Home screen widgets for Android and iOS
Astro-COLIBRI now lives on your home screen: keep an eye on the transient sky without even opening the app. Four widgets are available now, with more to come.
- Astro-COLIBRI gives an overview of the last 24 hours with a breakdown per event type, covering the events that match your filters.
- Latest discoveries shows every new event in the sky, marking the ones that match your own filters.
- Observable tonight lists what is up at your observatory, with each target’s visibility window and peak altitude.
- Watchlist keeps the events you saved in view.
A few things worth knowing:
- Every widget comes in several sizes, from a single box to a full-height list, and each size shows what actually fits rather than a cropped version of the same layout.
- On iOS the widgets are also available on the Lock Screen.
- Tapping an event opens it right away in Astro-COLIBRI. Latest discoveries and Observable tonight also give direct access to the AR sky view.
- Widgets follow your colour theme, including the red night-vision theme, and your app language.
- The content refreshes roughly every 30 minutes and requires a verified Astro-COLIBRI account.
Add them from your device home screen as usual. The Home screen widgets entry in your account menu explains what each one does and when it was last refreshed.
