1 - Set up the app (Only required once)
Before staring to use the widget, first open the app and allow access to your calendar.
This only has to be done once, on the first time after you install the app.
2 - Open the widget library
Once you have set up the app, return to the home screen on your iPhone or iPad.
Press and hold in any blank area of your home screen until the icons start to move and you see a + button in the top left corner. Press on the + button to open the widget library.
3 - Find and add the widget
Once the widget library is open, you can either search for the widget by typing "Save to Cal", or scrolling to the list of apps that offer widgets, until you see "Save to Cal".
Tap on "Save to Cal" in the list. You will see a preview of the widget.
Press the "Add Widget" button to add it to your home screen. Once added, the widget can be dragged to another page or to a different location within the app icons on that page.
4 - Use the widget
Once the widget is added, it will automatically show the value of the current active timer, or indicate if the timer is currently inactive.
You can press on the widget to start the timer, or to view the status of the active timer.
Using the widget will allow you to quickly and easily see if the timer is active while using your iPhone or iPad, even when the app is not currently visible on the screen.
