Create a Widget

Build a dynamic home screen widget manually — name it, publish it, pick a layout, then upload your first content.

1. 1. Start create — Tap + and choose Widget. Enter a name and pick a size: Small, Medium, Large, or Extra Large.
2. 2. Publish options — Optionally make the widget public, add a category and description, and set a custom URL like glance.cool/your-name (Pro).
3. 3. Discover visibility — Show in Discover is on by default. Turn it off to keep the widget out of search while still sharing via link.
4. 4. Choose a layout — Pick one that matches your widget size, create a new layout, or skip and attach one later. See Layouts.
5. 5. Upload content — Fill in the fields defined by your layout (text, numbers, URLs, dates, and more). See Upload Content.
6. 6. Pin to home screen — Follow Pin to Home Screen to add the widget on iOS.

Extra Large appears on iOS 27 and newer. Creating that size needs Pro or Power. A free account that selects it and taps Next gets the paywall and stays on the size step. On an older iOS the carousel stays Small, Medium, and Large.
