Transcript
Your home screen is boring. These five widgets fix that. Waterminder, a widget where you can track and log your water intake without opening the app. Wikipedia, for people who like history, this widget shows a little blurb of what happened today in history. Cosmos, interesting visuals for creatives who are inspired by a wide variety of art forms. No, a widget that shows live webcams of your favorite ski resort. Finch, an animated bird that goes on adventures and reminds you to self care. I rest my case.
