What is Widgeta?
Widgeta is an iPhone and iPad app for turning values from JSON endpoints into configurable WidgetKit widgets. It is focused on small, useful pieces of live data rather than full dashboards.
Does Widgeta work with CarPlay?
Widgeta designs the small WidgetKit surface to work well in the CarPlay widget stack where available. It is not a separate standalone CarPlay template app.
Do I need to write code?
You need a JSON endpoint, but you do not need to write an iOS widget extension. In Widgeta, you add the URL, test the response, pick JSON paths, and choose a widget layout.
Which JSON path syntax is supported?
Widgeta supports dot notation for nested values, such as weather.current.temperature, and bracket notation for arrays or special keys, such as items[0].price or ["current-value"].
Can it read private or authenticated APIs?
Yes, with Pro you can add custom HTTP headers to a data source. HTTPS is expected for internet endpoints. Plain HTTP is limited to local or private-network hosts.
How often do widgets refresh?
The free plan uses a 15-minute refresh interval, and Pro unlocks custom intervals. Because this is WidgetKit, iOS still controls exact refresh timing and may not call the provider at the exact minute.
What happens if the JSON request fails?
The app stores cached metric values and records errors. When a refresh fails, the affected value can show a fallback or an unavailable state instead of crashing the widget.
What can I put on a widget?
Any JSON leaf value that fits a glanceable widget: numbers, short text, status values, progress ranges, colors, SF Symbols, or HTTPS image URLs.
