What's new in Kron

Your sponsors, families and future members want to see what your team puts in. Now your website can show them. Website widgets put your team's real hours, members and events right on your homepage, sponsor page or footer, straight from Kron.

How it works

Team owners and admins can find it under Team Settings → Website Widgets. Click Create widget, then pick:

• Stats to show: your whole team, or a single event type like build season. Event types with a start date count from that date, just like your leaderboards.
• Theme: Light or Dark, to fit your site's colors.
• Size: Compact for a small badge with your total hours, Normal for a card with hours, members and events, or Large to add the last 30 days, your top activities or goal, and your team picture.
• Show team name: turn it off if your page already says who you are.

A live preview shows exactly how your widget will look before you save it.

Add it to your site

Click Preview & Get Code on your widget, then Copy embed code and paste it into your website wherever your site builder lets you add custom HTML or an embed. That's it. The numbers keep themselves up to date as your team signs in and out, so there's nothing to update by hand.

If your website has its own dark mode, whoever manages it can switch the widget between light and dark to match. And if you ever want a widget gone, delete it in Kron and it disappears from your site, with a friendly note in its place.

Late-night build sessions and dimly lit gyms just got easier on the eyes. Every part of Kron, from your dashboard and reports to the sign-in kiosk, now comes in a carefully tuned dark theme.

Pick your look

Open the theme menu (the sun or moon icon in the top bar) and choose:

• System follows your device's setting and switches automatically when it does. This is the default.
• Light keeps the classic Kron look.
• Dark keeps things dark all the time.

Your choice is remembered on that device, so the kiosk tablet in the shop can stay dark while your laptop follows the sun.

Everywhere you use Kron

Dark mode covers the app, the kiosk, sign-in pages and the Kron website, so nothing flashes bright white when you move between them.

Stop remembering to pull the same hours report every Monday. Scheduled reports run on their own and land in your inbox, ready to forward to a mentor, sponsor or school.

Set it once

When you create a report, choose Schedule instead of running it once:

• Weekly on the day of your choice, or monthly on any day of the month.
• Pick the time of day it runs, in your team's time zone.
• Pause, edit or delete a schedule at any time from Manage scheduled reports on the Reports page.

Delivered automatically

When a scheduled report is ready, Kron emails it to you with the file attached (large reports include a download link instead). Every run is also saved in your reports list, so the history is always there when you need it.

How many hours did the team put in at build season kickoff? Now it's right at the top of the event page.

The new Total member credits card adds up every member's credited time for the event and sits alongside Members signed in now and Average credit per member. It's perfect for grant reports, sponsor updates and end-of-season recaps.

Your dashboard now tells the story of your season. Team leaders get a live view of participation without building a single report.

What you'll see

• Daily active members for the last week, so you can spot which days the team shows up.
• Monthly active members across the past year to track growth and retention.
• Hours by type for the last three months, broken down by event type (build, outreach, competition and more).

Set up for your kind of team

New teams now pick a category (robotics team, nonprofit, school club, youth sports and more) and a time zone when they're created. Kron starts you off with event types that fit your category, and every stat and report follows your team's time zone.

More control over event types

You can now archive event types you no longer use, and hide an event type from leaderboards when its hours shouldn't count toward the rankings. Find both options in Team Settings → Event Types.
