RationHome Screen widgets (iPhone)
Ration for iPhone includes three widgets: Supply, Eat, and Today. To add one, touch and hold the Home Screen, tap Edit → Add Widget, then search for Ration.
Sign in in the Ration app first. A signed-out widget shows Open Ration to sign in. Signing out of the app, or signing in as someone else, clears widget data.
| Widget | Sizes | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| Supply | Small, Medium, Large, Lock Screen | Unchecked items on your Live Supply. Small shows the count and the first item. Tap a row (Medium: 2, Large: 5) to check it off; it shows Bought and stays on Live Supply until you dock in the app. On Medium and Large, + opens Live Supply ready to type. Lock Screen shows the count (or Nothing to buy) and up to two names, and is not tappable. |
| Eat | Small, Medium, Large | Food from Cargo: recent items, or one Cargo tag chosen in Edit Widget. Small is a glance. Tap a counted item (slice, can, pack, unit) on Medium (2 rows) or Large (4 rows) to eat one: it shows Eaten, takes one from Cargo, and logs a private serving when Macro Tracking is on. Gram, ml, and dozen items show Choose amount and open Ration. |
| Today | Small, Medium, Large | Today's planned meals by Breakfast, Lunch, Snack, and Dinner, marked Cooked when done. Small shows the next meal, Nothing planned, or All cooked. With a calorie goal, Medium and Large show Calories remaining; Large adds Protein, Carbs, and Fat. Read-only. |
Each widget has an Appearance option (System, Light, Dark) in Edit Widget.
Widgets refresh about once an hour, when you leave Ration, and after a tap on the widget. Couldn't update or Offline means the last refresh failed; open Ration to retry. Couldn't log that bite means Ration could not confirm an Eat tap; open Cargo in the app to check before tapping again.
