Retro habit tracker widget

What a retro 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 retro style shapes it

Retro widgets use the palette of 1970s posters and record sleeves: mustard, burnt orange, brown and cream, with curved stripes and chunky rounded lettering.

• Lists: Mark rows with small orange circles and keep text in chocolate brown.
• Bars and rings: Use thick bars in orange and mustard stacked like stripes on a van.

How to make a retro 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 #F3E3C3 and the corner radius to 20.
3. Tap Add and choose Habit progress ring. Set the diameter to 100, the stroke to 12 and the progress color to #D9622B.
4. Add a Text layer inside the ring for the count of completed habits at size 24 in #3E2A1F.
5. Add Today's habits as a list on the right, limited to three rows, with text at size 15 in #3E2A1F. 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 retro habit tracker widgets

• Use cream instead of white and brown instead of black.
• Stack two or three stripes as decoration.
• 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 use cool blues or greys.
• Do not use thin modern type.
