Commure Pro’s iOS widgets put scribe entry points outside the app: add a widget to your Home Screen or use the Lock Screen accessory to jump straight into a new or resumed scribe. The widget set includes small Start Scribe, AI Summary, and AI Studio widgets, plus a medium widget that pairs Start Scribe with Patient List, AI Studio, and AI Summary shortcuts.
Save the clicks: a widget tap takes you straight into the scribe flow — no opening the app, finding the patient in the list, and starting a scribe from there. Widget taps land correctly whether the app is closed, in the background, or already open, including after biometric login.

​
Adding a Home Screen Widget

1

Enter edit mode

Touch and hold an empty area of your Home Screen until the apps begin to jiggle, then tap Edit > Add Widget (on earlier iOS versions, the + button) in the top-left corner.
2

Find Commure Pro

Search for Commure Pro in the widget gallery and tap it to see the available widgets.
3

Add and place it

Choose the widget you want, tap Add Widget, and drag it into position. Tap Done.

​
Lock Screen Accessory

You can also add a Commure Pro accessory widget to your Lock Screen: touch and hold the Lock Screen, tap Customize, select the Lock Screen, tap the widget area, and choose Commure Pro from the gallery. The Start Scribe accessory comes in a circular icon format and a rectangular format with a label. This gives you a scribe entry point without even unlocking to the Home Screen first.

Starting a Scribe from a Widget

1

Tap the widget

Tap Start Scribe from the Home Screen widget or Lock Screen accessory. If the app is locked, complete biometric login as usual — the widget action still runs after login.
2

Pick a patient

The AI Patient List opens with a search bar, so you can find the patient quickly instead of scrolling. Tap the patient for this encounter.
3

Record

The app opens the patient’s detail screen and starts the scribe flow. From here the recording works the same as any other scribe — see Recording an Ambient Note.
A resumed scribe opened from a widget also lands on the patient’s detail screen first. If the patient already has a draft note, a Resume Scribe sheet appears there, letting you resume the draft or choose Start New Scribe Instead.

​
Widget Access

Widget actions follow your existing feature access: the scribe widgets require AI Scribe access, and the AI Summary widget requires AI Summary access. If a widget action doesn’t appear or doesn’t run for you, check with your administrator that the corresponding feature is enabled for your account.
