What a kawaii 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 kawaii style shapes it

Kawaii widgets are deliberately cute: very round shapes, pink and cream colors, small hearts or stars and friendly rounded type. Simple shapes with two dots and a curve become faces.
