Home Screen Widget

Strimma includes a home screen widget that shows your glucose at a glance without opening the app.

Adding the Widget

  1. Long-press on an empty area of your home screen
  2. Tap Widgets
  3. Find Strimma in the widget list
  4. Drag the widget to your home screen
  5. Optionally configure the widget appearance

What the Widget Shows

  • Glucose value — large, color-coded text (cyan/amber/red/gray)
  • Direction arrow — trend direction
  • Delta — how much glucose changed
  • Mini graph — a compact glucose history graph

Tap the widget to open the Strimma app.

Widget Configuration

When you add the widget (or tap the configuration option), you can adjust:

  • Background opacity — how transparent the widget background is, from fully transparent to fully opaque

Widget Updates

The widget updates automatically whenever Strimma receives a new glucose reading. Updates are near-instant — the widget reflects the same data as the main app and notification.

If the widget shows stale data, check that:

  • Strimma's foreground service is running (notification visible)
  • Battery optimization is disabled for Strimma
  • Your CGM app is posting notifications
