Here’s a quick walkthrough of the widgets and complications in Pillow:
Home Screen Widgets
On your iPhone and iPad, the Home Screen widgets come in both small and medium sizes, ensuring flexibility to suit your layout. The Latest Sleep Session widget instantly displays details about your most recent session, while the Sleep Rings widget provides a dynamic visual summary of your overall sleep quality. These widgets are designed to deliver essential information quickly—so you can see how well you slept without opening the app.
Lock Screen Widgets
Your Lock Screen transforms into a hub for sleep insights with Pillow’s Lock Screen widgets. These include a Sleep Summary that encapsulates your nightly performance, alongside visual representations like Sleep Rings, and numerical metrics such as Sleep Quality and Sleep Duration. Quick-action buttons like Start Tracking and Launch Pillow further enhance convenience, allowing you to initiate a sleep session or open the app instantly, even when your device is locked.
Standby Mode Widgets
Even when your device is idle, Pillow keeps you updated. In Standby Mode, dedicated widgets continue to show essential data like Sleep Rings and the Latest Sleep Session, ensuring that your sleep information is always accessible—even during those quiet moments when you’re not actively using your device.
Apple Watch Smart Stack Widgets
For Apple Watch users, Pillow offers Smart Stack widgets that pack a punch in a compact space. The stack typically includes a Sleep Summary, along with a triplet display featuring Sleep Rings and Sleep Duration. Additional widgets showcase Sleep Quality and further details on sleep duration. These smart stacks allow you to monitor your sleep performance directly from your wrist, making it easier than ever to stay on top of your sleep metrics throughout the day.

This means you can effortlessly check your sleep data with just a glance—perfect for busy days when every second counts.
Live Activities: Real-Time Sleep Tracking
Pillow supports Live Activities on both the iPhone and Apple Watch. As soon as you start a sleep session, Live Activities activate to display key information in real time. On your iPhone, you can see the remaining time until your alarm, and even control the playback of sleep aid sounds directly from the Live Activity. On your Apple Watch, the Live Activity integrates into your Smart Stack, showing both the alarm time and the status of your sleep tracking (active or paused). This real-time feature ensures you’re always in the loop about your sleep progress.
