The story
I wanted the prayer times for wherever I am on my iPhone and my Mac, in a simple widget.
This widget runs in ScriptWidget. It finds my location on its own (on the Mac, where ScriptWidget has no location services, it uses an approximate location from the IP address) and gets the day's times from the Aladhan API with the Diyanet method. It shows the current prayer time and the time left, for example İkindi · 2sa 41dk.
It only goes online once a day. The times are cached and refresh when the day changes or I move more than about 20 km. The colors stay readable in light and dark mode.
