Here’s a tip for making a calendar widget that can “move by month” 💡✨
Scheduler · iPhone Calendar App
Hello! 😎 Today, instead of sharing an update, I’m writing to share a great tip from one of our users on how to use the ‘Scheduler Widget’ with all of you 📮. It’s a tip on creating a calendar widget that can “move by month”~! 💡
iPhones and iPads have a feature called ‘Smart Stack’. If you add the ‘Last Month, This Month, Next Month’ widgets provided by the Scheduler app in order to the Smart Stack, you can create a calendar widget that allows you to “move by month” with an “up-and-down swipe”. I’ve outlined detailed instructions on how to use ‘Smart Stack’ below 🙌.
📌 How to use Smart Stack
-
Press and hold an empty space on the home screen of your iPhone or iPad to reveal the ‘Edit’ button, then tap ‘Add Widget’ and search for ‘Smart Stack’. On iOS 17, the ’+’ button appears instead of the ‘Edit’ button!
-
Select and add the largest size widget from the Smart Stack. The Scheduler app offers widgets in various sizes, so you can choose other sizes to customize as well. For this guide, let’s stick with the ‘Large Calendar’ widgets 📆.
-
In edit mode, tap the Smart Stack widget to open the edit screen (sometimes you may need to tap twice).
-
Remove all the widgets currently selected in the Smart Stack, and turn off both ‘Smart Rotate’ and ‘Widget Suggestions’.
-
Add the ‘Last Month, This Month, Next Month’ calendar widgets from the Scheduler app in order.
-
Now, you’ll have a calendar widget where you can swipe up and down to navigate through last month, this month, and next month 🙌.
I’ve also attached an image for your reference 🌠.
Actually, we were planning to provide a widget that allows movement across “all months”, as many users had requested, but it seems that the technology to support this widget has been discontinued from iOS 18 😭.
However, thanks to one user’s brilliant idea, we’ve learned that even though you can’t move through all months, you can still add a widget to view and navigate across three months using this method 👍. I applied it myself right away, and it’s super convenient 💪.
📧 In closing
