Summer step counter widget

What a summer 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 summer style shapes it

Summer widgets are bright and warm: turquoise sea, coral, sunshine yellow and white, with bold friendly type. Good for holiday countdowns and step goals.

• Bars and rings: Use coral bars and a yellow circle as the sun.
• Numbers: Keep numbers teal and bold with a coral label.

How to make a summer step counter widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 180, the background to #E8FBFF and the corner radius to 26.

7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

The layout and styling are free. The live data connection for this widget needs WidgetCraft Pro, a one-time purchase.
