Why a widget matters at 3 a.m.
Opening an app means unlocking the phone, finding the icon and waiting for a screen. With a baby in one arm, that is too many steps. The Ella widget puts the buttons you use most on the home screen itself, so a feed or a diaper takes one tap and the phone goes back down.
What the widget shows
The top of the widget shows the time since the last feed started, how long the baby has been awake or asleep, and the time since the last diaper, updated as time passes. Below it are the latest entries, each with an Edit button for a wrong tap, and your quick buttons, for example Left, Right, Bottle, Sleep and diapers. When a timer is running, the widget shows it, with buttons to pause it or to finish and save it.
Lock screen, Quick Settings and your watch
A running nursing, sleep or tummy-time timer also appears on the lock screen, so you can check it without unlocking. Quick Settings tiles start the most common entries from the pull-down panel. On a Wear OS watch, Ella has a tile for one-tap logging and a complication that shows the time since the last feed on the watch face.
Shortcuts on the widget
Add a YouTube lullaby, a Spotify playlist or your baby monitor app as a shortcut on the widget, so the things you reach for at night are one tap away too. The shortcuts guide shows how, step by step.
Choose your buttons
Smart fills your six buttons from what you logged in the past week, and buttons already in place keep their spot. Nursing buttons show a small Next side hint, and Bottle uses your usual amount. To set the order yourself, open Family & settings > Feeding > Quick buttons and choose Manual: for example, Left and Right in two slots, with Bottle, Sleep, Wet and Dirty in the other four. Save, and the same layout appears on Today and on the widget.

Is the widget available on iPhone?
Not yet. The iPhone app is coming soon. Until then, iPhone users can use Ella in Safari, and the widget is part of the Android app.
Does the widget work without internet?
Yes. Entries are saved on the phone first and shared with your family when you are back online.
Can I choose which buttons appear?
Yes. Open Family & settings > Feeding > Quick buttons and choose Manual to pick and order them yourself, or Smart to let Ella fill them from what you logged in the past week. On Today, the Edit buttons pencil next to More activities opens the same editor.
Does my partner see widget entries?
Yes. Everything you log from the widget goes to the shared journal at once.
