Japandi battery widget

By the WidgetCraft team · Updated November 13, 2026

A Japandi battery widget shows your charge level as a ring with the percentage in the middle. Japanese calm meets Nordic simplicity: stone, ink and empty space. This page gives the exact colors, type settings and layers, with a preview drawn from the same values.

What a Japandi battery widget shows

A battery widget turns one number into a shape you can read without thinking. A ring that fills clockwise is the clearest form, with the percentage inside it.

Battery level is a free, built-in source in WidgetCraft and needs no permission. The widget refreshes when the charge changes or the charger is connected.

How the Japandi style shapes it

Japandi widgets mix Japanese and Scandinavian ideas: stone and clay colors, ink-black accents, off-center layouts and a lot of deliberate empty space.

Bars and rings: Use a single thin line or one small vermilion circle like a seal.
Numbers: Keep the number moderate in size and anchor it to one corner.

How to make a Japandi battery widget in WidgetCraft

Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #EDE8DF and the corner radius to 8.
Tap Add and choose Ring. Set the diameter to 120 and the stroke to 5.
Open Data for the ring and connect it to Battery level with a range of 0 to 100.
Color the progress #9C4A3C and the track #8C8478 at about 28% opacity.
Add a Battery layer in the center at size 44 in #26231F, then a small Text label underneath.
Add the Japandi ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: one vermilion dot in the bottom right, like a seal, and a single short ink line at the bottom left.
Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Tips for Japandi battery widgets

Leave at least a third of the widget empty.
Use vermilion once, as a small dot.
Start the ring at the top and fill clockwise; other start points are harder to read.
Keep the track visible at low opacity so an almost-empty ring still looks like a ring.
A battery widget shows the phone only. Earbuds and watches need their maker's own widget.
Do not center and fill the layout.
Do not use glossy or bright colors.
