Your lock screen is the perfect place to show frequently viewed info—like the weather! Apple’s default Weather app offers lock screen widgets for temperature, UV index, sunrise and sunset times, precipitation, wind, air quality, and even moon phases.

This Korean app, Photo Widget, includes cute to-do lists, horoscope displays, and more creative options. You can also show your calendar or battery level (though the battery widget sometimes doesn’t display exact numbers).
If the small battery icon in the corner is hard to see, the Battery widget is for you. The small widget shows a visual indicator, while the larger one displays the exact percentage.
