About this app

Put what matters most on your home screen — the time, the weather, your next meeting, the headlines you follow, today's tasks, your portfolio — in one highly customisable widget suite.

Every Chronus widget shares the same lean background services, so you get rich, up-to-date information without the battery and data cost of running a separate widget for each. Mix and match the widgets you want; the ones you don't use stay dormant and consume no resources.

Widgets included
• Flex and Flex Analog — flagship all-in-one widgets with clock, calendar, weather, news, tasks, stocks and DashClock extensions
• Clock+ variants — digital, analog, dash, and combined clock+weather layouts
• Pixel and Pixel 2 — clean, at-a-glance clock and weather
• News, Tasks and Weather — dedicated single-purpose widgets
• Dash — host for any DashClock extensions you like

Highlights
• Deep customisation — fonts, sizes, colours, alignments and layouts for almost every element
• Material You dynamic colour support on Android 12+
• Weather from 12 providers: OpenWeatherMap, AccuWeather, Met Norway, The Weather Company, Weatherbit, WeatherAPI, Visual Crossing, Tomorrow.io, WeatherStack, Pirate Weather, Open-Meteo and MeasureSpace
• News from any RSS source or Hacker News, with built-in bookmarks to save articles for later and a dedicated Saved view
• Google Tasks with due-date notifications and quick-complete actions
• Scrollable agenda-style calendar with colour-coded upcoming events and bold highlighting
• Weather, Calendar and Tasks system notifications
• Backup and restore to local storage or Google Drive
• Available as a weather source for LineageOS and derived ROMs

Pro features (one-time in-app purchase)
• Additional widgets: Forecast, Calendar, Clock+ Forecast and Stocks
• Additional weather providers: Weather.com and Wunderground
• Additional news providers: Bluesky
• Custom clock fonts for digital and world clock widgets
• Additional task providers: Microsoft Exchange, Evernote and Todoist
• Unlimited DashClock extensions (the free version includes two)
• Many more style, colour, alignment and layout options across every widget
• Custom tap actions to launch any app or activity
• Stock price alerts
• Daydream screensaver

Good to know
• Lock-screen widgets are native on Android 16+; on Android 5–15 they require a third-party lock-screen app
• Permissions details: https://www.dvtonder.com/privacy.html

I've had the Pro version for some time and really like it, especially with the Magical HD icon set for the weather. Only issue is that the location never updates unless you do it manually. You can literally be getting the weather from a hundred miles away or more. I'm currently at home and it's showing the weather for where I work 75 miles away, and I haven't been there for 6 hours.

Good and stable, but not as complete as I had hoped. I cannot add many of the extensions I wanted such as system info/data/battery as they are not 'world-readable'. If you can clarify how this can be resolved I would be happy to amend my rating - otherwise I will be forced to look elsewhere at other apps.

You will have to search for and fine the DashClock app and use it in Chronus for the Extension host. It has however no longet available on the Play store and when it was, was abandonware, not having been updated in > 2 years. It no longer properly works on modern versions of Android either unfortunately.

Great App. Good choice of widgets and display options. However, I have no clock alarms set and my home screen widget is showing an upcoming alarm. This is probably related to another App, but I can't find out which one and Chronus doesn't give any other information. Frustrating .. Update: I un-installed Chronus, rebooted the phone and then re-installed. Now working fine.
