App
LinksApps
Embeds an app into the board.
The App widget opens an application or website and can show whether Homarr can reach it. Configure the target and status check from the tile's edit actions. In view mode, right-click uses the browser's link menu; Homarr's widget menu remains available in edit mode.
Adding the widget
Add the widget from the board's Add board content menu in edit mode.
