Home Screen ideas

A number that stays fresh on its own

Getting the latest number means pulling to refresh inside an app you had to open first.

See the whole app

Today, getting the latest number means being in the app and pulling down to refresh — a move you have to remember, inside something you have to open first. The number only updates when you go poke it. A Home Screen widget flips that around: it refreshes itself through the day in the background, so the number is already current when you glance at it. There’s no gesture to remember and no app to open first. The freshest number is the one you didn’t have to ask for.

How Air Widgets shows it

Here’s the rest of what Air Widgets does.

Airtable, and Air Widgets at a glance.

Airtable’s charts, numbers, and dashboards are genuinely good — you just open the app to see them. Air Widgets brings the figures you check all day out to your Home Screen, current on their own and ready to tap open.
