About this project
Widgets, App Intents, and Siri integration are how iOS apps now extend beyond the app icon. This project teaches WidgetKit (medium + lock screen widgets), App Intents (Shortcuts integration), and the data-sharing patterns between the main app and extensions. Pick an existing app of yours and add widgets — habit tracker, weather, etc.
Why build this in 2026?
iOS 17+ App Intents and lock-screen widgets are now expected features for top apps.
