Handwritten year progress widget

What a handwritten 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 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 year progress 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. Tap Add and choose Progress. Make it 312 wide, styled as a thin 4-point bar.
3. Open Data and connect it to the day of the year with a range of 0 to 365.
4. Color the progress #E0574F and keep the track faint.
5. Add a Text layer for the percentage at size 68 in #2B3A67, and a smaller one for the day count at size 13 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.
