WidgetLoft
WidgetLoft is an iOS app that lets you organize your installed apps into colorful folders and place them on your Home Screen and Lock Screen as widgets. Each tile shows the real app icon and launches the app directly with a single tap.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is WidgetLoft?
WidgetLoft is an iOS app that organizes your installed apps into colorful folders you can place on your Home Screen and Lock Screen as widgets, then launch any app with a single tap.
Is WidgetLoft free?
Yes, WidgetLoft is free to download on the App Store.
How do WidgetLoft widgets work?
You build a folder of apps, add a WidgetLoft widget to your Home Screen or Lock Screen, and each tile shows the real app icon. Tapping a tile opens that app directly.
What widget sizes does WidgetLoft support?
WidgetLoft offers small, medium, and large Home Screen grids, plus Lock Screen accessory widgets for your most-used apps.
Does WidgetLoft work on the Lock Screen?
Yes. You can add Lock Screen accessory widgets so your favorite apps are one tap away.
Can you launch an app directly from a widget on iPhone?
Yes. WidgetLoft turns a widget into a grid of real app icons, and tapping a tile opens that app directly — no need to open a folder or menu first.
What is the best way to organize apps on an iPhone?
A minimal Home Screen combined with the App Library for storage and a widget-based launcher like WidgetLoft for one-tap access to your most-used apps is the most efficient setup. It keeps your screen clean while everything stays one tap away.
Is WidgetLoft a good alternative to stock iOS folders?
Yes. Stock folders require two taps (open the folder, then the app) and only show tiny icon previews. WidgetLoft shows full-size real icons and launches any app in a single tap, directly from a Home Screen or Lock Screen widget.
Do I need Shortcuts or automations to use WidgetLoft?
No. WidgetLoft handles app launching natively through its widget, so you do not need to build anything in the Shortcuts app.
