How to use the Opal Widget

If you'd like to see your currently running Opal rules, you may install the Opal widget on the iOS version of the app! To do so, follow these steps:

  • Long press on your iPhone's home screen
  • Tap the "Edit" button in top left corner
  • Tap "Add Widget"
  • Input "Opal" in the "Search Widgets" bar
  • Select your widget type
  • Tap "+ Add Widget" button to place Opal on your Home Screen

Opal also supports Lock Screen widgets. Here's how to add one to your device:

  • Long press on your iPhone's Lock Screen
  • "Enter Passcode"
  • Tap "Customise"
  • Select "Lock Screen"
  • Tap "+ Add Widgets" or tap and hold on existing widgets
  • Tap on "Opal"
  • Drag and drop the widget size you prefer on your Lock Screen
  • Tap on "x"
  • Tap on "x" from the "Add Widgets" screen
  • Tap "Done"

When that is complete, if you tap on the Opal widget from your Lock Screen, it will automatically open Opal.

I want more Opal widgets! I want the Opal widget to include different information!

If you'd like the ability to start a Rule from your Opal widget, or to see your daily screen time from the Opal widget, please note that functionality is coming soon.
