Put signups today on your iPhone Home Screen

Short answer: send your signups today 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.

New signups are the heartbeat of an early product, and seeing them tick up is genuinely motivating. A nightly or hourly query against your users table gives you the count and the delta versus yesterday. Push both and the widget becomes a tiny growth chart you glance at without thinking.

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 signups today like this:

curl -X PUT https://api.widgetdash.app/api/v1/data/signups_today \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_WRITE_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "display_name": "Signups Today",
    "icon": "person.crop.circle.badge.plus",
    "category": "Growth",
    "metrics": [
      { "label": "Today", "value": "37" },
      { "label": "vs yesterday", "value": "+9" }
    ]
  }'

• 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 person.crop.circle.badge.plus.
• 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 signups today can sit right under the clock.
