SuperWidget

SuperWidget is a utility that lets you build custom widgets using data from Apple’s Shortcuts app or third-party APIs. What makes SuperWidget particularly interesting is how it bridges the gap between Shortcuts automation and data sources from external APIs; you could, for instance, create a widget that displays your website’s visitor count, your smart home’s current temperature, or any other data accessible through a REST API. I’ve always wished that Apple would allow me to design custom widgets powered by Shortcuts data, and this is an interesting third-party take on the idea that reminds me of designing a custom dashboard for the TRMNL as well as Panic’s old Status Board app.
