Track active trials from your Home Screen

Short answer: send your active trials to WidgetDash with one HTTP request, then add the WidgetDash widget to your iPhone Home Screen or Lock Screen. It updates every time you push a new value, and it is free for up to 5 numbers.

Trials in flight are future revenue, so knowing how many are open keeps your pipeline real. Count the users still inside the trial window and pair it with your recent conversion rate. The widget becomes a small forecast you can act on before the trials expire.

Push it with one request

A source is created automatically the first time you push to it, so there is no setup step. Send your active trials like this:

curl -X PUT https://api.widgetdash.app/api/v1/data/active_trials \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_WRITE_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "display_name": "Active Trials",
    "icon": "hourglass.circle.fill",
    "category": "Growth",
    "metrics": [
      { "label": "On trial", "value": "58" },
      { "label": "Convert", "value": "24%" }
    ]
  }'
Works with any stack and any service. WidgetDash never connects to your systems. You compute the number and push the final value, so secrets like database or API keys never leave your machine.

Add it to your iPhone

  1. Sign up free and copy your WRITE key from the dashboard.
  2. Install the WidgetDash iOS app (free on the App Store) and connect with the dashboard QR code or your READ key.
  3. Long-press the Home Screen, tap +, search WidgetDash, pick a size, then choose this source.

Small Lock Screen widgets are supported too, so your active trials can sit right under the clock.

Questions

What is the conversion metric?

Whatever ratio you track, for example trials that became paid over the last cohort. You push the percentage you already calculate.

How fresh is the trial count?

As fresh as your schedule. A push every hour keeps it accurate for most products.
