I made a dynamic widget that brings a new flower to your Home Screen and Lock Screen every single day!
Hey everyone!
A few months ago, a few friends and I launched Flora, an iOS app born from a simple idea: bringing a little piece of nature to our daily digital life.
The core of the app is its dynamic Home & Lock Screen widgets. Every single morning, the widget automatically updates to reveal a new flower of the day, showing its common name, Latin name, a fun fact, and a short, beautifully written story. Once the day ends, that flower disappears.
We wanted to create something peaceful and non-intrusive, so the app has zero ads, no tracking, and requires no account.
Since the launch, we've been blown away by the community feedback (currently sitting at a 4.9 rating with 1,000+ downloads in three months).
One user recently reviewed it saying it's a "breath of freshness... giving little petals of joy everyday", and another said they'll keep the widget on their lock screen "until the end of time", which absolutely made our day as indie devs :).
We're continuously maintaining it and keeping the botanical library growing. I'd love to hear what you think of the widget design or if there are any specific styles you'd like to see!
