What a summer year progress widget shows

A year-progress widget is a gentle nudge: one bar that fills from 1 January to 31 December. The same layout works for the day, the week or a personal goal.

It is calculated from the date, so it is free, offline and needs no permission. WidgetCraft includes a free Day progress component, and a formula can stretch it to the year.

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.
