Put your App Store downloads on your iPhone

Short answer: send your App Store downloads 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.

If you ship an app, daily installs are the pulse of every launch and feature you push. Pull the number from your App Store Connect reporting in a scheduled job and send the day's count and the running total. The widget keeps the trajectory in front of you without another portal to log into.

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 App Store downloads like this:

curl -X PUT https://api.widgetdash.app/api/v1/data/app_downloads \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_WRITE_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "display_name": "Downloads",
    "icon": "arrow.down.app.fill",
    "category": "Growth",
    "metrics": [
      { "label": "Today", "value": "412" },
      { "label": "Total", "value": "84,910" }
    ]
  }'

• The value is a plain string, so format it however reads best: "$8,420", "99.98%", "+58".
• icon is an SF Symbol name. Here we use arrow.down.app.fill.
• Push to the same source_key again any time and the widget updates in place.

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 App Store downloads can sit right under the clock.
