Version history

HOME SCREEN WIDGETS

• Four new widgets you can add to your Home Screen in Small, Medium, or Large, each laid out properly for the size you pick.
• Four styles: Countdown, Progress, Month, and Up Next.
• Six color themes: Midnight, Ocean, Sunset, Forest, Orchid, and Snow.
• Touch and hold a widget and tap Edit Widget to change its event, style, or theme without opening the app. Requires iOS 17 or later.
• A new Homescreen tab to set up each widget, with a live preview at every size.
• The Widgets tab is now called Lockscreen, so it is clear which widgets it configures.

NEW LANGUAGES

• Calendar for Lockscreen is now available in Spanish, French, German, Japanese, and Simplified Chinese.
• Widgets are translated too, so your Lock Screen and Home Screen match the rest of your device.

IMPORT FROM YOUR CALENDAR

• Premium users can turn events already in the Calendar app into countdowns. We only read your calendar, show the next occurrence of each event, and suggest a matching icon.

ICLOUD SYNC STATUS

• A new screen in Settings shows whether sync is working, what is stored in iCloud, how much space it uses, and when your device last synced.

FIXES AND POLISH

• Fixed widgets refreshing unreliably. Widgets no longer trigger a reload of every other widget when they update, which makes Lock Screen widgets more dependable too.
• Fixed widget previews in the app being squashed. They now render at true widget proportions.
• Every widget style now shows its own icon in the style picker, instead of a blank space.
• Fixed a crash that could happen once your selected event date had passed.
• Widgets load faster and no longer wait on iCloud.
• Updated the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use to cover Home Screen widgets and calendar access.

WHAT'S NEW IN 2.1

• New Home Screen Quick Action: Long-press the app icon and tap "Create Event" to jump straight into the New Event screen.
• New Deep Link Support: Added `lscalendar://create-event` to open the app directly to New Event.
• Monthly Calendar Widget Upgrades: The Month style now renders a proper monthly grid with current-month dates only for a cleaner lock screen look.
• Better Month Preview in App: The in-app large widget preview now matches the month grid behavior and has improved alignment and spacing.
• Clearer Widget Descriptions: Widget copy now updates by style type, with improved Month wording and better non-countdown explanations.

BUG FIXES & POLISH

• Improved month grid layout behavior to avoid clipping and stale preview states.
• Refined month style rendering performance for smoother style selection.
• Fixed URL open handling to route deep links in-app correctly.
