Khaberni - iPhone phones have seen a major development in customization features since the launch of iOS 14, as widgets have become a basic way to quickly access information without the need to open apps.
However, many users are still unaware of smart tools that can significantly improve productivity and simplify daily usage.
In this report, we review four special tools that you may not know about, but that could change your experience with the phone.
Enhancing Productivity and Focus
One of the standout tools is the FocusPomo app for time management, which allows users to work for 25 continuous minutes followed by a short break.
The app is notable for its ability to start the timer directly from the home screen via a widget, reducing distractions and enhancing focus.
The Forest app offers a different experience by turning productivity into a game, where the user plants a virtual tree that grows as long as they refrain from using the phone, and if distracted, the tree withers, creating a psychological incentive to focus.
Monitoring Devices and Energy
Apple's built-in Batteries tool offers a practical solution for tracking the charge of multiple devices like headphones and smartwatches.
It allows displaying the battery percentage for all connected devices directly on the home screen, without the need to open any settings.
This tool comes in several sizes, providing the user with flexibility to display information according to their needs, whether in a brief or detailed manner.
Customizing the Screen
If you are looking for complete control over the design of your phone, the Widgy app allows creating fully custom widgets or using ready-made designs from the user community.
It also supports creating transparent widgets that blend with the screen background, providing the phone with a sleek, modern look.
Despite some limitations in the free version, the app opens the door to an unprecedented level of customization.
Integrated Music
Apple added the Ambient Music feature that provides calm music to help with focus or relaxation, and it can be played directly through a widget on the home screen.
The tool allows choosing different types of musical atmospheres or easily customizing playlists.
These tools confirm that widgets are no longer just aesthetic additions, but have become a fundamental element in enhancing user experience and increasing productivity.
As the development of iOS continues, it is expected that we will see more innovations that give users greater control over how they use their phone.
