    How do I fix the positions of Widgets on the desktop?

    Every time I start up my MacStudio (M1), my Widget on the desktop is not sorted the way I would like it to be. Every time I put you down correctly. But upon restart it is wrong again. I can't find how to prevent and set this up.

    Universal I created a custom Home Screen widget app

    I was tired of waiting for app developers to add Home Screen widgets to their apps, so I created an app that lets you create a custom home screen widget with any image from the web that you like, updated hourly. I use it myself for viewing space weather data when there's a decent chance of...

    Widget bar and app/shortcut/url launcher in one!

    It's crazy that to see basic information like time or battery status you have to go 🙄👌 in Vision Pro. I have tried a few widgets app too but I also don't like the fact that they just get scattered everywhere, and I have to reopen each of them every time Vision Pro shuts down the app. So I made...

    Widget(s) no longer "on top"

    I have a couple widgets on my desktop and until a recent update (can't say which - sorry), my desktop icons would treat widgets like a window and position the icons away from the widget. Not sure how best to describe this.... Since something changed, those desktop icons are now going under or...

    Widgets and notification center stopped working

    Last night out of the blue one of my desktop widgets (i think it was either Battery or World Clock) stopped displaying anything, just an empty colored square. I tried to see what was the matter but then the entire set of widgets started flashing on and off. Trying to edit widgets doesn't...

    Ever since I upgraded to iOS 17, I’ve noticed that widget contents will sometimes slide in from the upper left. This is seems to be reproducible after a reboot. Anyone else seeing this? Mike

    Widget reset on Standby screen

    I customized my standby screen with two widgets and removed all of the Apple supplied widgets. At night, my downloaded widgets are removed and replaced with the 5 installed widgets. This happened on my iPhone 14 and new iPhone 15. I disabled Smart Stack and reinstalled my widgets - all to no...

    Standby Mode is Bad

    My hot take about iOS 17 is that Standby mode is bad in it's current state. This weekend I 3D printed a MagSafe stand for my desk. Been using it all day with my new 15 Pro Max. The photos it displays aren't very customizable. I can't seem to find a way to just pick my family's shared photo...

    Apple Music widget still doesn’t work right in ios17

    When they announced in iOS17 that Apple Music was getting some interface updates I was hoping they’d finally get around to fixing the widgets so that it showed last played song, something Spotify does by default, instead it has a random song listened to many songs back and tapping the widget...

    apps to utilize the ScreenTime on watch

    Do anyone know about apps that are using ScreenTime to show this metric on the watch? in form of a widget or just by an app? Im quite amused that apple is not providing any widget to show the screen time data on apple watch and I’m trying to find something that would do. So far I only found app...

    iPhone 14 Pro Max 8+ to 14PM, Tips/Advice for new Pro user? Screen Layout Ideas? Never used Widgets

    So I've had my Pro Max for about a month and been loving it, my old 8+ was dying more and more frequently and it was well overdue for an upgrade. I was able to get the hang of the new swiping gestures easier than I thought, it took me awhile to stop double tapping the bottom of the screen lol...

    Current State of Widgets

    Last year when Apple introduced widgets I was excited because widgets have become stale and a forgotten feature on Android by developers. I thought for sure iOS developers would breathe new life into them and make them become relevant again. Sadly this hasn't been the case at all. Instead...

    Lock Screen Widgets - Almost useless?

    Is it only me or did I expect these new Lock Screen Widgets to be much better? They look kind of crapy and you can't see much. You either get 4 small circles or 2 slightly larger squares. Yes, there is some info that wasn't there before but it looks pretty underwhelming. I expected that you will...

    iOS Widgets - Love or Hate 'em. What are your feelings?

    Widgets This is a bit of a curiosity on how everyone is finding widgets for iOS. My personal view is ... meh. To be fair, I may be a bit biased. I have been using widgets on Android for a good while and was happy when they came out for iOS. Not talking the Today screen. That was another...

    Widgets on Desktop

    Why is this not a thing, yet? iOS supports widgets on the home screen since last year's version. I feel like the only innovation Desktop has seen in years is 'stacks'. It's this huge unused space. It's easily accessible with a convenient gesture too, but it offers zero functionality. Widgets are...
