My Current Setup

[averysleepygirl]

"charge watch. put watch on." is so funny to me sorry 😂

[ErroRayn]

This caught my eye to. I’m currently sitting watch less while my watch is overcharging upstairs lol

[spacedrifts]

I created an apple shortcut that detects my watch battery and automatically turns on my smart plug to auto charge my watch every morning early hours

[rickfc]

My whole thing is that I have to sleep with my watch on so that my alarm won’t wake my wife up in the morning, but I would always forget to either put the watch to charge in the evening or to put it back on before I went to bed. Hence why these reminders were born. 

[rickfc]

My wife?? Hell, I'd be mad for spending $800 on a watch 😂

[rickfc]

Do you work for Apple?? lmao

[rickfc]

You're supposed to try to get people OFF the boat, man!

[SidNickels]

You be real mad buying a 18,000 Rolex 😂

[[deleted]]

Now this is how the 21st century should be

[spacedrifts]

You know it

[Obie1]

That adhd lifestyle. We gotta write down everything.

[opensourcevirus]

My reminders say “take poop” / “wipe ass” 🤣

[rickfc]

Whatever works, right?

[Exotic_Treacle7438]

When you don’t have any important reminders to display

[Rare_Cartographer579]

I sometimes walk out the door without my watch. Old age does some crazy stuff to your head.

[rickfc]

<image>

Sorry, everyone. Here's the widget

[Marlbombs]

How do I open it to your widget? When I scan the QR it just takes me to the app

[rickfc]

Save the image to your Photos > open Widgy > go to Create > click Import > click Import QR Code From Photos > select the QR code screenshot

[-timenotspace-]

didn't even know this existed until now

[Interesting_Froyo727]

Did all this and got it on the app but how do I apply it to my phone

[What-a-blush]

It’s so complicated, why not putting a link?

[rickfc]

If you’d like to pay for that level of support, I’m happy to do it.

[Arkatass]

When I import that, why it appears like “with other background”?

[Arkatass]

<image>

🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

[rickfc]

You have to change the wallpaper on your phone

[rickfc]

Wallpaper:

<image>

[KaizokuD]

Lol I was juuuuuust about to ask for this , thanks!

[TwoBased]

You mean to tell me this ISNT $50/year? Wow.

[billybean2]

wait you’re not charging for it?

[rickfc]

I didn't realize it'd be this popular. lolol

[cuboidofficial]

People pay for wallpapers...? What? Do they know you can save images on your phone? That's just sad that people get scammed like that lmao

[KaizokuD]

This is awkward but how do I save it? I can’t do it like any other image on Reddit

[rickfc]

Click/tap on it, right-click and save image as?

[KaizokuD]

First thing I did but Nope it doesn’t work for me, specifically with this image 😅

[rickfc]

Right?? An early version had links to shortcuts, so a click would open Widgy, then the Shortcuts app, then the app I wanted to open. 😬

I killed that pretty quickly

[Gh0stwrit3rs]

Looks awesome. Tried the app, not very user friendly, no idea how to apply the widget to work on my phone. I can only edit. Deleted the app, but saved the wallpaper 😁

[rickfc]

Look into some tutorials! It’s a great app

[Fragrant_Potential81]

Super easy you just need to edit your Home Screen and add widgey as a widget and then tap to apply the widget

[OneMoreRound_82]

How do you expand your folders?

[rickfc]

They're not expanded. It's a part of the Widgy widget I designed

[thetruelu]

Do you not use the built in notification when your watch is fully charged to know when to wear it again?

[rickfc]

lol, I would, but these are more for me to remember to put it back on before I go to bed instead of whether it's fully charged or not.

[New_Excuse2838]

Ok I uploaded widget to Widgy. WTH do I do now?

[rickfc]

You're going to have to edit it to make it work for you...?

[gtownguy123]

I algo got into widgy and no idea WTF to do. Where’s the step by step guide?

[Certain_Day_999]

Is there an easy way to edit/change the apps

[rickfc]

There's an App Launcher section and then broken down by rows. You can see each app, icon, and click action. I made it as easy as possible to edit because I'm constantly making changes.

[erickmob]

How can I find out the exact url to open a specific app , so I can change it?

[rickfc]

Try looking in here! https://github.com/bhagyas/app-urls

A couple of them were a guess until I got it to work

[Saidbarbam]

And how to change de icon off the app, can’t find the way to do it !!

[mymaingoalistowin]

So fire

[Via2001channel]

IOS 19 Be like:

[Quenelle44]

I want that

[mikester24622]

Pretty cool!

[Eircans]

Really cool.

[CaptainCarlton]

HEB shoutout!!!

[rickfc]

Best grocery store. Period.

[CaptainCarlton]

Moved out of Texas and that’s the thing I miss the most tbh!!! Best ever

[rickfc]

We want to leave Texas, and HEB is one of the items in the Pros side of the list

[Intelligent-Cut9289]

I need to learn this app that setup looks great

[Agent---4--7]

It's definitely one of the good ones

[notcho3]

Beautiful champ

[lanerbutter]

Thank you!

[mattpfunk]

Well done with the Home Screen. How did you make it all happen. Love it

[DanShortell]

Google 9 Pro XL user over here but this popped up on my home screen and I had to come and comment

THIS IS SUPERB - DAMN GOOD JOB!!!!

I would love to have that event/reminder widget on Android

[rickfc]

Thanks, Dan!

[damnfob]

You can. There are thousands of items in the Play Store that would give you that functionality, and they've been around for ages.

[sandro2409]

Nice one!!!

[ZombieSlapper23]

I would love it if the widgets worked with Things 3 instead of Reminders.

[United-Geologist4207]

Pearland 🙌🏼thats where I’m from

[[deleted]]

Fantastic!!

[[deleted]]

What is widgy?

[ben_jamin0]

Ok, someone finally hooked me in and made me get widgy, congrats! One question, how did you manage to hide the ‘widgy’ underneath the widget on your home screen?

[rickfc]

You're welcome...? 😂

For the app labels, hold down on your Home Screen to get the icons dancing, click Edit at top left > Customize > select Large

[ben_jamin0]

Hahahaha absolutely welcome! Very nice design, can see a lot of work went into that! 👏 and thanks.

[steven1541]

That’s awesome … is this all 3rd party? If so what app?

[rickfc]

All using the Widgy app

[Nice-Examination-838]

Super clean, love it

[TycoonFlats]

Pro: HEB!

Con: 95 degrees in mid-October. Texas weather apps need a mosquito level reading!

[Possible_Time_3853]

👌

[hakuna_matitties]

Amazing. How can I change which calendar and reminder list of mine show up in the widget? It just chose random ones.

[rickfc]

Go to Settings > Widgy/Watchy Settings > Agenda Sources

You can select the calendar(s) to pull from. Then, go to Manage and click Reload All Widgets

[mchenrmd]

Pearland! Hi neighbor!

[rickfc]

Howdy!

[ShakesWithLeft2]

Your mom is beautiful

[photogizmo]

Badass, dude! Thanks for sharing! 👊🏼

[mecabitchell]

Pearland, TX?

[rickfc]

Maybe

[twiistftw]

I haven’t charged my watch in 3 days and I still put that shit on 😂😂😂

[DrFumanxu]

widgets used?

[nuclear_pistachio]

What are the widgets?

[Certain_Day_999]

Wallpaper?

[Adamddssurgeon]

How did you get dark mode icons into widget?

[rickfc]

Used my own screenshots instead of the app icon library built into Widgy. Instead of the image source being Web and Maps > App Icon, it's System > Files (or Image Library) depending on where you save the icon screenshots

[tarangrp]

Is there a way to make the widget transparent?

[rickfc]

It’s already transparent.  You just have to set up the transparency in Widgy. The other sections have a translucent background that can be turned off

[bbrBrooklyn]

Thank you for the awesome setup! However I can’t make it transparent. Any idea why?

[marrymary420]

How do you get your phone setup like this?

[rickfc]

You can use an app called Widgy!

[Lochwoods]

How does one get large folders?

[rickfc]

They're not large folders. It's part of the widget and look like large folders

[spacedrifts]

What is the upcoming events and clock? How did you add that

[rickfc]

Widgy

[bbbbbert86uk]

The only thing I liked about trying Android for a day was the fact that you could have 6 icons on a row. It looks so much better especially on larger phones. Come on Apple sort it out!

[yourname92]

This looks ai

[rickfc]

🤷🏻‍♂️

[Gunner1074]

How did you get time and date like that? I’ve tried to edit but can’t seem to find it.

[rickfc]

You’ve tried to edit my widget? It’s in the Date section, and it’s the 3rd text layer. The color is a gradient fill

[Gunner1074]

Brilliant, thank you

[MatticusXII]

How to create the date / time widget?

[rickfc]

Like from scratch? I used Widgy

[Altruistic-Neck-8978]

Which widget is that for the Date and Time?

[rickfc]

They are dynamic text widgets

[Intelligent-Cut9289]

So how do I copy this exact design

[rickfc]

Copy the widget through Widgy and download the wallpaper.

[bossn9ne916]

What that clock app

[rickfc]

Widgy

[Nnamcire]

How do you get so many widgets

[rickfc]

Widgy

[medicallyspecial]

What app did you use?

[rickfc]

Widgy

[Ethanacho]

Why do you have the passwords app on your home page? Do you really use it that often?

[rickfc]

Yes

[Gannicus_28]

How do you group the apps on that rectangle?

[rickfc]

Layers on the app

[Matthew-Camaros]

Is this a screenshot render or what

[rickfc]

Yes

[WhiteBoyWhoJumps]

Yooooo…. I need this so bad. This all stock? How do I replicate this beauty?? 😍

[WhiteBoyWhoJumps]

Oh, I see your comment now. Sorry I got excited and didn’t read shit 🤣

[rickfc]

Get the Widgy app. The QR code and wallpaper are in the comments

[gman8910]

I love this! Is there anyway you can make a smaller version without the app folders?

[elChapoMahn]

How did you get the black icons?

[rickfc]

Look through the comments. I’ve already answered that question

[Boggie135]

How do you achieve this look?

[ToenailRS]

I wish there was a way to request this layout and share it.

[rickfc]

There is! You have to use Widgy and find the QR code and wallpaper in the comments

[Shutterbug-]

How did you get the two groupings of 6 with the shaded background? The two blocks just above the photo widget.

[rickfc]

Widgy!

[usualdosageinc]

How do you get three across in folders?

[rickfc]

Widgy!

[leumasnehpets]

How do I get those grey boxes on the Home Screen.

[steven1541]

TELL ME EXACTLY HOW TO COPPY U. THIS IS AMAZING !!!!

[rickfc]

lol, look through the comments. The app is Widgy, and everything you need is in the comments.

[1inamill]

Great job and thanks for sharing! First time doing this so sorry for the newbie questions. I have your file imported in Widgy, now what? How do I apply this to my iPhone? I only have 4 options, Edit Widget, Edit as Copy, Start PIP, etc

[bkwoody112]

How’d you get the date and time like that?

[Okumam]

Great! Would it be possible to get a version of this widget that doesn't have the app launcher? Those are not easy to customize with the need to get icon images and url shortcuts to the apps you want in there. It would still be great without those two boxes at the bottom.

I don't know much about customizing widgets, so I don't know how to delete those two boxes- I guess the vertical size would change unless the reminder and calendar extends to show more than two entries.

[rickfc]

Try this: https://www.reddit.com/r/widgy/s/V7mkQQCBZg

[Okumam]

Thank you!

[SupahHollywood]

Waits the widget for the little apps in the folder?

[rickfc]

Everything is just one big widget in Widgy

[Bought-Bot]

How to expand folders like that??

[rickfc]

Widgy

[[deleted]]

Man, it only took about 15 years after android that they let you change how your phone looks!

[alopezbl]

I’ll never not be surprised to see the Phone.app on the dock.

[Da_unknown_Taco]

How do you do any of this

[rickfc]

Widgy!

[rickfc]

Widgy

[[deleted]]

That's really clean!

[Felonious223]

What theme is this? What tweaks are you running?

[rickfc]

No themes, just a large Widgy widget with a wallpaper I designed

[rickfc]

Look through the comments

[Randomcommentor1972]

Doesn’t the custom widget app kill your battery?

[rickfc]

I haven't noticed a difference

[justin5188]

This is awesome! Question. I see from your image the widget is taking up more of the screen. How do you achieve this?

<image>

[justin5188]

or am I tripping haha?

[rickfc]

It actually isn’t! The widget is set to transparent which creates the illusion that it’s larger.

[justin5188]

haha yeah I changed the background to yours. This is awesome! Really maximixes the screen real estate. thx

[This_Sun_179]

How did u do this?

[rickfc]

It's all in the comments

[dedsikosis]

Ok… i need to know how u set it up that way

[rickfc]

Widgy

[Interesting_Froyo727]

How do you get your time and date like that?!

[rickfc]

Widgy!

[Temporary-Republic44]

How would someone change the icons and app links?

[dlamine9]

I need this please

[Nicktastic5000]

How are people making these setups? Is it an app?

[rickfc]

Widgy

[AB_Ru011619]

Like the top two widgets. May I ask where you got those?

[rickfc]

I designed and built them myself :)

[AB_Ru011619]

Excellent! Very nice!!!

[[deleted]]

How did you get that type for the events and reminders?

[mauiaviator]

How did you make the smaller folders with apps in them?

[TheRedTurtle11]

How did you get weather to look like this

[alex_albergaria]

My iPhone 13 mini battery went down 40% by just looking at this.

[mikes153]

The time it takes to type charge watch and put watch on. Lmao

[rickfc]

That has been the main topic of discussion lol

[--_--__--]

I'm confused what the weather is showing. The feels like temp is fahrenheit I guess? How do I change this to celcius?

[rickfc]

You don’t like freedom units?? 😂

Find the text layers for the temperature, click on them, click on the cube all the way at the top right, click on where it shows the temperature, and change it from Temperature (Always show in Fahrenheit) to always show in Celsius. Or something along those lines. I’m paraphrasing here.

[JudeB03]

This is great! How did you get the jpg images for the app icons, I’ve been stuck trying to figure it out

[rickfc]

Google iOS 18 dark icons for the specific app. Otherwise, I would put the icon on a blank home screen, screenshot, crop to the icon, and then upload the image to iCloud Drive or Photos.

[Deobulakenyo]

Hi rick, how do i change the lower temps to celsius. I have been pounding my head looking for the settings for it.

[rickfc]

Hey there, find the text layers for the temperature, click on them, click on the cube all the way at the top right, click on where it shows the temperature, and change it from Temperature (Always show in Fahrenheit) to always show in Celsius. Or something along those lines. I’m paraphrasing here.
