• analogical
• Stacking
• Stopwatch

The new widget lets you: shortcuts to start timers from home screenwithout having to open the application first. With a size of 2 x 4 blocks, although dynamic as usual today, the widget will show us three timers as standard: 1 minute, 5 minutes and 10 minutes. In the upper right corner there is a button to create a new custom timer.

But the widget will be displayed timers you set in the appSo if you need something for 15 minutes so that your lentils don’t burn, you set it up in the Clock app and then you can easily launch it from its widget.
