Home Screen widgets
Your diary, a glance away.
iPhone and iPad diary widgets bring memories, a writing shortcut, your own image and text, or your recording rhythm to the Home Screen.

Keep a moment nearby
Random Entry and Photo Memory bring saved moments to the Home Screen; tap to open the entry. Write Entry opens the composer. All five widget types require Premium.
Add your widget
Choose the memory or action you want close by. For Custom Widget, prepare your image and optional text in DiaryThreads Settings.
- Open DiaryThreads and check that Premium is active on this device.
- For Custom Widget, open Settings → Custom Widget. Choose an image, add optional text, and save.
- Open the Home Screen widget gallery, find DiaryThreads, and add a widget in an available size.
- Tap Write Entry to write, or a memory to open its entry. Update your custom image and text later in DiaryThreads Settings.
Find the right size
Random Entry and Write Entry offer small, medium, and large sizes. Photo Memory and Custom Widget use the large size.
Analytics requires iOS or iPadOS 27 or later and a supported extra-large portrait size. Check your device’s widget gallery for available options.
Choose what appears
Diary content is prepared locally. App Lock hides entry text in widgets while keeping the writing action available. Your custom image and text are the items you explicitly choose for Home Screen display.
A few things worth knowing
Are the widgets included in the free tier?
Widgets are Premium features. The app shows available widget types and sizes for your device and system.
Do widgets upload diary text?
Widgets read content prepared locally by DiaryThreads; they have no separate diary upload service.
What happens when App Lock is enabled?
Entry text is hidden in widgets while the write action remains available.
