### 📱 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.
