Every Chronus widget shares the same lean background services, so you get rich, up-to-date information without the battery and data cost of running a separate widget for each. Mix and match the widgets you want; the ones you don't use stay dormant and consume no resources. Widgets included • Flex and Flex Analog — flagship all-in-one widgets with clock, calendar, weather, news, tasks, stocks and DashClock extensions • Clock+ variants — digital, analog, dash, and combined clock+weather layouts • Pixel and Pixel 2 — clean, at-a-glance clock and weather • News, Tasks and Weather — dedicated single-purpose widgets • Dash — host for any DashClock extensions you like Highlights • Deep customisation — fonts, sizes, colours, alignments and layouts for almost every element • Material You dynamic colour support on Android 12+ • Weather from 12 providers: OpenWeatherMap, AccuWeather, Met Norway, The Weather Company, Weatherbit, WeatherAPI, Visual Crossing, Tomorrow.io, WeatherStack, Pirate Weather, Open-Meteo and MeasureSpace • News from any RSS source or Hacker News, with built-in bookmarks to save articles for later and a dedicated Saved view • Google Tasks with due-date notifications and quick-complete actions • Scrollable agenda-style calendar with colour-coded upcoming events and bold highlighting • Weather, Calendar and Tasks system notifications • Backup and restore to local storage or Google Drive • Available as a weather source for LineageOS and derived ROMs Pro features (one-time in-app purchase) • Additional widgets: Forecast, Calendar, Clock+ Forecast and Stocks • Additional weather providers: Weather.com and Wunderground • Additional news providers: Bluesky • Custom clock fonts for digital and world clock widgets • Additional task providers: Microsoft Exchange, Evernote and Todoist • Unlimited DashClock extensions (the free version includes two) • Many more style, colour, alignment and layout options across every widget • Custom tap actions to launch any app or activity • Stock price alerts • Daydream screensaver Good to know • Lock-screen widgets are native on Android 16+; on Android 5–15 they require a third-party lock-screen app • Permissions details: https://www.dvtonder.com/privacy.html Credits Chronus is developed by David van Tonder with contributions from Danny Baumann and Jorge Ruesga.
