See limits and sessions in the Dynamic Island and on the Lock Screen

Step by step

1. Open the Hedoq settings on your iPhone.
2. Turn on the switch that shows Hedoq in the island.
3. Minimize the app.

What you see

• In the Dynamic Island: the tightest limit as a percentage, and how many sessions are working and how many are done. A long press opens the details.
• On the Lock Screen: limits with the time to reset, and sessions with their state: working, question, done, waiting.
• If the island is shared with another app, Hedoq shows its logo.

How to read the icons

• A yellow dot with a number: that many sessions are working right now.
• A green dot with a number: that many sessions finished their turn and are waiting for you.
• The percentage: what is left of the tightest subscription window. When little is left, the number changes color.
• Each session on the Lock Screen is labeled working (with a timer), question, done, waiting or asleep.

The Home Screen widget

1. Touch and hold an empty spot on the Home Screen, then tap Edit and Add Widget.
2. Find Hedoq and pick a size: small, wide or large.
3. The widget shows limits and sessions. Tap a session to open it in the app.

Good to know

• The island gets fresh data while the app is open. After you minimize it, it shows the last known state, and after a minute it honestly says it is offline instead of showing a frozen timer.
• iOS refreshes the widget itself, usually every 15-30 minutes.
• When offline, the Hedoq logo in the island is dimmed.
• For the widget, the Mac sends the relay server a short summary: the Mac’s name, limits, session names and states. More in privacy.
