What a terminal 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 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.
