Widgets and Live Activity

Review and act on today's work from widgets, Live Activities, App Shortcuts, Spotlight, Handoff, and Focus filters.

What it supports

  • The Today widget supports quick open, add, and complete actions.
  • A Live Activity can show the current focus task on iPhone, while reusing the current activity and avoiding repeated same-day authorization requests.
  • Search, shortcuts, and handoff between devices give you more ways to find and act on tasks.

Common questions about Widgets and Live Activity

Why does myDailyTasks ask to allow Live Activities?

Apple controls the Live Activities permission sheet. myDailyTasks requests it when starting the current-focus Live Activity, then reuses that activity and makes no more than one automatic start attempt per planner day so routine refreshes do not repeatedly ask.
