Lock Screen Widgets for Your Metrics

ActivitySmith Lock Screen widgets showing SaaS metrics on iPhone

ActivitySmith lets you display any value on your Lock Screen with widgets - SaaS metrics, revenue, number of users, uptime, or anything else you want to track.

How it works

  1. Create a metric in the web app.
  2. Update the value using API anytime it changes.
  3. Add the widget to your iPhone Lock Screen.

Create widget metric in the ActivitySmith web app

When creating a metric, you can choose the format: number, currency, percent, unit, or string.

Update a Metric Value from Your Backend

Call the update method with the metric key and the latest value:

await activitysmith.metrics.update("deploy.success_rate", 99.9);

The widget fetches the latest value about every 15 minutes. iOS manages the refresh schedule.

Widget Types

There are multiple widget types to choose from, depending on how you want the metric to appear on your Lock Screen.
