2.0.0
July 25, 2026
Live Activities end. Widgets stay. Aivi 2.0 adds persistent widgets - tiles for your Lock Screen, Home Screen, watch face, and StandBy that keep score long after the activity is done. Same API, one request, different noun. WIDGETS - Ten templates: progress, gauge, trend, battery, countdown, list, electricity prices, energy flow, budget, and status - Widget Board: several of your widgets together in one grid - Tinted appearance that matches your Home Screen, plus StandBy support for the nightstand APPLE WATCH - Browse your widgets in the watch app and add them as complications - corner, circular, rectangular, and inline - Smart Stack: time-critical widgets (a countdown near its target, prices near a peak) rise to the top on their own - Tap a complication to jump straight to that widget SHARING - Widgets share like activities: send a link, and their devices stay in lockstep with yours. Subscribers never pay Widgets require iOS 26. Live Activities keep working from iOS 18 — nothing changes if you stay on activities.
