DeskGlow: StandBy Widgets

Design StandBy-ready widgets in minutes: big clocks, countdowns that repeat on their own, a calendar that marks busy days, and photo frames. No ads, no subscription.

Turn your Home Screen and StandBy into a desk you designed yourself.

DeskGlow makes widgets that are easy to read from across the room: large clocks, countdowns, calendars and photo frames, in your colors and fonts. What you see in the editor is exactly what lands on your Home Screen.

CLOCK • Digital, flip, analog or minimal analog • 12- or 24-hour time, whatever your system setting is

COUNTDOWN • Count down to any date • Repeats every day, week or year on its own — birthdays and anniversaries never need resetting • Daily countdowns show a live timer • Show it as a number, a ring that fills up, or big type with hours and minutes • Count up from a date (days together, days without smoking), in days, weeks, months or years • Repeat on a lunar date for lunar birthdays and Lunar New Year • Follow a calendar event, even when it's rescheduled

CALENDAR • Today's date in large type, this week, or the whole month • A dot marks every day that has events • Up Next lists your next events • Lunar dates and festivals • Calendar access is read-only and never leaves your iPhone

PHOTO • Pick photos and the widget shows a different one every hour • Full-bleed, or framed with a caption and the date it was taken • Change photos every 15 minutes, hour or day, in order or shuffled

THREE SIZES • Small, medium and large, including a full-month calendar with lunar dates • No photo library access needed

YOUR COLORS • Ten ready-made color presets, or pick any colors and fonts yourself

MADE FOR STANDBY • Big, high-contrast layouts for your nightstand or desk • Free night mode switches to dim red from 10 PM to 6 AM

TAP TO DO MORE • Make any widget open a link or run a shortcut

WORKS ON EVERY IPHONE DeskGlow works on every iPhone that runs iOS 17 or later. On iPhone Duo's large inner screen, the editor shows your widget list and a live preview side by side.
