Titan has three iPhone widgets, one each for Recovery, Exertion, and Battery, and each works on the Home Screen and the Lock Screen. This article covers the sizes, how to add them, when the numbers change, and what a tap opens. The Apple Watch app is a separate product, covered in Watch companion.
01The three widgets
Each widget shows one score. Recovery and Battery show a percentage from 0 to 100. Exertion shows a score out of 10, such as 6/10.
Every widget comes in five sizes.
| Size | Where it goes | What it shows |
|---|---|---|
| Small | Home Screen | Metric name, a ring gauge with the value, and the time of the last update |
| Medium | Home Screen | Metric name, the value, a second score, and a ring gauge |
| Inline | Lock Screen, above the clock | The metric name and value on one line of text |
| Circular | Lock Screen, below the clock | A ring gauge with the number and the metric's icon |
| Rectangular | Lock Screen, below the clock | The metric name, the value, and a bar gauge |
When Titan has no saved value for a metric, the widget shows two dashes in place of the number.
02The medium widget's second score
The medium size adds a smaller second score under the main value. The Recovery widget shows your Sleep score. The Exertion widget shows your Recovery score. The Battery widget shows your Exertion score.
03Add a widget to the Home Screen
- Touch and hold an empty area of the Home Screen until the apps jiggle.
- Tap Edit in the top-left corner, then tap Add Widget.
- Search for Titan and tap it.
- Swipe to choose Recovery, Exertion, or Battery in the small or medium size.
- Tap Add Widget, then tap Done.
04Add a widget to the Lock Screen
- Unlock your iPhone, then touch and hold the Lock Screen.
- Tap Customize, then choose Lock Screen.
- Tap the widget row below the clock for a circular or rectangular widget, or tap the date above the clock for the inline widget.
- Choose Titan, then choose the metric.
- Tap Done.
05When the numbers update
The widgets never read Apple Health on their own. They show the last scores the Titan iPhone app saved. Titan saves fresh scores each time it refreshes Today, and it tells iOS to redraw every Titan widget right after that save.
Each widget also asks iOS to reload every 30 minutes. That reload redraws the same saved scores and calculates nothing new. iOS can delay it to save power. If Titan has not refreshed Today in a while, the widgets keep showing the older numbers. Open Titan to bring them up to date. The small widget prints the time of the saved scores, so you can check how old they are.
06Rounding
Exertion is a decimal score in the app. The widget rounds it to the nearest whole number, so 5.2 appears as 5/10 and 5.6 appears as 6/10. Recovery, Battery, and Sleep are already whole numbers, so the widget matches what you see on Today.
07Tap to open the metric
Tapping a widget opens Titan on that metric's detail screen. Titan closes any screens you had open first, so the detail screen sits directly on top of Today. Read Recovery score and Exertion score for what those numbers mean, and Today screen for the rest of the layout.
