What a Bauhaus step counter widget shows

A step widget shows one number and how close it is to a goal. A ring on one side and the count on the other reads well at a glance.

Steps come from Health Connect, which needs a compatible phone, your permission and a fitness connection (a Pro feature in WidgetCraft). The numbers are whatever your phone or watch has recorded; the widget does not count steps itself.

How the Bauhaus style shapes it

Bauhaus widgets are built from basic shapes in red, yellow and blue on an off-white ground. Circles become dials, bars become progress and type stays geometric and plain.

Bars and rings: Build the whole widget from a circle, a square and a bar, each in a different primary color.
Numbers: Place numbers inside or next to a solid circle or square so the shape frames them.

How to make a Bauhaus step counter widget in WidgetCraft

Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #F4EFE3 and the corner radius to 4.
Open Data and connect Health Connect, allowing access to steps.
Tap Add and choose Ring. Set the diameter to 104 and the stroke to 12, and connect it to steps with a range from 0 to your goal.
Color the progress #D93025.
Add a Text layer connected to the step count at size 46 in #1B1B1B, plus a label and your goal in #6D6A62.
Add the Bauhaus ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a large yellow circle (Shape) in the top right corner and a 30 × 30 blue square in the bottom right, both behind the content.
Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

The layout and styling are free. The live data connection for this widget needs WidgetCraft Pro, a one-time purchase.

Tips for Bauhaus step counter widgets

Limit color to red, yellow, blue, black and cream.
Let one large shape dominate each widget.
Show the goal next to the count so the ring has meaning.
Step data can lag by a few minutes depending on the app that records it.
This is an activity display, not medical advice.
Do not use gradients or shadows.
Do not round shapes halfway; use full circles or square corners.
