Gradient year progress widget

What a gradient 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 gradient style shapes it

Gradient widgets use a smooth blend between two related colors as the background, with white text on top. They add color without adding clutter.

• Bars and rings: Use white bars on a 25% white track.
• Numbers: Keep numbers white and bold so they hold up over both gradient colors.

How to make a gradient year progress widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to gradient #6A5CFF to #FF6FB5 at 45° and the corner radius to 24.
2. Tap Add and choose Progress. Make it 312 wide, styled as a thick 12-point bar with rounded ends.
3. Open Data and connect it to the day of the year with a range of 0 to 365.
4. Color the progress #FFE066 and keep the track faint.
5. Add a Text layer for the percentage at size 68 in #FFFFFF, and a smaller one for the day count at size 13 in #EBDDFF.
6. Add the gradient ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: two large translucent white circles at about 12% opacity in the right corners, for depth.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for gradient year progress widgets

• Blend two neighbouring hues, such as violet to pink.
• Set the gradient angle to about 45 degrees.
• Show both the percentage and the day count so the bar has context.
• Use a segmented bar if you want each step to feel like a milestone.
• For a goal of your own, connect the bar to a counter instead of the date.
• Do not blend opposite colors; the middle turns muddy.
• Do not use dark text.
