What a botanical year progress widget shows

A year-progress widget is a gentle nudge: one bar that fills from 1 January to 31 December. The same layout works for the day, the week or a personal goal.

It is calculated from the date, so it is free, offline and needs no permission. WidgetCraft includes a free Day progress component, and a formula can stretch it to the year.

How the botanical style shapes it

Botanical widgets bring plants onto the home screen: deep and soft greens, leaf photographs and a calm serif or sans. They pair naturally with nature wallpapers.
