If you have an iOS device, you can add the Blinkist widget to your home screen. Blinkist widgets let you access your daily reading right from your home screen—no need to open the app first.

What the widget will show the current free daily Blink, if you're a Basic user, or your personalized Blink of the Day, if you're a paid subscriber.

Here's how to set it up:

  • Make sure you have the Blinkist app installed and you're logged into your account.

  • Long-press on an empty area of your home screen until an "Edit" icon appears in the top left corner. Tap on it.

  • In the pop-up window tap "Add Widget."

  • In the window that appears, type "Blinkist" in the search field, then tap the Blinkist icon.

  • Tap on "Add widget".

  • Done! The widget will now appear on your home screen. Tap it anytime to jump straight to your daily read.

To customize or remove the widget, tap and hold on it. A pop-up menu will appear with the following options:

  • Change viewing settings – Switch between different display styles for the widget.

  • Remove from Home Screen – Delete the widget if you no longer need it.
