Build your own CUSTOM iOS widgets directly on your iPad or iPhone

Learn how to build sophisticated custom widgets directly on your iPad or iPhone using the JavaScript programming language inside Scriptable.

In this video, we'll build four complete widgets, a simple Hello World example, an XKCD comics widget, a trash collection reminder widget and a PiHole monitoring widget.

You'll learn a little JavaScript along the way and we'll explore how to:

  • layout text, icons and images
  • pull data from the Internet
  • interact with iOS services like Calendar
  • control widget refresh
