A calm iPhone step counter widget for your Home Screen, Lock Screen, and Apple Watch.
Why I Built It
It's easy to forget to move when your step count is buried inside another app. I wanted something calmer: a widget that shows progress at a glance without turning the day into a competition.
Steps Widget is built around clarity, gentle encouragement, and quick feedback each time you check your phone. Whether you are building a walking habit, staying active at work, or simply trying to move a little more, I hope it makes progress feel visible.

Is Steps Widget private?
+
Your step data stays on your device. Steps Widget reads Apple Health data with permission and avoids social feeds, public leaderboards, or pressure-based features.
Why is my step widget not updating right away?

iOS manages widget refreshes to preserve battery life, so updates may not be instant. If it looks stuck, check Apple Health permission, open Steps Widget once, then give iOS a little time to refresh.
