Health Data Widgets

Version History

What's new in each release of Health Data Widgets.

Version 1.2

October 2026

Apple Watch, daily goals, and a new main screen.

Apple Watch app and complications. Put today's steps or distance on your watch face in circular, rectangular, inline, and corner styles. The watch reads Apple Health directly.
Daily goals. Set a step goal and a distance goal in Settings. They sync to your Apple Watch automatically.
Goal widgets. Daily Goal Single (Small, plus circular and rectangular on the Lock Screen) and Daily Goal Multi (Medium) show your progress with a gauge. On the watch, Daily Goal and Daily Goals do the same.
New main screen. Today's steps and goal progress at a glance, plus a Get Started checklist that ticks itself off as you allow Apple Health and add your first widgets. You can bring it back any time from Help.
What's New. A short overview of the highlights after an update.
Better on iPad. Content keeps a comfortable reading width on large screens.
Fix: Widgets no longer show yesterday's total shortly after midnight.
Fix: A day without any Health data shows zero instead of an error.
Fix: The main screen refreshes right away when you come back from Settings.

June 2026

Lock Screen support, multi-metric widgets, and per-surface appearance settings.

Lock Screen complications. Add Health Data Widgets to your Lock Screen in all three styles: circular, rectangular, and inline. Both Steps and Distance work in every slot.
Multi-metric widget. A new Home Screen widget (Small and Medium) that shows two metrics at once — pick which goes in each slot.
In-app widget gallery. Browse every widget size with live previews before you add it to your Home Screen, plus a mock Lock Screen card showing how the complications look in context.
Appearance settings. Position the value at the top, middle, or bottom of the widget, and align it left, centered, or right. Pick a text color from seven presets for Home Screen widgets.
Separate Home Screen and Lock Screen settings. Each surface has its own appearance page so you can tune them independently.
Help section. Per-surface guides for adding and configuring Home Screen and Lock Screen widgets.
Fix: Lock Screen circular complication now shows "5.2 km" / "3.2 mi" with a proper space between the number and the unit.
Fix: The widget heading follows your horizontal alignment setting along with the value.

May 2026 — initial release

The first public release. Bring your most-watched Apple Health data out of the Health app and onto your Home Screen.

Today's Steps and Distance. A clean Home Screen widget in three sizes (Small, Medium, Large) that shows today's step count or walking + running distance from Apple Health.
Configurable per widget. Long-press a widget to pick what it shows — Steps or Distance. Each widget instance keeps its own setting, so you can have both on screen at once.
iPhone and iPad. Universal, light and dark mode, locale-aware units (km / mi).
English and German. Full localization throughout the app and widgets.
Show or hide the heading. A Settings toggle removes the "STEPS" or "DISTANCE" label if you want just the number.
Built to feel like Apple Health. Bold pink numbers on a clean adaptive background. No clutter.
Read-only and private. Read-only access to Apple Health; no network requests, no analytics, no tracking. Nothing leaves your device.
