Android home-screen widget

Pin the Salli widget, control amount visibility, and use its quick-add action.

The widget shows a bounded Safe to Spend snapshot without opening the encrypted ledger.

Android launcher showing the Salli widget with amounts hidden for privacy

Add the widget​

  1. Open More → Settings → Home screen widget.
  2. Review the privacy note.
  3. Tap Add to home screen if the launcher supports direct pinning.
  4. Otherwise, use the launcher's normal widget picker.

Amount privacy​

Amounts are hidden by default. Enable Show amounts on widget as a separate, persistent choice. Changing this switch immediately republishes the snapshot.

Data in the widget​

The native widget receives only what it needs to display:

  • Safe to Spend today;
  • spent today;
  • spent this cycle;
  • cycle context; and
  • amount-visibility preference.

It does not receive raw SMS, merchant, account, receipt, or transaction-level evidence, and it does not open SQLCipher itself.

Refresh​

The app republishes after hydration, transaction or plan changes, backup restore, deletion, or privacy changes. The widget can recompute the daily allowance across midnight from its bounded snapshot.

Quick add​

The widget's add action opens the full transaction editor on warm and cold app starts. One back action returns to Home.

Availability​

The widget is Android-only in the current implementation and depends on launcher support.
