About this app
BUILT ON A DESIGN PHILOSOPHY Timedash Widgets was born from our love of 70s Ana Digi watches. Half analog, half digital, these cult classics laid the groundwork for every digital watch that followed. With bold graphics, deliberate typography, and a retro-futurist character Timedash channels that same spirit of analog-digital fusion into widgets for your iPhone, iPad, and Mac. SNAP TOGETHER YOUR PERFECT WIDGET Think of Timedash like LEGO for your Home Screen. The power is in its design flexibility. Every widget is built from components, such as clocks, weather, steps, date, calendar, countdown timers, world clocks, photos, and more. Mix and match them in any combination, swap data points without redesigning from scratch and change colors instantly. → Pick your components (time, date, weather, activity & health, photos, and more). → Set your favorite colors.

App details
What you can learn from Timedash Widgets
Every shipping app on the App Store has gone through the same decisions you're working through right now: which screenshot goes first, what caption sits over it, which device frame to show, what color the background should be. The 6 screenshots above are Timedash Widgets's answers to those questions — they're public, they're real, and they made it through Apple's review.
What the numbers say: Timedash Widgets runs a mixed light-and-dark set where the background shifts from screenshot to screenshot (first shot #7C7C7C) — each image has to stand on its own, so the captions carry more of the story. The accent colour we picked up, #E4AC1C, is the one to reuse for badges, arrows and highlighted words if you borrow this look. Hit Use this style to open the editor with these exact colours and drop your own screenshot in.
Notice the first screenshot in particular. It's the one users see in search results and on the product page, and it's where most apps spend their best caption and tightest design. Look at the proportion of background to phone, where the text sits, what one thing the image is trying to communicate.
