Import and use your widget

From the configurator to your Home Screen.

1. 1

   Install Widgy

   Get the Widgy app from the App Store and open it once.

2. 2

   Download your widget

   In the configurator, tap “Download .widgy”. Safari asks to download the file: confirm.

3. 3

   Open the file in Widgy

   Tap the download icon in Safari (or open Files → Downloads) and tap the .widgy file: it opens in Widgy. You can also use Widgy → Create → Import → “Import .widgy File From Files”.

4. 4

   Put it in a slot

   In Widgy, go to the Manage tab, tap a slot of the same size as the widget (Small, Medium or Large) and choose the widget you imported.

5. 5

   Add it to the Home Screen

   Touch and hold the Home Screen, tap Edit → Add Widget, pick Widgy and the same size, and add it. Then touch and hold the new widget, tap Edit Widget and choose the slot.

Right after importing, give the widget a moment to fetch prices. Changed something in the configurator? Download again and import the new file: it replaces nothing by itself.

Transparent background

For the “No background” theme to blend in with your wallpaper.

1. 1

   Take a screenshot of an empty page

   Touch and hold the Home Screen until the icons jiggle, swipe to the empty page on the far right and take a screenshot.

2. 2

   Set up transparency in Widgy

   In Widgy, open the Manage tab and tap “Setup Transparency”. Add the screenshot and tap ✓. Optionally, add a second screenshot taken in Dark Mode.

3. 3

   Use the No background theme

   In the configurator, choose the “No background” theme, download again and import the new file.

Changed your wallpaper? Repeat steps 1 and 2.

Questions

Is Widgy free?

Widgy is free to download. The free version has a limited number of widget slots: to use more widgets at the same time, Widgy offers in-app purchases.

My widget doesn't update

iOS decides when widgets refresh, usually every 15 to 60 minutes. Prices also depend on each source's delay (see the data sources on the home page).
