Air Gist
Airtable stats on your iPhone Home Screen
Your Airtable numbers, on the Home Screen.
The ones you keep opening the app to check — today's orders, this month's total, days to go — kept current on their own.
Coming to the App Store.
Your Airtable numbers, right on the Home Screen.
Air Gist is an iPhone app that puts the numbers from your Airtable on your Home Screen — a count, a total, a goal, a short list. You pick what you want to see, and it stays current on its own, in light or dark, ready to tap open.
Watch a total climb toward its goal.
Point a ring or gauge at any number and see how close you are — 72% of the sales goal, the deposit saved for a trip. The ring fills as the number grows; the gauge slides from green to red as things heat up.
Your trend, sized for the Home Screen.
A simple bar or line of the number you follow over time — orders each day, steps this week, spending this month. One look tells you which way it's going.
A few numbers, one glance.
Line up the figures you check together in a single widget — today's orders, the week so far, how many are still open, how many you've won. All current, side by side.
What's next, in a tidy list.
Show the next few things on your Home Screen — your next meetings, the next stops on a trip, this week's meals. Tap one to open it.
Every kind of number, its own widget.
Pick the shape that fits what you’re tracking — a total, a goal, a countdown, a list.

Questions
Is Air Gist out yet?
Not quite — it’s coming to the App Store. It’s free to start, and we’ll post the link here the day it lands.
How much setting up is there?
Connect your Airtable account once, then per widget: pick a base, a table, and a view, and choose what it shows. A live preview draws as you go. There is nothing to script and nothing to keep running — these are real iOS widgets, so iOS refreshes them for you.
How often do the widgets update?
On their own, through the day. Your iPhone picks the timing based on how you use it, so a widget shows recent numbers without you doing anything. Open the app any time to pull the latest.
Will widgets drain my battery?
No. Each widget grabs a small amount of data on a schedule your iPhone manages, so it stays light on battery and data.
Is my Airtable account safe? Can it change my data?
Yes, it’s safe. You connect your own Airtable account, and Air Gist only reads what it needs to show a widget. It never edits or deletes anything.
How many widgets can I add?
As many as you like, on either plan. Each one can point at something different, so you can mix numbers from across your Airtable on one Home Screen. Pro adds the four widget types that take more setting up, and lets you connect more than one base.
Doesn’t Airtable already have widgets?
Airtable’s own widgets open the app when you tap them. Air Gist shows the number itself — the count, total, or goal — right on the Home Screen, so a glance is enough.
Light and dark, and what sizes?
Every widget matches your Home Screen’s light or dark look on its own, and comes in small, medium, and large.
