Use Vertask Home Screen Widgets Last updated: Sep 27, 2026
Vertask widgets let you see your ticket workload directly from your iPhone or iPad Home Screen—without opening the app.
Widgets can show ticket counts, individual tickets, and due dates. Tap a count or ticket to jump directly into Vertask.
What can the widget show?
Depending on the widget size, you can see:
Ticket counts by status
Individual tickets
Due dates
Your current Vertask workload
Available widget sizes include:
Small
Medium
Large
Extra Large on iPad
Larger widgets can display more information.
Add a Vertask Widget
On your iPhone or iPad:
Touch and hold an empty area of the Home Screen.
Tap Add Widget (+).
Search for Vertask.
Select the widget size you want.
Tap Add Widget.
Move the widget to your preferred location.
Tap Done.
Interact with the Widget
The widget isn't just for viewing information—you can use it to jump directly to the relevant part of Vertask.
Tap a ticket
Tap any ticket shown in the widget to open that ticket in Vertask.
Tap a ticket count
Tap a status count to open the corresponding filtered ticket list.
For example, tapping an Overdue count takes you to your overdue tickets.
Widget Sizes
Small
The Small widget provides a quick overview of your ticket counts along with a selection of tickets.
Medium
The Medium widget provides more space for ticket information and includes ticket counts alongside your workload.
Large
The Large widget provides a more detailed view of your workload, including multiple tickets and their due dates.
Extra Large — iPad
On supported iPads, the Extra Large widget uses the additional screen space to display tickets across two columns.
Your Information Stays Up to Date
Vertask widgets automatically refresh periodically so the information on your Home Screen stays current.
The widget may also display cached information when a fresh update isn't immediately available. This helps prevent the widget from simply appearing blank while waiting for an update.
Your Tickets Are Kept Separate
Widget information is associated with the currently signed-in Vertask account.
When you sign out, or when the account credentials are no longer valid, the cached ticket information is cleared. This prevents tickets from a previous account from remaining visible on the Home Screen.
Text Size and Accessibility
Vertask widgets adapt to the text size you've selected on your device.
If you use a larger text setting, the widget automatically adjusts the amount of information it displays rather than cutting off or overlapping text.
Quick Access to Your Workload
With a Vertask widget on your Home Screen, you can quickly:
See how many tickets you have
Check your open tickets
Spot overdue work
See upcoming due dates
Open a ticket
Open a filtered ticket list
Tip: Add a widget to your Home Screen for a quick view of your Vertask workload throughout the day.
