A free Lock Screen widget for calories burned and steps
Last updated
Total Calories puts today's total calories burned and your step count on the iPhone Lock Screen, free and with no account. It reads both from Apple Health, and the total includes resting energy, so the number is your whole burn for the day.
What the widgets show
- Rectangular (under the clock): today's total calories and steps.
- Circular: a calorie gauge filling toward your goal.
- Inline (above the clock): calories and steps as one line of text.
- Home Screen: small, medium and large widgets. The large one shows active and resting calories separately.
The widgets follow the metrics you turn on in the app, so you can show calories only, steps only, or both.
How to add it to your Lock Screen
- Install Total Calories and allow it to read Active Energy, Resting Energy and Steps from Apple Health.
- Touch and hold the Lock Screen, then tap Customize and choose Lock Screen.
- Tap the widget area under the clock, find Total Calories, and pick the rectangular or circular widget. Tap above the clock for the inline one.
- Tap Done.
On your Apple Watch too
The same total is available as a watch face complication in circular, rectangular, inline and corner styles, plus a step count complication. Goals you set on the iPhone sync to the watch.
Why total calories, not the Move ring
Apple's Activity widgets show active calories, which leave out the 1,200 to 2,000 kcal most adults burn at rest. Total Calories adds Active Energy and Resting Energy from Apple Health, so the Lock Screen shows the full number. How the total is counted.
