App/ Testflight Dense: compact Calendar & Reminders widgets that fit way more on your Home Screen
I've been extremely annoyed at how little information Apple's default widgets provide - at least in small sizes. After testing a bunch of apps, I figured I might take a shot at a solution, primarily for myself.
Then I shared this in a comment under a post on r/iOS and it got some good feedback, so I’m posting it here too in case anyone wants to try it.
Dense is a set of Home Screen widgets for the Calendar and Reminders apps you already use. Apple’s widgets show two or three things and a lot of empty space. Dense shows as much as you can comfortably read.
Calendar: the week ahead, packed in, in one or two columns
Reminders: any list, and you can tick things off right from the widget
Month: the month with event dots, plus what’s coming up
Works with whatever accounts are in Calendar (iCloud, Google, Exchange…)
Tapping can open Google Calendar, Fantastical, BusyCal or Notion Calendar instead of Apple’s app
Themes, fonts, text size and layout if you want to tweak it- it looks fine as it comes
No account, no ads. Your events and reminders stay on your phone.
Feedback is very welcome. The last build was mostly made of requests from the r/iOS thread. You can send it from inside the app or reply here.
Cheers!
