iOS-style analog clock widget

What an iOS-style analog clock widget shows

An analog clock reads as a shape rather than as numbers, which makes it the most decorative way to show the time. WidgetCraft has a dedicated analog layer where the dial, markers and each hand can be styled separately.

It uses the phone's clock, needs no permission and works offline. A 2 × 2 space is enough.

How the iOS-style style shapes it

This style follows the widgets people know from iPhones: white or dark rounded cards, a small colored title, a large bold number and tidy lists. It is a look, not an official Apple design.

• Bars and rings: Use thick rings with rounded ends in one bright color.
• Numbers: Use a heavy sans for the main number and a grey caption beside it.

How to make an iOS-style analog clock widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #FFFFFF and the corner radius to 26.
2. Tap Add and choose Analog. Size it to fill the canvas with a margin of about 28.
3. Open the clock details and set the dial to #F2F2F7 with a 4-point ring in #000000.
4. Set twelve markers: quarter-hours thicker in #000000, the rest thinner in #8E8E93.
5. Style the hour hand (short, width 6) and minute hand (long, width 3.5) in #000000, turn the second hand off and color the center cap #FF3B30.
6. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Everything in this recipe works in the free version.

Tips for iOS-style analog clock widgets

• Keep the card white and the radius around 26.
• Use one bright color per widget as the title color.
• Keep the hour hand clearly shorter and thicker than the minute hand.
• Twelve markers are easier to read than sixty; add numerals only at 12, 3, 6 and 9 if at all.
• Leave the second hand off: launchers refresh widgets about once a minute.
• Do not copy Apple artwork or icons.
• Do not shrink margins below 16 points.
