Handwritten step counter widget

What a handwritten 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 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.

• Bars and rings: Use slightly thick lines as if drawn with a pen.
• Numbers: Write numbers in the same hand and underline them with a red stroke.

How to make a handwritten step counter widget in WidgetCraft

1. 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.
2. Open Data and connect Health Connect, allowing access to steps.
3. Tap Add and choose Ring. Set the diameter to 104 and the stroke to 5, and connect it to steps with a range from 0 to your goal.
4. Color the progress #E0574F.
5. Add a Text layer connected to the step count at size 46 in #2B3A67, plus a label and your goal in #8C93AD.
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.

The layout and styling are free. The live data connection for this widget needs WidgetCraft Pro, a one-time purchase.
