Glimpse 2 - Lets you add any webpage as iOS 14 Homescreen widget

by•

The original idea of Glimpse 2 was to bring the spirit of the original OSX Open In Safari Dashboard to iOS.
Homescreen Widgets are the perfect fit for this. You can add any webpage you want to track as Glimpse Widget

Would I be correct in thinking that this doesn’t work for web pages that exist behind logins? My use case: trying to find a quick way to make a widget with Fitbit data. Can’t get my head around the API, and thought this might be a quick way to display a bit of the web dashboard...

@jsamlarose Hi at the moment logins are not working. But in a coming update that will be in a TestFlight beta soon this will be supported (if you can store the login in a cookie - something like a stay logged in or remember me button)

@arno_app I’m excited about the possibilities for this— could make it so much easier to put useful widgets together without loads of coding. If you need another beta tester, I’m here for you... ;)

@jsamlarose I'll expect the beta approval any minute (or as long as TF review takes at the moment). Will invite you then!

Hi I’m Arno the maker of Glimpse 2 I recently released a new app for iOS 14 Glimpse 2 that lets you add any webpage as an iOS 14 homescreen widget. The initial idea was to resurrect the idea of the OSX Safari Dashboard Widget and glimpse 2 is the result. The app is pay what you want and anything can be tried out completely for free. If you like it you can consider giving a tip. I definitely would love to hear your feedback on this.
