About

Backtick turns your home and lock screen into a terminal. Not a picture of one — a working one. Panels drawn with hairline rules, a tab bar you actually tap, a cursor that genuinely blinks, and your real life inside it: calendar, reminders, weather, health, battery. THE WIDGETS • Terminal — five panels (overview / tasks / calendar / weather / system), switched by tapping tabs right on the widget • Console — a navigable menu: arrows move, enter selects, esc backs out, without ever opening an app • Clock — a live 7-segment face with ticking seconds, at zero battery cost • Year Progress — every day of the year as a dot; watch it fill • Elapsed — day, week, month and year as block gauges • Month — the full month with event markers • Timeline — upcoming events with durations drawn to scale • Steps — today's count, distance and energy, with the week as bars • Moon — tonight's phase as a dot matrix • bit — a resident terminal creature. It has moods, it types little lines, its heartbeat blinks, and it reacts when you poke it. Bond over time. LOCK SCREEN Next-up with live countdown, open tasks, weather with sun times, elapsed gauges, four circular gauges, and an inline status line. BUILT LIKE A TOOL • Tick reminders off from the widget — writes straight to Apple Reminders • Live clocks, countdowns and a blinking cursor with zero widget refreshes • Five accent phosphors: amber, green, red, paper white, cyan • True black. Made for OLED and dark home screens. PRIVATE BY CONSTRUCTION • No account, no sign-in, no server — there isn't one • Calendar, reminders, health and device stats are read on-device via Apple's frameworks • Weather comes from Apple Weather using your approximate location • Nothing is collected. There is nowhere to collect it to. FREE / PRO The Terminal widget, Next Up, the inline status line and the amber accent are free forever. One purchase unlocks everything else — no subscription, no upsell treadmill.
