About Toggl Widget

Toggl Widget is an iPhone app for people who already track time with Toggl Track. It places the running timer on the lock screen as a Live Activity, so you can see what you are working on without unlocking the phone or opening Toggl.

You start a timer in Toggl Track on the web, desktop or mobile, then open the widget app once and the timer appears on the lock screen. It shows the description, project name and live elapsed time, and a Stop button ends the timer in Toggl directly. Setup is a four-step process of logging in with a Toggl account, starting a timer and opening the app.

The developer says the API token stays on the device and is encrypted on its servers only to push updates. The app is free to download and works with an existing Toggl Track account. It is an independent product and states it is not affiliated with Toggl.
