Widgets

Widgets show matching events from a chosen view with a live countdown: without opening Soona. All widget types are available on the free tier.

Home Screen widgets

Widget	Sizes	What it shows
Next Event	Small	The next match from one view, Card or Countdown style
Upcoming Events	Small, Medium	Upcoming matches listed by day

Add a widget: long-press the Home Screen → Edit → Add Widget → Soona.

Next Event (countdown style) and Upcoming Events widgets on a Home Screen.

Lock Screen accessories

Two Lock Screen families are supported:

Family	Layout
Rectangular	Title and countdown in a wide rectangle
Inline	Single line below the clock

Long-press the Lock Screen → Customize → tap a data slot → Soona.

Rectangular and inline Soona widgets on the Lock Screen.

StandBy

Soona widgets work in StandBy on supported iPhones, same types and configuration as Home Screen.

Apple Watch

The Watch app and complications show the active view’s countdown on your wrist. See Apple Watch.

When adding or editing a Soona widget, you configure:

Parameter	Options
View	Any saved view
Time Display	Relative days (“Tomorrow”) or live Countdown
Background	Gradient, Solid, or None (Home Screen widgets)

Lock Screen accessories use the same View and Time Display options in the space their family allows.

When nothing matches

Widgets show a rotating idle message from a built-in phrase pool. There is no custom idle-message field in v1. The widget still refreshes in the background.

Privacy on Lock Screen

Lock Screen widgets follow your iPhone’s privacy settings. If your iPhone hides sensitive content until it’s unlocked (the same setting that hides notification previews), Soona’s event details are hidden the same way until you unlock.
