What a brutalist habit tracker widget shows

A habit tracker widget keeps a daily routine in view: water, reading, a walk. A ring shows how much of today is done and a short list lets you tick each habit from the home screen.

Habits are stored on the phone in WidgetCraft's Tasks, notes & habits section, a free source with no account or permission. Each habit can have a daily goal, such as 8 glasses, and the days it repeats; the app keeps the streak for you.

How the brutalist style shapes it

Brutalist widgets look deliberately raw: oversized condensed type, square corners, thick black outlines and one loud color. Nothing is rounded or shaded, which makes them very readable at a glance.

How to make a brutalist habit tracker widget in WidgetCraft

  1. Open Tasks, notes & habits and add your habits. Give each a daily goal (for example 8 glasses) and the days it repeats.
  2. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #FBFAF4 and the corner radius to 0. Add a 4-point outline.
  3. Tap Add and choose Habit progress ring. Set the diameter to 100, the stroke to 9 and the progress color to #FF6B2C.
  4. Add a Text layer inside the ring for the count of completed habits at size 24 in #111111.
  5. Add Today's habits as a list on the right, limited to three rows, with text at size 15 in #111111. A tap on a row marks progress.
  6. Add the brutalist ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a strip of black diagonal hazard stripes, 10 points tall, along the bottom edge.
  7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.
