Join the waitlist and we'll email you as soon as your spot opens. Is it iPhone only?+ iPhone first. Android and macOS widgets are on the roadmap once iOS is stable. Can I connect my own data?+ Yes — we ship first-party connectors for weather, stocks, crypto, air quality, world clocks, GitHub, and RSS feeds, and you can wire up any HTTP API yourself. More sources are coming soon, and we're always listening for suggestions on what to add next. What does it cost?+ Free to try. Pro unlocks unlimited widgets, custom APIs, and faster AI. Final pricing is set at launch. Does it work offline?+ The widget itself renders offline once installed; editing requires a connection because the AI runs server-side.
