Chapter 06

Widgets & Live Activity

Three widgets across seven sizes, all wearing your theme colour, plus a Live Activity that keeps counting on the Lock Screen while your phone is on the floor and your face is nowhere near it.

Home Screen widgets

Three widgets, each answering a different question, and each painted in the accent colour you chose in the app. Change your theme and every widget on your Home Screen repaints with it.

The small Daily Push-Ups widget: a week of bars above today's count — **Daily Push-Ups · Small**Today's count over your last seven days.

The Streak widget: a flame above a large number and the words day streak — **Streak · Small**How long you have kept it going.

The Lifetime widget: the push-up figure above a total of 12,847 — **Lifetime · Small**Every push-up you have ever done.

The medium Daily Push-Ups widget: today's count, a goal progress bar, a streak line, a Log 10 button and the week chart — **Daily Push-Ups · Medium**Today, your goal, your streak, the week, and a button that logs ten without opening anything.

Widget gallery
Widget	Sizes	Shows
Daily Push-Ups	Small, Medium, and all three Lock Screen accessories	Today's count, the last seven days as bars with today highlighted, and on the medium size your goal bar, your streak and a Log 10 button.
Streak	Small, circular, inline	The flame and the number of days.
Lifetime	Small, inline, rectangular	Your all-time total, compactly formatted so a six-figure number still fits.

Tapping any of them opens PushFit on your statistics.

Log 10, without opening the app

The medium Daily Push-Ups widget carries a real button. Pressing it adds ten push-ups to today right there on the Home Screen: the widget's number goes up, your goal ring moves, your streak is fed, and PushFit never comes to the foreground.

It is the fastest possible way to log a set you did without your phone, and it pairs with the Siri version of the same thing for when your hands are busy.

Lock Screen accessories

All three Lock Screen shapes are supported, and each is drawn for the space it has rather than shrunk down from the big one:

Circular

A gauge filling toward your daily goal with the count in the middle. With no goal set it becomes the figure and the number.

Rectangular

Today's count, your streak, and a miniature of the week's bars.

Inline

The line above the clock: your count, then your streak, next to the push-up figure.

Where the canvas is too small to spell out the word "push-ups", the figure stands in for it, so the room is spent on the number instead.

A Lock Screen with all three PushFit accessories: an inline line above the clock reading 62 and a 12 day streak, and below it a circular goal gauge and a rectangular accessory with the count, the streak and a mini week chart — **Lock Screen**All three, in the places iOS puts them.

These also work in StandBy, and the same three shapes are what the Apple Watch uses for its complications.

The Live Activity

Start a workout and PushFit posts a Live Activity, so the phone on the floor keeps showing your count even when the screen has locked itself.

The PushFit Live Activity on the Lock Screen: 18 reps, set 3, a goal ring at 62 of 100, and a strip showing elapsed time, calories and heart rate — **Lock Screen**Reps, the set, your goal ring, and the vitals under it.

What is on it:

The rep count, large, with the set number under it.
A goal ring on the right showing today against your daily goal, and the numbers under it. It swaps to a checkmark once you have got there.
A strip of vitals: elapsed time, calories, and heart rate whenever something is measuring it.
A ghosted push-up figure behind it all, and your theme colour as the background.

The Live Activity during a rest, the goal ring replaced by a countdown reading 42 seconds and captioned REST — **Resting**The slot changes what it is showing.

The right-hand slot is not fixed. It shows whichever of four things matters most at that moment: the rest countdown while you are resting, then your goal ring, then a completion mark when the workout is over, and the elapsed clock when there is no goal to draw. Whatever it claims is dropped from the strip below, so nothing appears twice on a card this small.

The clocks tick from dates rather than from pushed updates, which is why the timer keeps running smoothly on a locked screen without PushFit doing anything at all.

The Dynamic Island

The expanded Dynamic Island: 18 push-ups on the left, a goal ring on the right, and a bottom strip with time, sets and calories — **Expanded**Reps, goal ring, and the workout's strip.

On an iPhone with the Dynamic Island the same activity has three more forms:

Compact

Content on both flanks of the camera so the pill never reads as empty: the goal ring and your live rep count on the left, the workout clock, or the rest countdown, on the right.

Minimal

Just the goal ring, or the rep count when there is no goal.

Expanded

The full card: reps, the goal ring, and a strip carrying time, sets and calories.

Adding them

Home Screen: touch and hold the wallpaper, tap Edit then Add Widget, search for PushFit and pick a widget and a size.
Lock Screen: touch and hold the Lock Screen, tap Customise, then a widget slot, and choose PushFit.
Live Activity: nothing to add. It appears when a workout starts and clears itself when the workout ends. If you would rather it did not, iOS Settings has a Live Activities switch per app.

Widgets are refreshed by iOS, not by PushFit, so a number can lag by a few minutes on a quiet day. Opening the app or finishing a workout pushes fresh numbers immediately, and every widget refreshes at midnight so it never carries yesterday's count into a new day.
