Show your paid subscriptions on your iPhone

Short answer: send your paid subscriptions 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.

The count of customers actually paying you is a cleaner signal than raw signups, because it filters out tire-kickers. Query the rows where status equals active and push the number alongside the MRR it represents. The widget then tells you, at a glance, how many people chose to stay.

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 paid subscriptions like this:

curl -X PUT https://api.widgetdash.app/api/v1/data/paid_subscriptions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_WRITE_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "display_name": "Paid Subscriptions",
    "icon": "star.circle.fill",
    "category": "Growth",
    "metrics": [
      { "label": "Paid subs", "value": "842" },
      { "label": "MRR", "value": "$4,210" }
    ]
  }'

• 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 star.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 paid subscriptions can sit right under the clock.
