Add widgets and the watch complication
Keep due cards visible with Swiftflip widgets on iPhone, iPad and Mac, plus the Due Cards complication on Apple Watch.
Mac support is in development.
Swiftflip widgets keep your due-card count in sight, so practice stays on your radar without opening the app. This page keeps the shared widget choices together, then shows where each Apple platform puts them. See the widgets overview for what each one does.
Release status: iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch support is available now. Native Mac widgets landed after build 226 and are still in development.
Home Screen widgets
Touch and hold an empty part of the Home Screen, tap the add button in the corner, then search for Swiftflip. There are three widgets:
- Due Now shows how many cards are due right now. When you are caught up it says so.
- Deck Queue lists your top decks with cards due, so you can jump into a specific one.
- Week Rhythm shows your review activity over the last seven days.
Tap a widget to open Swiftflip. Due Now takes you into practice, a Deck Queue row opens that deck and Week Rhythm opens your insights.
Lock Screen and StandBy
Due Now also works on the Lock Screen. Edit the Lock Screen, tap a widget slot and pick Swiftflip. It fits the small circular, rectangular and inline shapes. When your iPhone is charging on its side, the same widget appears in StandBy.
Mac widgets
The current development build brings Due Now, Deck Queue and Week Rhythm to the Mac desktop. Control-click the desktop, select Edit Widgets, search for Swiftflip and drag a size into place.
The Mac widgets use the same synced library as iPhone and iPad. This support landed after build 226 and is not part of version 1.15.0.
Apple Watch complication
On Apple Watch, the Due Cards complication shows your due count on the watch face. Touch and hold the face, tap Edit, choose a circular slot and pick Swiftflip Due Cards. From then on your due count is one glance away.
How they update
Widgets and the complication refresh through the day and right after you practice, so the count reflects your latest session. The number comes from your synced library and matches across supported devices.
Pair widgets with study reminders so you both see the count and get a nudge when cards are waiting.
