Problem

Frequently-checked app data (step count, task count, score, timer) requires opening the full app just to glance at a single number, adding unnecessary friction.

Solution

Implement a WidgetExtension using WidgetKit. Define a TimelineProvider that supplies timeline entries. Build widget views for small, medium, and large widget families. For iOS 17+, add interactive AppIntent actions using Button or Toggle inside the widget view so users can trigger a primary action (Start Workout, Complete Task) without opening the app.
