Keep your churn rate on your Home Screen

Short answer: send your churn rate 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.

Churn is the metric founders avoid looking at, which is exactly why it should be unavoidable. Compute the percentage of customers lost this period and the raw cancel count, then push both. Having it on your Home Screen turns a number you dread into one you actually manage.

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 churn rate like this:

curl -X PUT https://api.widgetdash.app/api/v1/data/churn_rate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_WRITE_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "display_name": "Churn Rate",
    "icon": "arrow.down.right.circle.fill",
    "category": "Retention",
    "metrics": [
      { "label": "Monthly", "value": "3.1%" },
      { "label": "Cancels", "value": "12" }
    ]
  }'

• 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.right.circle.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 churn rate can sit right under the clock.
