Widgets and Shortcuts
Revisit a note from the Home Screen, or capture a thought with Shortcuts.
Booko’s widget and Shortcuts support let you review notes and capture thoughts without opening the app.
Add the widget
- Touch and hold an empty area of the Home Screen to enter edit mode.
- Tap + in the top left and search for Booko.
- Pick a size and add the widget to your Home Screen.
The widget rotates through your highlights and thoughts over time. Tapping it opens that exact note in the app.
Shortcuts
Booko supports Shortcuts, so you can search for Booko in the Shortcuts app and build writing a thought into your own routines — for example:
- a “capture a thought” icon on your Home Screen;
- an automation that reminds you to review at a set time;
- dictating a line through Siri.
Troubleshooting
The widget content is not updating. The system decides when widgets refresh. Wait a little, or open the app once.
The widget is empty. There is nothing to show yet. Import some notes or write your first thought.
