DayView dashboard Apple TV

When you get up in the morning, you don’t have to flip through channels or apps to see what your day looks like. To see the weather, news, calendar events, stocks, and more, just pop on your Apple TV and the DayView app .

The DayView – Personal Dashboard gives you everything you need to start your day.

What DayView gives you

When you install DayView on Apple TV, the app has default widgets set up for you. You’ll see the current weather, time and date, and commute distance across the top.

Below that, you have news headlines, your calendar events, and stocks.

This is terrific, but the nice thing is, that you can change these widgets to suit your needs.

DayView Customize on Apple TV

Click Customize on the top left of the screen and then choose the widget you want to change. You’ll then see a collection of widgets available that you can swap out. So, if you’d rather see what’s trending on Twitter instead of the Stocks, just switch them.

In addition to the widgets, you can change the wallpaper for the app from eight attractive photos.
