How to Set up a Basic Widgetsmith Widget

The following steps outline how to create widgets with Widgetsmith. Although you may wish to create a different widget, the process is largely the same, with slightly different visual options offered at each stage of the process.

Before following these steps, download the Widgetsmith from the App Store.

  1. Open the Widgetsmith app.
  2. Choose whether you want to make a Small Widget, Medium Widget, or Large Widget. To make a brand new widget in addition to the preset calendar widget, select Add... Widget for your chosen size. In this case, we are editing the preset calendar widget. To change the preset calendar widget of your chosen size, select it.
  3. Select Default Widget. To make the widget appear at a scheduled time, simply tap Timed Widget instead of Default Widget.
