- 📦TerminalWidget updated to version 2.1.12### CHANGED
- Widget gallery description mentions Home Screen and Lock Screen sizes
- Open at Login no longer shows a redundant "Open at Login enabled/disabled" note under the On/Off toggle; failures are still reported
### NEW
- Lock Screen widgets support rectangular and circular sizes on iPhone using the same target as the Home Screen widget
- Lock Screen rectangular shows text-first content (icon plus stripped text, optional progress), then progress, image, or a mini chart when text is absent
- Lock Screen circular shows a progress ring when percent is set, otherwise the SF Symbol icon or a letter fallback
- Widget Recipes item in the menu bar menu opens the recipes page
### IMPROVED
- Lock screen images load once and fall back to the empty state if decode fails
- Lock Screen text starts larger and scales down to fit, with a higher ceiling when --fit-text is set
### FIXED
- Lock screen text strips ANSI from widget titles as well as body text
- Lock Screen short text no longer stays tiny when --fit-text only bumped the text style
- iCloud sync from the Mac no longer marks a widget as synced until CloudKit confirms the upload, so iPhone widgets stop getting stuck on an older revision
- Running the app binary with no arguments while TerminalWidget is already running no longer launches a second menu bar instance; it prints the help text to stderr and exits with status 2
- terminal-widget symlink with no arguments now correctly detects whether the app is running instead of always reporting that it is… more - 📦TerminalWidget updated to version 2.1.10### CHANGED

faster than 0% of Developer Tools apps
Review momentum (0-100) blends how fast the app collects ratings compared with other apps in its category (60%), whether that pace is speeding up (25%) and what recent raters give it (15%; recent stars well below lifetime pull it down). Ratings counts are read daily. A jump usually means a launch, a feature, ads or a new review prompt.
