Add a Home Screen widget

  1. Set your hitch first (Hitch tab → preset or custom → Save).
  2. Long-press the Home Screen → Add Widget.
  3. Search HitchPin.
  4. Pick Small (ON / HOME) or Medium (countdown + 7-day strip).
  5. Tap Done.

App and widget share the hitch through App Group group.com.hitchpin.app. Widgets refresh at local midnight (device civil day). After you Save, timelines reload immediately.

Spouse QR

How do I send my hitch?

Open Share. Show the QR, copy the plaintext payload, or share a year PDF. Payload looks like hitchpin:1|S=2026-06-01|on=14|off=14|label=days. No server is involved.

How does my spouse import it?

On their phone, open HitchPin → Share → Scan QR (camera is only used for this), or paste the payload. Same start date and on/off. Unknown keys are ignored; missing start / on / off is rejected.

Does scanning upload anything?

No. Decode is on-device. See Privacy.

Presets

Hitch tab: 7/7, 14/14, 14/21, or custom 1–90 days on and off. Pick a start date. Days / Nights / None is color only — it does not change KeenCalc. Week starts Sunday or Monday (display only).

One hitch in v1. No payroll, buybacks, firefighter/Kelly, or calendar sync.
