About TerminalWidget
Scripters rejoice! Now you can have output from your scripts, AppleScripts, and Shortcuts display in widgets on iOS (and sync to and from your Mac via iCloud). You can see progress indicators, charts, graphs, icons, tables, and more. All controllable via Shortcuts or with a URL scheme (and a CLI on Mac). This is a universal purchase for the Mac, iOS, and Watch apps.
What’s new
Version 2.1.9 · Updated September 30, 2026
### CHANGED - Widget gallery description mentions Home Screen and Lock Screen sizes - Open at Login no longer shows a redundant "Open at Login enabled/disabled" note under the On/Off toggle; failures are still reported ### NEW - Lock Screen widgets support rectangular and circular sizes on iPhone using the same target as the Home Screen widget - Lock Screen rectangular shows text-first content (icon plus stripped text, optional progress), then progress, image, or a mini chart when text is absent - Lock Screen circular shows a progress ring when percent is set, otherwise the SF Symbol icon or a letter fallback - Widget Recipes item in the menu bar menu opens the recipes page ### IMPROVED - Lock screen images load once and fall back to the empty state if decode fails - Lock Screen text starts larger and scales down to fit, with a higher ceiling when --fit-text is set ### FIXED - Lock screen text strips ANSI from widget titles as well as body text - Lock Screen short text no longer stays tiny when --fit-text only bumped the text style - iCloud sync from the Mac no longer marks a widget as synced until CloudKit confirms the upload, so iPhone widgets stop getting stuck on an older revision - Running the app binary with no arguments while TerminalWidget is already running no longer launches a second menu bar instance; it prints the help text to stderr and exits with status 2 - terminal-widget symlink with no arguments now correctly detects whether the app is running instead of always reporting that it is
