hello! would it be possible to have an app limit blocker where you choose for how much time between 5-20min you wanna go on the app ? i have tried it with other apps but it always ends up not working like the app is not blocked anymore. would very much appreciate it since this app is helping my dumbifying my phone.

save me from my screen time

It would be cool if an attachment / addon to the clock widget was the ability to have something scheduled. For example show like “meeting - starts in 30 minutes”

Reminders / to do lists

Charlie H

Don’t know if this is a feature request or a bug report, but when naming apps/shortcuts any capital letters after the first don’t seem to be displaying properly in the widget? So for example “BBC News” is displaying as “Bbc news” despite me checking and renaming it multiple times. Is this a feature that needs updating or am I just doing something wrong!?

Capitalisation of letters in app names

It would be great to have a to do list, same style as the regular thing. It has to be integrated as a widget too, so it’s on the homescreen

May be a Widget Limitation, but instead of clicking on an app in the widget you can click on a folder name, for example “School” and it opens to a new board of options for apps I put inside of it

Folder

Blank spaces is currently able to launch apps without first opening the blank spaces app, can smiles launcher do this too so that we don’t have another app open in our task switcher. Thanks

Launch app bypassing smiles launcher

Currently, if I touch the empty space around widget shortcuts, it opens the Smile app. If my finger misses the shortcut I am trying to hit, I ideally want nothing to open, but that may not be what everyone wants. So it would be cool to have a setting in the app to turn that off.

I would really love if you can add a customisable analogue clock next to the current digital one.<img data-width="100%" data-align="left" alt="" data-featurebase-content-key="684d078539113816936ac27c/post/6a613ebe1fccb7ded66b019f/019f8bdd-1093-7218-93de-0b876ab630f4/b64u-SU1HXzU0MzEuanBlZw.jpeg" data-featurebase-content-filename="IMG_5431.jpeg" src="https://684d078539113816936ac27c.featurebase-attachments.com/c/post/6a613ebe1fccb7ded66b019f/019f8bdd-1093-7218-93de-0b876ab630f4/b64u-SU1HXzU0MzEuanBlZw.jpeg?X-Amz-Expires=3600&amp;X-Amz-Date=20260903T230000Z&amp;X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&amp;X-Amz-Credential=DO801TYC4FCVNNEKURKM%2F20260903%2Ffra1%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&amp;X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&amp;X-Amz-Signature=d83897be3da03273fc74fb9559f178bfc361c7faaee796d36273b7b852eb5bcf">

Eesa Tilly

Hey I found two bugs?A) when music is playing and I open an app sometimes the audio goes down? Especially in car playB) when i open an app through the widgets it messes with how screen time records app being open for some reason? Showing much longer hours than actually spent on there

Bugs?

I love the ability to have usage limits for apps as well as the launch controls feature that allows you to have a custom message. The only downside is no smooth mode with this feature. Smooth mode just feels much cleaner to use. If these functions could be incorporated together that would be awesome! Thank you

I think it would be useful to have a feature that randomizes the position of the apps in the widget, so that way you can’t really get used to the position of the apps, instead having to search for it by reading the apps, helping with the compulsion. (For example, many people open social media apps without even realizing, it’s a habit (or compulsion). They reach for the position of the app, it’s muscle memory. I think that the more steps you have to take to do the compulsion, the more you become aware of it and can avoid it.) By having the widget randomly place the apps, you are made aware of the compulsion by having to search for the app you were looking for. I think that’s useful for making the phone a tool, instead of a compulsion.

Randomize the position of apps

It would be a nice feature that if you tap the clock widget it opens either apple clock or apple calendar app

Would it be possible to get multiple transparent backgrounds für different widgets? I have multiple Wallpapers linked to different focuses and i would like the smile widget to adapt to these wallpapers. It would be best if that would go automatically, but just being able to set up different transparent backgrounds for the different wallpapers would be fine already.Thanks

Multiple Wallpapers

Moritz Brummer

Would love an option to draw light and dark shadows around text. It helps with legibility against background images.Secondly, add a “center” position for large widgets in transparent background mode. As it is, the user has to play with positioning to get it to look right.Great app.

Draw Shadows

I’m a little surprised that the Camera and Weather app is not there for the shortcut can you add that for iPhone?

Add weather app shortcut for iphone and camera aswell

I would like to use my own background.Other apps do this: You upload a screenshot of a blank home screen (no apps) and then the widget takes on a cropped version of the uploaded screenshot as a background. Thus the widget appears transparent

It would be great to be able to change the case settings for all app shortcuts, with just one setting, instead of manually changing them one by one. Suggested variations:Sentence case lower case UPPER CASE Capitalized Case

Add character case option to appearence

Xerpico

In order to keep the number of “swipes” to get to the iOS app library high - I always keep one widget empty so I can use it as “invisible” content for the homescreens and increase their number.This means I can use only 4 widgets for content.So either it would be great to add one “empty” widget by default or increase the number of widgets overall (not sure if there’s an external limit there, otherwise i see no reason to limit the number of customizable widgets?)

Add empty widget by default

High Priority

Feature: Dynamic Light/Dark Mode for Widgets

Whenever I am making my shortcuts, I am constantly back and forth between the shortcuts app and Smile, and one thing that irritates me is that when tabbing back to / going back to the Smile app, it takes me back to the default page (whereas, i would prefer to have stayed on the page i was on—customising and adding new shortcuts, for example).

Retaining previous state while tabbing out of the Smile app.
