Sizes and what each one shows
There are two widgets. Deckloud shows due cards, and Deckloud Focus shows the next cards in your Focus queue. Both come in several sizes.
Small (free).
Due cards for one board or view, with full card content.
Medium and large (Pro).
More room for due cards. The large widget counts overdue, today, tomorrow, and upcoming cards, then lists the next ones.
Extra Large on iPad (Pro).
A full due list or board on the iPad Home Screen.
Lock Screen (Pro).
Inline, circular, and rectangular layouts.

Set up a widget from Settings
Since Deckloud 1.3.11, Settings > Widgets & shortcuts previews each size and lists the Home Screen steps.
1. Pick a board or view.
In Deckloud, open Settings > Widgets & shortcuts. Preview the sizes and choose what the widget shows.
2. Add the widget.
Touch and hold an empty spot on the Home Screen, tap Edit, then Add Widget. Search for Deckloud and pick a size.
3. Change what it shows.
Touch and hold the widget and tap Edit Widget to pick another board or view.
4. After switching accounts.
Open Deckloud once after you switch accounts. The widget then shows the new account's cards.
03
A setup that works
Show due work, not a whole board. Put one widget where you already look, such as your first Home Screen. Overdue and today's cards show up on their own, and a tap opens the card. Today handles the daily review, and Quick Capture takes in new work.
04
Your server stays the source
Widgets read the data the app has already synced from your Nextcloud server. They have no service of their own and send no board content to Deckloud.
