What an iOS-style 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 iOS-style style shapes it

This style follows the widgets people know from iPhones: white or dark rounded cards, a small colored title, a large bold number and tidy lists. It is a look, not an official Apple design.

Bars and rings: Use thick rings with rounded ends in one bright color.
Numbers: Use a heavy sans for the main number and a grey caption beside it.
