Neumorphic step counter widget design preview: Soft, raised shapes that look pressed out of the background. — Design preview drawn from the recipe below. Example values are shown; your widget uses live data.

What a neumorphic 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 neumorphic style shapes it

Neumorphic widgets appear moulded from the same material as the background. Shapes are the same color as the surface and are defined only by a soft light edge and a soft shadow.

Bars and rings: Draw rings and bars as the same grey with a soft shadow, with a small blue fill.
Numbers: Center the number in slate and keep it semi-bold.

Tips for neumorphic step counter widgets

Make the widget background match the wallpaper color exactly.
Use shadow radius 10 to 14 with low opacity.
Show the goal next to the count so the ring has meaning.
Step data can lag by a few minutes depending on the app that records it.
This is an activity display, not medical advice.
Do not use hard outlines.
Do not use it over a photo wallpaper; the illusion needs a flat color.
