Guys, I have an older iPad 6th Gen from 2018. I hardly ever use it. I'm looking to set it up in a stationary spot and use it like one does a Echo Show or Google Nest Hub. I will leave it on my coffee table plugged in, on all the time.

Question is, what's the best way to set it up? I'd like to be able to glance at it and see weather, radar, time, and maybe a couple of more useful things. So far the widgets I've seen are small. Is there an app I can get and just leave running all the time for this purpose? Maybe something that also shows notifications, reminders, etc...

So if you were to do this, how would you do it? I need ideas. I may want to use it in ways I haven't thought about, so just let loose on how you would set it up for you, and I'll see if I want to adopt any ideas. Thanks....

Check out DashKit, it’s very customisable and would work great as a display device.
