- danpalmer 6y agoDo you mean dashboard widgets? Dashboard hasn't been actively developed in maybe 10 years now. If you were still using it I'm interested to know why – I stopped because it felt clunky to use and there weren't many widgets. I'm not sure it's much of a criticism of an app if they don't have a Dashboard widget.
- mikewhy 6y agoWidgets in Big Sur are not the same as the old Dashboard: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211789 https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT211789
- danpalmer 6y agoYes I'm aware. The comment referred to widget removal in Big Sur though, and the only "widgets" I can think of that were removed were Dashboard widgets. Big Sur/iOS 14 widgets don't support interactivity beyond single clicks, so I don't see any way a Numi widget would be of any benefit.
- growt 6y agoIt has a status bar mode where it opens in a "pop-up" beneath the status bar icon.
- mromanuk 6y agoWhat do you mean? You can use widgets in Big Sur, WidgetKit it's an unified API across all devices (iOS and MacOS).
- mikewhy 6y agoThe calculator widget is no more. IIRC (I haven't looked into how widgets are built) there's no way for a calculator widget to work. They work in a way where the developer just gets to update some data on a schedule.
- mromanuk 6y agoYes, you are right about that. Apple doesn't allow it to work as a mini app. I suspect, they will unlock more APIs to make Widget more interactive on later versions.
- behnamoh 6y agoI removed the widget "feature" on El Capitan years ago. It was useless and better solutions are available.
