How do I add a home screen widget?

Nenne offers 3 widgets: nap timer, wake-up alarm, and a combined nap + wake-up alarm view. Long-press your home screen, find Nenne in the widget list, and add it. On iPhone, a lock screen widget is also available.

Widget types

  • Nap timer · The remaining time of a running nap
  • Wake-up alarm · Shows up to 5 of your nearest upcoming wake-up alarms. The medium iPhone widget shows 3 of them and the large one shows 4, with the rest shown as +N. So even if you have more than 5 alarms, +N is calculated based on those 5.
  • Nap + wake-up alarm · Both at a glance

Widgets follow your device’s dark mode and the app’s language. On Android widgets, the wake-up alarm time follows your device’s 12-hour or 24-hour setting.

Good to know

  • Widgets only display status. Removing a widget doesn’t affect any scheduled alarm, and tapping one doesn’t start or stop an alarm.
  • Widgets only refresh when your phone allows it, so they can be a little behind the app screen.
  • If a widget shows nothing, open Nenne once — the app passes the information the widget needs to display.

iPhone

  1. Long-press an empty area of your home screen, then tap Edit → Add Widget.
  2. Find Nenne in the list and choose the widget type and size (small, medium, or large).
  3. Add a lock screen widget by long-pressing the lock screen and tapping Customize.

On recent iOS versions, long-pressing the Nenne app icon shows widget size icons at the top of the menu. Tap the size you want and the app icon turns directly into a widget of that size.

Android

  1. Long-press an empty area of your home screen and tap Widgets.
  2. Find Nenne in the list and drag the widget you want onto your home screen.

Menu names may vary slightly by device manufacturer.
