Today, Apple launched iOS 26. Over at Cross Forward, we’ve got major updates to three of our apps today:
Widgetsmith 8
This is a big one. Widgetsmith’s design has been updated for Liquid Glass, but we took that opportunity to make meaningful improvements across the app:
- New main screen that makes it easier to find your existing widgets and create new ones.
- Search is now implemented across the app to make searching for a widget type or theme much faster.
- It’s now easier to take an existing theme and apply it to other widgets.
- You can now apply a theme based on a wallpaper to multiple widgets at once.
Widgetsmith 8 is in the App Store now.
Pedometer++ 7
Pedometer++ 7 sports an updated design that I really love. My favorite little touch is that the main screen with your step count gets a tinted background to reinforce where you are in comparison with your goal for the day.
Maps are much improved in this release as well, with an updated color palette for the light map tiles, and the addition of a new dark mode tile set. We worked with an actual cartographer (!!!) on these, and it shows.
Pedometer++ 7 is in the App Store now.
Sleep++ 4.7
In addition to the updates to Widgetsmith and Pedometer++, Sleep++ has also been updated for Liquid Glass, and I think it looks great:
