About Widgets & Shortcuts.
HabitKit's widgets put a habit's grid on your home screen, on iPhone and Android, and some of them let you log the day without opening the app (add a widget to your home screen). Each widget shows the habits you pick, at the size and in the theme you choose (choose which habits a widget shows). Widgets are part of HabitKit Pro.
If a widget still shows an earlier state, opening the app for a few seconds usually refreshes it, and widget not updating covers the rest. On iPhone you can skip the screen altogether: seven Shortcuts actions let Siri or an automation log a habit, add an amount or a note, or read your progress (Siri and iOS Shortcuts).
