Question 1

How do I install a widget from Awesome Scriptable?

Accepted Answer

Copy the JavaScript code from the GitHub link, open the Scriptable app, create a new script, paste the code, and save it. Then, add it as a widget to your home screen—some scripts may require additional setup like API keys or configuration.

Question 2

Is Awesome Scriptable free to use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, all scripts listed are open-source and free, but you need the Scriptable app, which is a paid app on the iOS App Store. The directory itself is freely accessible on GitHub without any charges.

Question 3

Awesome Scriptable vs the official Scriptable community?

Accepted Answer

Awesome Scriptable is a curated list with visual previews and organized categories for quality discovery, while the official community (e.g., Reddit or GitHub topics) has more raw submissions but less filtering and structure.

Question 4

Do widgets in Awesome Scriptable work without an internet connection?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the widget. Static ones like countdowns or invisible backgrounds may work offline, but those fetching live data (e.g., stock prices or COVID stats) require an internet connection to update, as they rely on API calls.

Question 5

How often is Awesome Scriptable updated with new widgets?

Accepted Answer

Updates depend on community contributions and the maintainer's curation; the README shows active maintenance with recent additions, but there's no fixed schedule—users should monitor the GitHub repository for changes.

Question 6

Can I submit my own script to Awesome Scriptable?

Accepted Answer

Yes, since it's a GitHub repository, you can contribute by forking the repo and submitting a pull request with your script, ensuring it meets quality standards and includes a screenshot for review.
