Two ways to make a widget

Website widgets

Keep the part that matters.

Turn an existing website or internal dashboard into a widget. Zoom and crop to the number, chart, or panel you check most. Sign in to compatible sites.

Your website keeps its own layout.

API widgets / New in 2.0

Turn responses into widgets.

Send a GET or POST request with your headers and authentication. Choose a number or text from the response. Busybody handles the widget layout.

Collected readings become charts in every size.

From a URL to a widget.

  1. Add your source.

    Paste a website URL or test an API request.

  2. Choose what to show.

    Frame a webpage, pick a JSON field, or use a plain text response.

  3. Add your widget.

    Put it on your Home Screen or Mac desktop. Tap it to explore saved history.

Status messages work as widgets, too.

A few useful details.

What can I use for free?

Monitor one active website or API source for free, with multiple widgets for that source. A Busybody Pro subscription lets you monitor more sources.

How often do widgets update?

Widgets capture websites and call APIs directly from your device. API sources let you request a refresh interval; Apple controls when updates run. Updates aren't continuous or guaranteed at an exact time.

Can I use a website that needs a login?

Yes, for compatible websites. Sign in inside Busybody and save the session for future captures. Some sites block embedded browsers or use sessions that can't be reused. Sessions can expire. Only monitor sites that permit automated access.

Where does my data go?

Requests go directly from your device to your sources. Captures, responses, and history stay on your device. Saved sessions and API credentials use Keychain. No Folding Sky account is required. Widget content is visible to anyone who can see your screen.

Which devices and AI features are supported?

Busybody requires iOS 26, iPadOS 26, or macOS 26 or later. Optional summaries use Apple Intelligence on a supported device with Apple Intelligence enabled. Summaries can appear in widgets, too.

Read the Privacy Policy and Terms of Service, or get support.

Start with the source you check most.
