Chronus Information Widgets
What kind of information can I display on a Chronus widget?
You can display a digital clock, current weather conditions from sources like Weather.com, your next Google Calendar event, a news ticker, and even tasks from apps like Microsoft To Do. The widget lets you stack and customize these elements so your home screen shows exactly what you need at a glance.
Can I filter which calendar events appear on the widget?
Yes, you can choose to show events only from specific calendars, such as your 'Family' calendar, to keep work events off your home screen. This filtering helps reduce clutter and ensures you only see the events that matter most in that moment.
The settings menu looks overwhelming. How do I get started without getting frustrated?
Start by focusing on just one widget type and tweak it for about 30 minutes—ignore the rest of the options. Once you push through that initial confusion, the layout becomes intuitive, and you'll be able to add new widgets in minutes.
What should I do if the weather or other data stops updating on my widget?
First, try restarting your phone, as this often fixes update issues caused by system updates like Android security patches. If the problem persists, check that your data sources are still connected and that the app has permission to run in the background.
How does Chronus compare to a single-purpose widget like a basic clock or weather app?
Unlike a single-purpose widget that only shows one type of info, Chronus acts as a customizable info hub where you can combine time, weather, calendar events, and tasks in one glance. It gives you far more control over layout and data sources, all without needing to open multiple apps.
