Japandi step counter widget

What a Japandi 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 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 step counter widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #EDE8DF and the corner radius to 8.
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 #9C4A3C.
5. Add a Text layer connected to the step count at size 46 in #26231F, plus a label and your goal in #8C8478.
6. 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.
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.
