# The monthly steps calendar widget

One number tells you about today. A month of colour tells you about your habit. The calendar widget puts your whole month on the Home Screen, one square per day.

## Adding it

1. Press and hold an empty area of the Home Screen, then tap +.
2. Search for Stepzy.
3. Swipe to the Monthly Steps Calendar widgets - one per theme.
4. Choose Small or Large, then Add Widget.

It comes in the same five themes as the step widgets: Sunset, Forest, Peacock, Berry and Midnight.

## Reading the colours

| Colour | Meaning |
| --- | --- |
| Green | You met that day's goal |
| Amber | You reached at least halfway |
| Red | You finished under half |
| Indigo | A [Streak Skip](https://getstepzy.com/docs/streak-skips) was used |
| Dim | No step data for that day |

Every square is graded against the goal that was active on that date, so switching to [weekday and weekend goals](https://getstepzy.com/docs/weekday-weekend-goals) does not repaint your past.

## Small versus Large

Small shows the month grid on its own. Large adds a legend for Goal, Halfway and Low, and marks days that included a workout. Weekday order follows your device region, so Monday-first and Sunday-first both work correctly.

The same view in the app

The Goal Calendar on the [Insights tab](https://getstepzy.com/docs/insights) is the interactive version - swipe between months and tap a day for its exact step count.

## Frequently asked questions

### Can I see previous months in the widget?

No, the widget always shows the current month. Use the Goal Calendar in [Insights](https://getstepzy.com/docs/insights) to browse back.

### Why is today dim?

Early in the day there may be no recorded steps yet. It fills in as you move.

### Is there a medium calendar widget?

The calendar widget comes in Small and Large. The [Daily Steps widget](https://getstepzy.com/docs/widgets) covers Medium.
