What a handwritten 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 handwritten style shapes it

Handwritten widgets look like a page from a bullet journal: a handwriting font, dotted or lined paper, pen-blue ink and hand-drawn boxes.

How to make a handwritten 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 #FBF8EF and the corner radius to 10. Add a 2-point outline.
  3. Tap Add and choose Habit progress ring. Set the diameter to 100, the stroke to 5 and the progress color to #E0574F.
  4. Add a Text layer inside the ring for the count of completed habits at size 24 in #2B3A67.
  5. Add Today's habits as a list on the right, limited to three rows, with text at size 15 in #2B3A67. A tap on a row marks progress.
  6. Add the handwritten ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: faint ruled lines every 22 points and a thin red margin line 14 points from the left, like notebook paper.
  7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.
