This is a universal purchase for the Mac, iOS, and Watch apps.
Ratings & Reviews
- This app has not received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.
### CHANGED
- Idle widget taps remain inert when no --action-kind is set (placeholder Hello World does not clear on click).
### NEW
- Pie charts with --chart-format pie and label:value[:color] tokens (space- or comma-separated), optional per-slice colors, JSON slices arrays, inline side legend on medium/extra-large widgets, and percentage labels in the legend.
- Multi-series line charts with --chart-format series (slash-separated groups), shared Y scaling, and optional --chart-series-labels for legend names.
- --chart-key legend placement (auto, inline/left, bottom, external, none) for pie and series charts on macOS and iOS widgets.
- --key-target to write legend rows to a second widget (for example cpu-key), including legend-only key widgets that inherit colors from the main chart and scale text to fill the widget.
- --chart-bar-style glass support for pie slices (liquid glass wedge fills).
- Quad4 multi-goal progress with comma-separated --progress values, --progress-format quad4 (quad-4 alias), and optional --progress-layout grouping across CLI, URL, AppleScript, Shortcuts, and JSON.
### IMPROVED
- Matrix charts keep up to 2048 cells (was 128, same as sparklines) and shrink cell size to fit the widget so extra-large heatmaps can show a dense series.
- Series line colors now match legend swatches instead of using a single foreground color for every line.
- External key widgets inherit foreground, background, gradient, and padding from the main chart update.
- --fit-text for tables grows cell fonts until width or height binds, persists on table updates, and vertically centers with --center-table (auto layout).
- Table fit-text width safety so grown cells stop before truncating, instead of overshooting into ellipses.
- --font on tables uses the same installed font for cells and column measurement as --text (macOS and iOS).
### FIXED
- Figlet and other --no-wrap ASCII blocks no longer clip the first lines in WidgetKit. Multiline terminal art is rasterized to an image, scaled with the same 10pt inset as --padding fill, and centered when --fit-text is on.
- Comma-separated pie literals such as Work:40,Play:25,Sleep:35 now parse correctly (commas inside rgb(...) colors are preserved).
- iOS pie/series widget updates by adding pie, series, and legend fields to the host app payload and URL handler so Shortcuts and URL updates persist and reload widgets.
- External key widget updates from CLI and URL scheme now write legend payloads to the --key-target widget instead of leaving it on the placeholder.
- Whole-widget taps on Mac and iPhone/iPad use App Intents (same path as launcher buttons) so configured actions keep working when custom-scheme widgetURL delivery fails.
