## What is Checkered?

Checkered is an INDEPENDENT, FAN-MADE widget app for stock car racing fans. It is NOT affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any racing league. All third-party names, marks, and trademarks belong to their respective owners.

It puts the next race on your home screen: track, time, broadcast info, and a countdown — across home and lock screens, with photography, schedules, and live data sourced from publicly available APIs.

Built for fans who want one-glance answers — what track, what time, what channel — without opening a heavy companion app. Every widget is live. Every widget earns its home screen real estate.

WIDGETS FOR EVERY SURFACE

Home screen:
• Next Race — Small and Medium widgets with aerial track photography
• Race Week — Medium and Large weekend session schedule across all three national stock car series
• Last Race Results — the podium from the most recent race
• Top Drivers — current championship leaders with photos
• Your Driver — follow your favorite racer with current rank, points, and last finish

Lock screen:
• Inline — race name, countdown, network, above the clock
• Rectangular — bold race headline with date, time, and TV partner
• Circular Gauge — countdown arc, with playoff-position option
• All lock-screen widgets mirror to Apple Watch via the iOS Smart Stack

FEATURES

• 26 stock car tracks with licensed aerial photography from Wikimedia Commons
• Sponsor-named events when applicable
• Three national stock car series: Cup, Xfinity, and Truck
• Race number in season context

• Time zone picker — see times in your local zone or any of the major US race zones
• Series filter — follow all series or just one
• Driver tracking with photos and standings
• Three-step widget onboarding flow on first launch
• Zero data collection. No accounts. No advertising. No tracking.
