What an iOS-style 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 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.

Tips for iOS-style year progress widgets

Keep the card white and the radius around 26.
Use one bright color per widget as the title color.
Show both the percentage and the day count so the bar has context.
Use a segmented bar if you want each step to feel like a milestone.
For a goal of your own, connect the bar to a counter instead of the date.
Do not copy Apple artwork or icons.
Do not shrink margins below 16 points.
