What a Halloween step counter widget shows

A step widget shows one number and how close it is to a goal. A ring on one side and the count on the other reads well at a glance.

Steps come from Health Connect, which needs a compatible phone, your permission and a fitness connection (a Pro feature in WidgetCraft). The numbers are whatever your phone or watch has recorded; the widget does not count steps itself.

How the Halloween style shapes it

Halloween widgets use pumpkin orange, deep purple and black with a slightly eerie display font. A countdown to 31 October is the obvious centerpiece.
