Home Screen & Lock Screen widgets

NAS Guard provides two widget extensions: one for the Home Screen and one for the Lock Screen. Widgets show live status at a glance.

Home Screen widgets

Three sizes are available:

  • Small — Status gauge (alert count), CPU usage, memory usage, and CPU temperature pills.
  • Medium — Three gauges (CPU, RAM, temperature) with pool usage pills and alert summary.
  • Large — Server header with alert summary, three gauges (CPU, RAM, temperature), and up to three pool rows with usage bars.

Lock Screen widgets

Three accessory styles are available:

  • Circular — Gauge showing alert count with server name.
  • Rectangular — Server name, status indicator, and key metrics (CPU, memory, pools).
  • Inline — Compact one-line status with alert count.

How to add a widget

  1. Long-press your Home Screen or Lock Screen.
  2. Tap the + button (Home Screen) or Add Widgets (Lock Screen).
  3. Search for NAS Guard.
  4. Choose a widget size and tap Add Widget.

Live updates

Widgets are updated via push notifications from the NAS Guard Agent. When the Agent detects a change on your TrueNAS (e.g. a new alert or pool degradation), the widget refreshes automatically.
