# Nouns iOS app auction supercharged

## We take official iOS Nouns app and supercharge it with the newest auction tracking tech.

[Nouns app](https://www.nounsapp.wtf/) is dope. For creating nouns and checking on the latest-born ones. Let’s launch its auction tracking functionality to the next level with the latest features from Apple.

## Live Activity Auction Widgets

With the latest iOS versions Apple introduced LiveActivities. Widgets that can pop up and stay in the pill/lock screen in the last 15m of the auction.

Never miss noun o’clock with them (especially when coupled with notifications).

## Auction widget

Small but mighty. [First widget](https://nounswidgets.wtf/nouns/small-auction) I created. Bringing it to the Nouns app will make it easier for more people to have it on their phones and will remove dependency on the Scriptable installation app.
