Spent the weekend redoing this. The big tile up top is the one I actually care about: next two classes, whether I have anything due, the weather line, and one row for anything urgent in my email. Everything under it is just kept quiet so that tile is the thing my eye lands on.

Wallpaper is a plain gradient I dimmed way down. Icons are stock, no theme pack, because I wanted the widget to be the loud thing and everything else to get out of its way. Font in the tile is just SF.

Happy to share what I used for any of it if people want.

You can type "my next three classes and today's weather, over a painted sunset behind mountains" and this is what it built - a real widget pulling my actual calendar, with the scene painted once when the widget is created. Not a stock wallpaper, it paints whatever you describe.

Full disclosure, I made the app - it's called Facet, on the App Store, 2 widgets free: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/facet-ai-widget-maker/id6792223571

It'll paint pretty much any style - I've done a receipt, a newspaper front page, a terminal, a snowy village. Happy to make one for anyone's setup idea in the comments.

Facet hit the App Store this morning, after four rounds of App Review rejections.

You type what you want. "My next three classes and today's weather, over a hand-painted sunset behind mountains." The AI writes the layout, picks the data sources, paints the background, and you get a real WidgetKit widget on your home screen.

It can pull from calendar, reminders, weather, location, Apple Health, stocks and crypto, RSS, your bank through Plaid, and Gmail / Google Calendar / Notion through a one-tap connect. There's a raw REST and GraphQL connector too, so anything that returns JSON can go on your home screen.

Happy to answer anything about the build or the review gauntlet. Demo video is in the comments.

Hi guys, I'm a new developer, and Facet hit the App Store this morning after four rounds of App Review rejections.

You type what you want. "My next 3 calendar events and today's high," or "AAPL and BTC with the change since yesterday's close." The AI writes the layout and theme, picks the data sources, and you get a real WidgetKit widget on your home screen.

The decision I thought hardest about: data widgets refresh on a schedule for free, since a refresh is just a fetch with no model call. Paying gets you AI-written text, like a morning summary of your day that rewrites itself daily. Free is 2 widgets. Pro is $6.99/mo or $49.99/yr.
