What's new

Version 2.1.9 · 30 Sep 2026 ·

### CHANGED

  • Widget gallery description mentions Home Screen and Lock Screen sizes
  • Open at Login no longer shows a redundant "Open at Login enabled/disabled" note under the On/Off toggle; failures are still reported

### NEW

  • Lock Screen widgets support rectangular and circular sizes on iPhone using the same target as the Home Screen widget
  • Lock Screen rectangular shows text-first content (icon plus stripped text, optional progress), then progress, image, or a mini chart when text is absent
  • Lock Screen circular shows a progress ring when percent is set, otherwise the SF Symbol icon or a letter fallback
  • Widget Recipes item in the menu bar menu opens the recipes page

### IMPROVED

  • Lock screen images load once and fall back to the empty state if decode fails
  • Lock Screen text starts larger and scales down to fit, with a higher ceiling when --fit-text is set

### FIXED

  • Lock screen text strips ANSI from widget titles as well as body text
  • Lock Screen short text no longer stays tiny when --fit-text only bumped the text style
  • iCloud sync from the Mac no longer marks a widget as synced until CloudKit confirms the upload, so iPhone widgets stop getting stuck on an older revision
  • Running the app binary with no arguments while TerminalWidget is already running no longer launches a second menu bar instance; it prints the help text to stderr and exits with status 2
  • terminal-widget symlink with no arguments now correctly detects whether the app is running instead of always reporting that it is
