Your next session and check-in status on your home screen, plus a one-tap Quick Settings tile and long-press shortcuts.

What the widget shows

The Wayfield home-screen widget shows, at a glance:

  • The workshop name and your next session title.
  • The start time and a countdown (“45m”, “1h 20m”).
  • A status pill — “✓ Checked in” when you're in, or the countdown until then.
  • The venue location.

Tap the card to jump straight to check-in. When nothing's scheduled it reads “No sessions today” and taps through to explore workshops.

Add it to your home screen

  1. Touch and hold an empty spot on your home screen, then tap Widgets.
  2. Scroll to Wayfield and touch and hold its widget.
  3. Drag it onto your home screen and let go. It drops in at 2×2 by default — drag the handles to resize it; the layout adapts from compact to full.

Quick Settings tile

Add a one-tap check-in to the shade you already pull down a hundred times a day:

  1. Swipe down twice to open Quick Settings, then tap the edit (pencil) button.
  2. Find the “Check In to Wayfield” tile and drag it up into your active tiles.
  3. The tile shows your current session as its subtitle; tap it to check in. When there's nothing on, it reads “No session.”

Long-press shortcuts

Touch and hold the Wayfield app icon for quick jumps without opening the app first: Check In and Schedule for everyone, plus Roster for leaders and Dashboard for organizers.

For leaders

Leading a session? The widget shows “[Workshop] · Leading” and your roster progress — “X/Y checked in”, color-coded as it fills — and taps through to your schedule.

Good to know

  • The widget fills in when you open the app's Home tab, then refreshes in the background — so open Wayfield once after adding it.
  • Voice actions are iPhone-only; on Android the widget, Quick Settings tile, and long-press shortcuts are your fast paths. (iPhone users: see Siri & Shortcuts.)
