Have you ever wanted to be able to quickly and easily check your Pixela graphs that record your various activities at any time?
The widget functionality of iOS is perfect for such use cases. This article shows how to add your Pixela graphs to the home screen as iOS widgets.

Requirements

Use the "Widget Web" App. This application is not provided by Pixela, but is available free of charge. However, I purchase and use this App because purchasing it opens up various restrictions.

By the way, you can also set the Pixela display to dark mode by specifying in .
 
When you have completed all the settings, press in the upper right corner to complete the preparation.
 
All that remains is to perform the normal procedure for adding widgets. Tap the icon in the upper left corner of the screen that appears by long tapping the blank area of the home screen,
and select from the list of widgets,
Choose the widget size you want and add it.
By repeating the above process, you can easily fill your home screen with Pixela graphs.
