, there weren't that many widgets even available!
The iPhone has widgets available for time, weather, news, email, some social media apps, and a couple other Apple-native apps. And while that covers the basics, sometimes you want a custom quote on display, or a nicer-looking clock than what Apple gives you.
Enter: Widgetsmith, the widget app here to make your aesthetic home screen dreams come true. If you find yourself wanting to deck out your screen layout with more widget options or just prettier widgets in general, you've come to the right place. Below is a step-by-step guide to Widgetsmith.
Look, Widgetsmith is great for more custom widgets. But if you're looking for a simple way to display your most used apps, and it's an app that Apple already supports for widgets, using the built-in widget system is still much simpler.
To check what widgets are already available with iOS 14 or higher, just long press anywhere on your home screen. Once all the apps start to wiggle, tap the "+" sign in the upper left corner, and scroll through the Apple widget options. If you find a widget you want, tap on it and follow the prompts from there.
The app itself is free, but certain designs for widgets are only available on the premium version, which costs $1.99/month or $19.99/year.
The app offers small, medium, and large widgets. Each size has the same options for widget content, so just choose what makes sense for your home screen.
For this example, we'll choose a time display widget. Apple does have a clock widget, but Widgetsmith's version lets you customize the colors, style, and general vibe of your clock.
Customization options may vary depending on what widget you're adding. If you're adding one with a photo background, you'll choose a picture from your Camera Roll. And again, some themes are only available for premium users. You can also bypass the preloaded themes and tap "Customize theme" to fully curate elements like font, tint color, background color, artwork, and more.
When it looks the way you like, tap on the name in the upper left corner to go back. Tap on the name again to rename it something that helps you remember what it looks like, then make sure you tap "Save" in the upper right corner.
Once you've designed your widget to look the way you like, go back to the Apple widget hub. Once you tap on the "+" button, the Widgetsmith app should show as an option, probably near the bottom of the list. Tap that.
If you have just designed a small widget, choose the small option and hit "Add widget" at the bottom of the screen. If you've made a medium or large widget, scroll to the right until you're on the correct size, then tap the same button. The widget will display as empty at first.

While all your apps are still wiggling, tap on the new widget. Widgetsmith should display the current name of the blank widget, something like "Small #1." Tap that name, and a list of any small widgets you have designed will display. Then choose your widget that you just designed, which you should have renamed earlier.
Your widget will appear wherever you tapped on the screen to create it, but you can move it around the same way you would any other app. If you ever decide you don't want that widget anymore, long press on the widget and tap "Remove Widget."
You can repeat this process for as many widgets as you would like to design, in as many shapes, sizes, and themes as possible. It may be tedious, but beauty is pain!
