Adding an AteMate Widget

A list of available Ate widgets and how to add them to the home screen to make journaling easier and faster

Written by Tom

AteMate offers various widgets to make both journaling and self-reflection easier and faster.

Adding a Widget

On the more recent Apple iPhones, a widget can be added by long tapping on the screen or by scrolling to the bottom of the Dashboard.

AteMate offers various widgets to make journaling easier:

  • There is a Quick Meal Add widget that will open up the camera view. (Adding a text-only meal or importing a photo are also options on this screen.)

  • The Capture Menu widget will open up the capture menu that lists all the journaling options the app supports.

  • For self-reflection, there is a Last Meal widget in various sizes. Long-tapping on this, once added, opens up the Edit Widget option to customize the widget behavior. You will also see the time since the last meal or the On-Path percentage for the week (available in 3 different sizes).

  • A Last Meal & Stats widget displays both the last meal and weekly stats in a single widget. Again, there are some customization options through the standard Edit function.

  • Add the Movement widget to quickly add movement to your path.

  • Add the Beverages widget to quickly add beverages to your path.

Customizing the appearance of the widget from within AteMate

Customize the appearance of the widget on your phone by going into Settings > Preferences > Widgets. Select Dark mode, Light mode, or automatic.

Other widget options:

Quick Access from the Lock Screen:

You can open AteMate directly from the bottom of your lock screen, just like you would with your camera.

Add AteMate to Control Center:

Prefer to keep AteMate in your Control Center? You can add it for instant access whenever you need it.

Dark Mode & Icon Customization:

We’ve also added a dark icon mode and icon shading options, letting you personalize your experience even more.
