Your data stays on your iPhone.

SmallWorks lets you make widgets by describing them in words. It is built so your information stays on your iPhone. This page explains exactly what the app reads, what leaves your device, and who it talks to.

What the app can read on your iPhone

Only after iOS asks you, and only when a widget you made needs it. This data is read on the device and is never sent to us or to anyone else.

• Calendar and Reminders: to show your next event, today's events, or reminders due today.
• Health: to show steps, sleep and workouts. Water widgets can also log a glass to Apple Health when you tap.
• Location (while using the app): your rough location, to show the weather where you are.
• Camera and Photos: when you choose to turn a photo of a ticket or poster into a countdown, or use a photo as a background. The photo stays on your iPhone.

You can change or withdraw any of these in iOS Settings at any time.

How your widgets are made

SmallWorks uses Apple's on-device intelligence to turn your description into a small, checked widget design. If that is not available on your iPhone, the app can download an open model and run it on the device. Your descriptions are not sent to a SmallWorks server.

Who the app contacts

The app talks to the internet only in these cases. None of them include your Calendar, Reminders, Health or photo data.

• Model download (if used): the open model files are downloaded from Hugging Face. The request contains no personal data.
• Weather: your approximate location or a place name is sent to a weather service to get the forecast. This may be Apple Weather or Open-Meteo, depending on the widget.
• Live-data widgets: a widget that needs live information uses one ready-made source, for example Formula 1 results (Jolpica), exchange rates (Frankfurter) or crypto prices (Coinbase). You see the real value first. The widget contacts that one address only after you tap Allow, and it contacts no other.
• Free image library: if you browse it, images are fetched from Wikimedia Commons.

These services receive ordinary technical information such as your IP address, as any website does, and have their own privacy policies.

Sharing

If you share a widget, only its look and words are shared. Counts, pictures and anything the widget read from your iPhone are not included.

Data on your device

Your widgets and settings are stored on your iPhone, in an app group shared between the app and its widget. If you delete SmallWorks, that data is deleted with it.

This website

This site sets no cookies, has no analytics, and loads nothing from other companies. The demo phone on the home page is a scripted copy of the app that runs in your browser; what you type into it is not sent anywhere. The company that hosts the site receives ordinary technical information such as your IP address, as any web host does.

Children

SmallWorks is not directed at children under 13 and does not knowingly collect information from anyone.

Changes

If this policy changes, the date above will change and the new version will be posted here.
