Nine apps. One widget. One tap.
WhyNot puts a tiny app drawer on your Home Screen. Pick up to nine apps, choose a style, and every one of them launches with a single tap. No folders to open. Many apps launch straight from the widget, the rest pass through WhyNot for a moment, and the picker tells you which is which.
BUILD IT YOUR WAY
• Up to nine apps in the smallest widget size. One app or nine, the layout adapts.
• Light and Dark show the real app icons, as they look on a light or a dark Home Screen. Mono and Ghost are two quieter looks.
• Fill, or anchor the drawer to a corner for a folder-like cluster.
• Hold a tile and drag it to rearrange.
• More than 350 apps and growing. Tested by hand and improved with each update. Missing one? Ask for it from the picker and it goes on the list.
CLOCKS WITH CHARACTER
• Dial: a quiet analog clock inspired by classic industrial design. Small, medium, and a large desk clock with your week laid out underneath.
• Flip: a split-flap clock that rolls over on the minute.
• Every widget is built for light mode, dark mode, and the Clear look. Pin any widget to always light or always dark, whatever your phone is set to.
MADE TO BE LOOKED AT
Every widget is drawn by hand, with real shadows, real materials, and one light source. Nothing is a template. Nothing is a screenshot of something else.
PACKS (one-time purchases)
• Quartz: a desk clock from the nineties, in seven cases from olive to cream. A window for the date, the day or the temperature, numerals in figures or Roman. Tap to open Clock.
• Vinyl: your record on a turntable, drawn after the classic Braun deck. The album artwork is the label, the record turns while Apple Music plays, the arm lifts when it stops, and back, play and next work from the widget. Small is the platter, medium is the whole deck.
• Tally: a desk calculator from the seventies, on your Home Screen. Every key works. Small for quick sums, large for the whole instrument. Keeps the last result.
• Frontpage: your day as a newspaper front page, in the tall widget size that arrived with iOS 27. The next event is the headline, more events and your reminders run in columns, real headlines from a source you choose or your own feed fill the fold, and tomorrow's weather closes the page. Three newspaper typefaces, newsprint grain, pressed type.
• Console: your day at a glance. What is next and how long until it, the week ahead, and the sky, one tap apart on the widget. Every block opens Calendar or Weather directly.
• Golden: when the light will be good. Golden hour and blue hour for where you are, on one living sky where the sun rises and sets across your Home Screen. The time is lit by the light of the moment. Tap to open the Camera.
• WhyNot Pro: Scenes, your drawer set in a place, with the apps that belong there. Glass, the drawer on a frosted panel with your wallpaper showing through. Unlimited drawers, each widget showing a different one. Gradient backgrounds inspired by iPhone finishes or your own two colors.
Buy once, keep forever. No subscriptions.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
No account. No tracking. No analytics. Your drawers live on your phone and nowhere else. Console, Golden and Frontpage use your approximate location for Apple Weather and, if you allow it, the calendars and reminder lists you choose. A feed you add is fetched by your phone, not by us. Nothing about you ever reaches us.
