Weather Widget
Stealth Browse ships a home-screen weather widget that shows current conditions, an emoji icon, a scene background, your location, and a horizontally scrollable hourly forecast.
Adding the Widget
- Long-press on an empty area of your launcher home screen and pick Widgets.
- Find Stealth Weather in the widget picker.
- Drag it to your home screen. The widget shows a loading state while it fetches the first forecast.
What's on the Widget
| Current temperature | Updates on each refresh |
| Emoji + scene background | Mapped to the weather code |
| Location label | City / area resolved from your IP |
| Hourly forecast | Scrolls horizontally across the next several hours |
| Refresh | Tap the refresh icon to force-update |
Update Schedule
Updates run via Android WorkManager when the device has network connectivity. You can tune the schedule from Home Customization → Weather Widget in the browser settings:
| Auto-update | Enabled by default |
| Update interval | 30 minutes by default (minimum 15) |
| Cache TTL | 30 minutes - the widget reuses the same cache as the in-browser home weather card |
How Location is Determined
- The widget resolves location from your IP address via Stealth's admin API - no GPS permission needed.
- The in-browser home weather card can optionally use device location when you grant permission - that path is independent of the widget.
- Forecast data is fetched from the open Open-Meteo service.
Units
Units default to Fahrenheit when the device locale is US, Liberia, or Myanmar; Celsius everywhere else.
