Catch the number as it moves

A number that creeps up all day only gets noticed once it's a problem.

Some numbers creep — the support queue, unpaid invoices, items running low. Nothing about them speaks up; the count just drifts through the day, and you tend to find out it climbed once it’s already a headache. A live widget keeps that number in front of you and refreshes on its own, so you watch it move instead of finding out after the fact. Catching it early is usually the whole difference — a queue you spot at eight beats the one you meet at noon.

How Air Gist shows it

Here’s the rest of what Air Gist does.

Airtable, and Air Gist at a glance.

Airtable’s charts, numbers, and dashboards are genuinely good — you just open the app to see them. Air Gist brings the figures you check all day out to your Home Screen, current on their own and ready to tap open.
