Habit Tracker Widget for iPhone - Build Daily Routines

Why a Habit Widget Works

A habit tracker widget keeps your goals visible every time you unlock your iPhone. Micro‑nudges like streak counters and daily checkboxes help you build consistency.

Pin morning routines, hydration, study sprints, or workouts. Configure reminders and color themes to make progress feel rewarding and fun.

Combine with countdown and focus timer widgets to turn intentions into action.
