Editorial habit tracker widget

What an editorial 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 editorial style shapes it

Editorial widgets borrow from print magazines: a large serif headline, small spaced captions, thin rules and warm paper colors. They suit quotes, reading progress and portrait photos.

• Lists: Number the rows and separate them with hairline rules like a table of contents.
• Bars and rings: Use thin rules and a slim progress line, like the column dividers in a magazine.

How to make an editorial 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 #F3EEE4 and the corner radius to 6.
3. Tap Add and choose Habit progress ring. Set the diameter to 100, the stroke to 5 and the progress color to #A4452C.
4. Add a Text layer inside the ring for the count of completed habits at size 24 in #1D1A16.
5. Add Today's habits as a list on the right, limited to three rows, with text at size 15 in #1D1A16. A tap on a row marks progress.
6. Add the editorial ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a single hairline rule across the top, like a column divider.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for editorial habit tracker widgets

• Use a real serif for the headline and keep captions under 11 points.
• Add one thin rule to anchor the layout.
• 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 bright saturated colors.
• Do not center everything; align to the left edge like a column.
