Widget Maker: Tile Kit

Widget maker Tile Kit keeps your home screen designs ready to edit, duplicate and place again. Save a design in your library and use it for several widgets; saving an edit refreshes its linked widgets. Combine a countdown with a checklist you can tick on the home screen.

▶ SAVED DESIGNS, LINKED WIDGETS
• Keep your work in Designs, then open a saved tile to change its name, colours, size or blocks.
• Place a design more than once. Edit it in the library and save to refresh the widgets linked to it.
• Duplicate a design to make a separate version without changing the original.
• Export a design as a .tilekit file, import designs or make a library backup that includes referenced photos.
• Use Placed to see linked widgets, edit their designs or choose a design for an unlinked widget.

▶ CHECKLISTS WITH COUNTDOWNS
• Tick checklist items on a placed widget without opening the editor. Each widget keeps its own checkmarks, even when several share a design.
• Keep checked items, or reset them on the next use after midnight.
• Add a Countdown block for days or hours remaining, or days elapsed since a date. The display changes to Today when appropriate.
• Pick a target date from the calendar or use Today, Yesterday, In 7 days or In 30 days.

▶ BUILD A TILE FROM BLOCKS
• Arrange Text, Date, Countdown, Photo, Checklist and Battery blocks in rows. Move rows up or down and combine up to three blocks in a row.
• Choose a 2 × 1, 2 × 2, 4 × 2 or 4 × 4 design size, background colour, text colour and Sans, Serif or Monospace.
• See your layout in the Editing preview as you change it.
• Give a block a Tap action: Open this design, Open an app from the available list, Open link or No action. New blocks start with No action. Checklist items retain their tick action.
• Start with six editable templates, including a trip countdown, a daily checklist and a focus note.

▶ GOOD TO KNOW
• The preview approximates launcher size. Placement and resizing depend on your launcher.
• Updates happen periodically and may be delayed to save battery. Tap the widget background to refresh. Date blocks display dates.
• A design holds up to twelve rows. A checklist stores up to 100 items; at most eight fit on a widget, with fewer in small spaces. Extra items show a more link to open the design.
• Selected photos are copied and resized to a maximum edge of 600 pixels. Designs and photos are stored by the app; usage analytics, crash reporting and advertising services are included.
• Exports and backups are created in the app. Copies you share or save elsewhere stay where you put them. Keep the manifest and all parts together, and add placed widgets again after restoring.
