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.

  • On your Home Screen, press and hold the Blinkist app icon, until a pop-up window appears.

  • Tap one of the icons at the top to select the preferred widget size.


  • The widget will appear on the home screen.

  • Press and hold the widget again to make the pop-up window reappear and select a different widget size.

  • Tapping on the widget will bring you straight to your daily reading. Enjoy!
