Bring back old widget

wondering if there might be a possibility to bring it back or integrate its functionality into the current widgets? I believe many long-time users, like myself, would greatly appreciate it.
I have attached an image of the widget that i am talking about below, with this widget you can press on individual days and it gave you an overview of what is due on that day without even opening up the actual timepage app.

I agree with Pete. I also started using Timepage because of that feature. It made my life so much easier. The monthly view that is available now is not practical.

That’s a bummer but I appreciate the response Simon. That widget functionality is one of the big things that drew me to Timepage, so if there’s any way at all to bring it back, it would be much appreciated.
If the widget shape is the issue, could you add the event info to the smaller two week widget? I’d take that over the current options.

Hi Omar. Thanks for your message. Apple have removed the old style widgets completely in iOS18, so unfortunately it is no longer possible developers to have those widgets in their apps.
That portrait rectangle shape was really useful in that we could have the heatmap at the top, and the event details underneath, and it would fit on an iPhone screen. That shape of widget is not possible now, so we're left with the large square widget on the iPhone, or the landscape rectangle shape on iPad. Neither suits that layout, but you can get most of the way there using the large (square) Today widget on iPhone which has the arrow buttons for changing date. The Extra Large Today widget on iPad does have the heatmap next to the day's events, and you can tap the heatmap to change to a particular date.
Having said that, we'll see what else we can do to try to fill the gap left by the removal of the old widgets.
