Widgets and Control Center
Fregata Mobile’s widgets keep your cameras a glance away, on the Home Screen, the Lock Screen and in Today View, and its controls put filters and snoozes in Control Center, on the Lock Screen and on the Action button.

The widgets
Section titled “The widgets”
| Widget | Shows | Sizes | Edit Widget |
|---|---|---|---|

| Notifications | The filter in force and any snoozes, with buttons to switch filters or snooze every alert. | Small, medium; Lock Screen | How long to snooze for |
Tapping a widget opens the app where it makes sense: an alert’s recording, a camera’s live view, or Review. Alerts to Review counts the same thing as Review’s dots: an alert stops counting once you open it, here, in Frigate’s web interface, or on another device signed in to the same account.
The Notifications widget’s buttons work without opening the app: tap a filter to make it the one in force, or Snooze to quiet every alert for the time set in Edit Widget. While a snooze is on, it shows until when, with End Snooze. This iPhone only
Widgets refresh on iOS’s schedule, not instantly, so a widget can be a few minutes behind. The pictures come from your server, so away from home they need your Away address.
Controls
Section titled “Controls”Add them in Control Center (swipe down from the top right, then + › Add a Control), on the Lock Screen in place of the torch or camera, or on the Action button in Settings › Action Button. Search for Fregata.
| Control | What it does | Set up with |
|---|---|---|
| Notification Filter | Turns a filter on, and off again to another filter or none. Its name and icon show which is in force. | Filter, and When Off |
| Snooze Alerts | Snoozes every alert, or the cameras you choose, for a set time. Turn it off to end the snooze early. | Cameras, and For |
| Snooze For… | Opens the app to choose how long to snooze every alert, or until when. | — |
Each filter’s Icon, chosen in Settings › Notification Filters, is what the control shows, so you can tell at a glance which filter is in force.
Apple Watch
Section titled “Apple Watch”The watch has its own complication, Alerts: how many alerts are waiting to be reviewed, and when the last one was. See Apple Watch.
