FitRest has 38 iPhone widgets, 31 for the Home Screen and 7 for the Lock Screen, covering your daily scores, heart, steps, sunlight and health logs. The Water Quick Add widget even lets you log a drink without opening the app.
Home Screen widgets come in small, medium and large sizes and are grouped by what they show:
The Lock Screen set covers the numbers you are most likely to want at a glance when you pick up your phone: Health Summary, Body Battery, Recovery, Sleep Quality, Stress, Exertion and Steps. Health Summary is a rectangular widget that combines several numbers. The others each come in circular, inline and rectangular styles, so you can fit a ring beside the clock or a line of text above it.
Water Quick Add is an interactive medium widget. It shows today's water against your goal, a row of amounts using the same ladder as the app, and an Add button. On iOS 17 and later you pick an amount and tap Add to log a drink straight from the Home Screen, and the entry saves to Apple Health like any other water log, so your daily total, the app and your other widgets all stay in step. On iOS 16 the widget opens FitRest instead so you can log there.
Most of what improves health is small and repeated: going to bed on time, drinking enough, easing off on days your body is tired. Those choices are easier when the information is in front of you instead of inside an app you have to remember to open. A Recovery or Body Battery widget on your Home Screen turns a morning check into something you see dozens of times a day without trying.
Widgets also make patterns obvious. A weekly water or caffeine widget shows at a glance whether today is on track, and the Stress and Body Battery Last 24 Hours widgets show the shape of your day, not just a single number.
Widgets read from the same Apple Health data as the app, so what you see matches the Dashboard. Scores that depend on overnight heart data, such as Recovery, Stress and Body Battery, need a watch worn to bed; steps and logs work from iPhone alone.

Yes. The Water Quick Add widget lets you log a drink from the Home Screen on iOS 17 and later. On iOS 16 it opens the app instead.
Touch and hold the Lock Screen, tap Customize, choose your Lock Screen, tap the widget area and pick a FitRest widget such as Recovery, Body Battery or Steps.
Widgets use the same Apple Health data as the app. Scores like Recovery and Stress need heart data from a watch worn overnight, and FitRest needs read access to that data in the Health app.
