Designing your own widget with Ringzi
Ringzi lets you design countdown, clock, world clock, date and photo widgets in your own style, in Small, Medium and Large. Clocks and countdowns stay live while you're on Ringzi, and your design is saved to My Ringzis.
Live Home Screen widgets are coming with the Ringzi mobile app. Websites can't install widgets on iPhone, so we'll never pretend they can.
Counting down to something? Make a countdown widget.
Troubleshooting
- An app's widget isn't in the list
- Open the app once after installing it, then check again. Not every app offers widgets.
- I can't move a widget
- Touch and hold until it jiggles, then drag. Widgets snap to the app grid.
