CLUSTER JAVASCRIPT-NATIVE-WIDGETS · 7 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-12-17

On-device iOS scripting and widgets

This cluster focuses on mobile apps that let users write JavaScript, TypeScript, or lightweight scripts to build custom home-screen widgets, automate iOS features, and extend the Shortcuts app. Entries are scattered across 2017-12, 2018-09, 2018-11, 2021-03, 2021-05, and 2024-12, showing a thin and irregular timeline rather than any clear growth pattern. Traction leaders are Scripting, JellyCuts, and JSBox, but all show zero stars, so no member has notable user activity.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 7 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.
