Lock Screen and Control Center Widgets
Last Updated:
Sofa offers lock screen accessories and Control Center widgets so you can check in on your media without even opening the app.
Lock Screen Widgets
Several of Sofa’s widgets are available in lock screen sizes. Long-press your lock screen, tap “Customize,” and add Sofa widgets above or below the clock.
Available Lock Screen Widgets
| Widget | Circular | Rectangular | Inline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Pinned Items | Yes | Yes | — |
| Up Next | Yes | Yes | — |
| Enjoying | — | Yes | — |
| Single Enjoying | Yes | Yes | Yes |

Lock Screen Styles
Circular — A small icon or progress ring. For Single Enjoying, it shows a progress percentage or count badge. For Single Event, it shows a countdown number.
Rectangular — Shows a title alongside a progress bar or countdown. Great for seeing both what you’re tracking and how far along you are.
Inline — A single line of text, like “Breaking Bad - 52%” or “Vacation - 3 days”. Fits neatly into the lock screen’s inline widget area. Available for Single Enjoying and Single Event widgets.

| The Pile | Opens The Pile — your quick-save area for items you haven’t organized yet |
