Widgets

What happens when you tap a widget

Open the app, open that widget, follow a link, or run a Shortcut.

Each widget has a tap action you choose while building it:

  • Open This Widget — opens Air Widgets on that widget’s own screen, drawn large, with the records behind it. This is the default and usually the most useful.
  • Open App — opens Air Widgets to your widget library.
  • Custom URL — opens any web address you enter.
  • Run Shortcut — runs one of your Shortcuts by name.

If Air Fill is installed on the same device, a tap can also open one of your Air Fill forms.

A note on the small size: iOS treats a small widget as a single tap target, so the whole tile does the one action. Medium and large widgets behave the same way in Air Widgets — one action per widget.
