Minimal habit tracker widget

What a minimal habit tracker widget shows

A habit tracker widget keeps a daily routine in view: water, reading, a walk. A ring shows how much of today is done and a short list lets you tick each habit from the home screen.

Habits are stored on the phone in WidgetCraft's Tasks, notes & habits section, a free source with no account or permission. Each habit can have a daily goal, such as 8 glasses, and the days it repeats; the app keeps the streak for you.

How the minimal style shapes it

Minimal widgets remove everything that is not information. One typeface, two or three colors, generous margins and no decoration, so the time or the task is the only thing you see.

• Lists: Keep rows to one line each with a faint divider, and show no more than three.
• Bars and rings: Use hairline bars and thin rings, and use the accent color only on the part that shows progress.

How to make a minimal habit tracker widget in WidgetCraft

1. Open Tasks, notes & habits and add your habits. Give each a daily goal (for example 8 glasses) and the days it repeats.
2. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #F5F3EE and the corner radius to 22.
3. Tap Add and choose Habit progress ring. Set the diameter to 100, the stroke to 5 and the progress color to #E4572E.
4. Add a Text layer inside the ring for the count of completed habits at size 24 in #151515.
5. Add Today's habits as a list on the right, limited to three rows, with text at size 15 in #151515. A tap on a row marks progress.
6. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Everything in this recipe works in the free version.

Tips for minimal habit tracker widgets

• Leave at least 20 points of margin on every side.
• Pick one accent color and use it once per widget.
• Track three habits or fewer on one widget; more rows get too small to tap.
• Give counted habits a unit, such as glasses or pages, so the numbers make sense.
• A habit only counts on the days it is scheduled, so check the days if one never appears.
• Do not add icons next to every label.
• Do not mix more than two text sizes below the headline.
