Aivi: Live Activities over API

Aivi 2.0 is here: persistent widgets on Lock Screen, Home Screen, watch face, and StandBy. Same API, different noun.

Your dishwasher, your 3D printer, your EV charger - live on your lock screen, not buried in notifications.

Aivi turns one HTTP request into a Live Activity on iPhone, Apple Watch, and CarPlay. And new in 2.0: persistent widgets that stay when the activity ends - on your Lock Screen, Home Screen, watch face, and StandBy.

The key difference: if Home Assistant, a script, or anything else in your stack can make an HTTP call, Aivi can display it. No app to build, no push certificates, no SDK.

NEW IN 2.0: WIDGETS

• Live Activities are for right now. Widgets are for the meantime - persistent tiles that quietly keep score all day
• Ten templates: progress, gauge, trend charts, battery levels, electricity prices, countdown, budget, energy flow, list, and status
• Widget Board: several of your widgets together in one grid
• Watch face complications and Smart Stack - your data at wrist-glance
• Looks native everywhere: Tinted Home Screen appearance, StandBy on the nightstand
• Same API as activities: one request, different noun
