What first or third-party iOS widgets do you find especially useful?

Are there any that you're already thinking about using on Mac with Sonoma's continuity feature?

I don’t use many. I had the weather on there but was worried about battery life. I have fantastical, my bank, sports scores, and batteries. Should actually add a few more.

The photos “For You” widget is probably my favorite but I need to check out what’s available these days

Launcher is my boy, and pretty much the only widget I use.

@tojikomori I’ve got a boring answer but it’s wonderful to have the calendar widget front and center showing what’s coming up for the day

I probably use more than most but Activity, Photos Calendar and Weather app have prominent placements for me. On the little hidden drawer to the left of home, I keep my “reader” and utility widgets like News and Shortcuts. I don’t use any in my Lock Screen because I like the depth effect too much.

In one stack I have: Weather, Google Calendar, HattiWatti (electricity price monitoring app in Finland)

I have the 4x4 stock calendar widget on my first Home Screen to quickly scan my day in the morning.

The widget I use most often is probably the dense 4x2 Carrot Weather one: it's split down the middle between hourly and daily forecasts, which is helpful for quick chore & dog-walking decisions, especially when deciding whether to put something off until tomorrow because it's too hot/cold/rainy.

This alone has me actually thinking about buying the Carrot weather app

I love the StrongLifts widget.
