Questions

Is Lobsters free?

Adding tools is always free. Free includes 6 widgets, 1 dashboard and 2 home screen widgets, updating at most once every 5 minutes. Pro has no limits, and each widget updates as fast as its tool allows.

Does the data go through Numable's servers?

Your device gets the data straight from these websites, never through Numable's servers: lobste.rs.

How often do home screen widgets update?

The system decides how often home screen widgets update, so their data can be a little older than in the app. On HarmonyOS, service widgets show what was on screen the last time you opened Numable.

Which devices are supported?

iPhone, iPad, Mac and Android are available now, each with system home screen widgets. HarmonyOS NEXT and the Windows desktop app are coming soon.
