Links can be URLs that open websites or URL schemes that open and control apps.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>Launcher is an app that&rsquo;s been around for a very long time, helping iPhone users automate a long list of tasks by reducing more complex tasks into single-tap launchers. With the introduction of the app&rsquo;s Lock Screen widgets, it can now launch apps, run shortcuts, play music, call friends and family, start driving directions, and a lot more directly from your Lock Screen.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>Just Press Record has always been about quickly capturing audio, so having a button on the Lock Screen that starts a new recording is perfect.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>With Overcast&rsquo;s new Recents Lock Screen widget, I can resume an episode with a single tap, which I love. The other widget I like a lot is Playlist, which lets you pick one of your Overcast playlists, and with a tap, drop into it directly to start listening.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>Countdowns does a fantastic job of matching glanceable information with thoughtful options. The app is perfect for widgets because it&rsquo;s all about counting down the time before a big day you want to remember.<\/p>\n<p>[&#8230;]<\/p>\n<p>FitnessView, the health and fitness tracker from Funn Media, allows users to track a wide variety of metrics compared to Apple&rsquo;s own Fitness app tracker.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I hope in a future version of iOS there&rsquo;s way to add more or larger Lock Screen widgets, and to customize the buttons at the bottom, like with Control Center.<\/p>\n\n<p>Previously:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2022\/09\/21\/weather-strip-1-7-1\/\">Weather Strip 1.7.1<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2022\/09\/21\/mercury-weather-1-1-4\/\">Mercury Weather 1.1.4<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2022\/09\/19\/weathergraph-1-0-117\/\">Weathergraph 1.0.117<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2022\/09\/16\/lockflow-1-0-2\/\">LockFlow 1.0.2<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2022\/09\/15\/widgetsmith-for-ios-16s-lock-screen\/\">Widgetsmith for iOS 16&rsquo;s Lock Screen<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2022\/09\/13\/launching-apps-from-ios-16s-lock-screen\/\">Launching Apps From iOS 16&rsquo;s Lock Screen<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/mjtsai.com\/blog\/2015\/03\/20\/launcher-returns-to-the-app-store\/\">Launcher Returns to the App Store<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Voorhees: Link HUB lets you put links on your iOS 16 Lock Screen.
