Home screen widgets

There are two widgets in Gadgetbridge:

  • Zzz widget for quick alarm setting.
  • Main widget which shows current step count, sleep hours, status and allows alarm settings too.

Zzz widget

Upon tapping the Zzz, this widget quickly sets an alarm after "Preferred sleep duration" as set in "Preferences → About you". This alarm is set by overwriting the first alarm on the device.

Main widget

It shows current device name, total step count, total distance (steps * step length), sleep hours (since the previous day's noon) and battery status/level (not connected/connecting/battery percentage).

The widget provides quick access to several actions:

  • Tap on the gadget name requests data re-sync. If gadget is currently not connected via Bluetooth, Gadgetbridge attempts to reconnect first.
  • Clock icon opens alarm popup to quickly set an alarm for 5 mins, 10 mins, 20 mins, 1 hour, 8 hours (Last item uses hours value as is set in your "Preferences → About you → Preferred sleep duration"). This alarm is set by overwriting the first alarm on the device.
  • Gadgetbridge icon opens the Gadgetbridge app.
  • Steps/distance/sleep opens up the Activity charts in Gadgetbridge.
  • Long tap the widget to resize it.
