What a terminal 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 terminal style shapes it

Terminal widgets look like a command prompt: a black background, green monospace text, a prompt symbol and plain text output instead of graphics.
