Overview
Put today’s progress where people already look: offer a home-screen widget showing whether the task is done, and open straight to it. Ask people to add it just after a completed session, when its usefulness is easy to explain.
Fits when
- Products with a daily action whose done or not-done state is worth a glance
- Live Activities for a bounded session of up to eight hours, like a workout
- Apps that can prompt users to add the widget at a natural moment, like after a completed lesson

Good to knowFit and evidence notes
- Fit to consider
- Lock-screen content (journal prompts, mood, health activity) can be read by people near the phone.
