Widgets you pin to one thing

Three widgets follow one countdown, habit or project instead of your whole day. They come with HourLife Premium; without it they show the general version.

    One countdown you pick.

  • Pinned Habit

    The ring for one habit you pick.

    Small, medium · Premium

Control Center

Each control opens HourLife at the place it names, except Water, which logs on the spot.

Brain
Opens a Brain capture.
Journal
Opens a new journal entry.
Gratitude
Opens HourLife to capture a gratitude entry.
Task
Opens a new task.
Win
Opens HourLife to capture a win.
Mood
Opens HourLife to log your mood.
Focus
Starts a 25-minute Focus session.
Water
Logs 200 ml of water in Intake, without opening the app.

Good to know

  • Daily Wisdom, Sobriety Streak and the Water control read from Wisdom, Sobriety and Intake, which are Premium modules, so they have something to show once you use those modules.
  • HourLife has no Live Activities. To add a task, log a habit or hear your day by voice, see Siri and Shortcuts.
