Just like the common software, we use widget to help us in doing our simple works easily. We can gain some simple information through widget. Basically, widget is almost similar with the apps we install in our MacBook, but what widgets can do is not as complex as the common apps we usually used to do our works.
According to techopedia widget is a broad term that can refer to either any GUI (graphical user interface) element or a tiny application that can display information and/or interact with the user. A widget can be as rudimentary as a button, scroll bar, label, dialog box or check box; or it can be something slightly more sophisticated like a search box, tiny map, clock, visitor counter or unit converter.
Not only on iPad and iPhone, adding, customizing, and using widgets can also be done on your MacBook. The widgets in your MacBook become the part of the notification panel. The steps of seeing the notification and using the widget are almost similar.
Quick-Step
Click 3-line button > Click Today tab > Click Edit > Click the green ( + ) to add widget,
and click the red ( – ) to remove the widget
