Widgets are part of Premium: without it, a widget you add shows a preview with sample habits. **Settings › Widgets** shows every widget with a live preview.

## Home Screen widgets

BeHabit has two Home Screen widgets on both iPhone and Android:

- **Today**: your progress and today’s habits. Tap a check to complete one.
  - Small: progress and the next habit.
  - Medium: progress and three habits.
  - Large: up to seven habits with streaks.
- **Habit**: one habit with its streak and history. Small shows ten weeks, medium six months.

On iPhone there’s also **Habbi**, in small and medium: the mascot reacts to your day, sleepy in the morning and proud when it’s all done. The small widgets work in StandBy too: charge your iPhone on its side and read your progress from across the room.

For the Lock Screen, the Year wallpaper and Control Center, see [Lock Screen, Control Center and more](https://behabit.app/help/lock-screen-and-controls).

## On iPhone

1. Touch and hold an empty spot on the Home Screen.
2. Tap **Edit**, then **Add Widget**.
3. Search for BeHabit and choose a size.

To choose which habit a **Habit** widget shows, touch and hold it, tap **Edit Widget**, and pick **Featured habit**.

## On Android

1. Touch and hold an empty spot on the home screen.
2. Tap **Widgets** and find BeHabit.
3. Drag a widget into place. Hold it to resize.

When you add a **Habit** widget, BeHabit asks **Which habit?**.

## Featured habits

Habit widgets show a featured slot (1, 2 or 3). Decide which habit fills each slot in **Settings › Widgets › Featured habits**. An empty slot shows the next habit in your Today order.

## Ticking off from a widget

Tap a habit’s check on the Today widget. On iPhone this needs iOS 17 or later. A widget tap marks the **whole day** done (or undone), even for habits with a count. The app picks it up the next time it opens.
