What a Material You 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 Material You style shapes it

Material You is the design language Google introduced with Android 12. Widgets use soft tonal colors drawn from the wallpaper, very round corners and big readable numbers. This recipe recreates the look with fixed colors you choose.

Bars and rings: Use thick pill bars and full circles in the primary color on a lighter container.
Numbers: Make numbers large and rounded in the on-surface color.
