What a paper 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 paper style shapes it

Paper widgets look like sticky notes or index cards on a desk: flat yellow or white paper, a soft shadow underneath and dark pencil-grey text.
