Your plan now lives on your home screen, with a capybara keeping an eye on it. CapyPlan's new iOS widgets show today's tasks at a glance, let you tick things off and add new ones without opening the app, and come in your colours with your Capy.

Why you'll like them

See today without unlocking anything. Your tasks, the count done, and the date, right on the home screen or lock screen.
Tick off and add in one tap. The buttons on the widget work. Finish a task or add a new one straight from the home screen.
A capybara that reacts. Capy sits beside your list, the progress ring fills as you go, and when everything is done Capy slides into the onsen for a soak.
Make it yours. Pick a style, a size, a background colour, and which capybara keeps you company.

The Onsen style, medium size. Capy rests beside your list.

Two styles, three sizes

Minimalist keeps it clean: your Capy in a progress ring, a coloured bar for each task, and the list. Onsen adds the scene: Capy lounging in the water next to your tasks. Both come in small (next task plus a tick and an add button), medium (three tasks), and large (the whole day, with a "+4 more" when it's a big one).

Your colour, your capybara

Open Settings → Widgets in the app. Pick a style and size, then choose a background colour: white, cream, pink, peach, yuzu yellow, mint, coral, sky, lavender, or any colour you like. Below that, pick your capybara: Classic Capy, Yuzu Capy, Coffee Capy, Baby Capy, and friends. The preview updates as you tap, and the widget on your home screen follows. A few premium colours and capybaras are part of Capy+.

CapyPlan widget settings: a large Minimalist widget preview with Small, Medium and Large size options and a row of pastel background colours — Pick a size and a background colour.

CapyPlan widget settings: medium widget preview, ten background colour swatches including a custom colour wheel, and a row of capybaras to choose from — Then choose your Capy.

Lock screen and Apple Watch too

On the lock screen, a small CapyPlan widget shows your next task and how many you've done, and a ring shows the count. On Apple Watch, the same widgets live in your Smart Stack, so a glance at your wrist is enough.
