A collection of JavaScript scripts for creating custom iOS home screen widgets using the Scriptable app.
iOS-Widgets is a collection of JavaScript scripts that work with the Scriptable app to create custom iOS home screen widgets. It solves the limitation of Apple's native widget options by allowing users to build personalized widgets displaying various data sources. The scripts are designed to be easily installed and modified without requiring full iOS app development.
iOS users who want to customize their home screens with widgets beyond Apple's default options, particularly those comfortable with basic JavaScript or willing to use pre-built scripts.
Developers choose iOS-Widgets because it provides ready-to-use widget scripts that work immediately with the popular Scriptable app, eliminating the need to build widgets from scratch. The integration with Widget Hub makes installation exceptionally simple compared to manual script setup.

Integration with Widget Hub allows for a simple tap-and-add process, as demonstrated in the README's GIF, making setup quick and user-friendly.
Leverages the popular Scriptable app to enable widget creation without Xcode or native iOS development skills, lowering the barrier to entry.
Widgets are built as JavaScript scripts, so users with basic coding knowledge can modify data sources or visual styles, as highlighted in the README's emphasis on customization.
Users can submit widget ideas via GitHub Issues, fostering collaboration, though the README notes there's no guarantee of implementation.
Requires the Scriptable app to be installed and maintained, adding an extra dependency that can break if the app changes or becomes unsupported.
Exclusively works on iOS devices with Scriptable, excluding Android, web, or other platforms, as stated in the project's focus on iOS home screens.
The README explicitly warns that submitted widget ideas may not be realized, leading to unpredictability in development and potential stagnation.
