E-ink habit tracker widget

What an e-ink 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 e-ink style shapes it

E-ink widgets imitate an e-reader display: a light grey background, sharp black text, no color and no effects. Popular for low-distraction home screens.

• Lists: Plain rows with square checkboxes.
• Bars and rings: Use black segments or a simple outlined bar.

5. Add Today's habits as a list on the right, limited to three rows, with text at size 15 in #151515. A tap on a row marks progress.
6. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for e-ink habit tracker widgets

• Use only black and two greys.
• Add a thin black outline.
• Track three habits or fewer on one widget; more rows get too small to tap.
• Give counted habits a unit, such as glasses or pages, so the numbers make sense.
• A habit only counts on the days it is scheduled, so check the days if one never appears.
• Do not use color or gradients.
• Do not use shadows.
