What a monochrome 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 monochrome style shapes it

Monochrome widgets use no color at all. Black, white and two greys create the hierarchy, which makes any wallpaper work and gives the home screen a consistent, graphic look.
