Here's the uncomfortable math of habit apps: every extra tap between "I should log that" and "logged" loses people. Unlock, find the icon, wait for launch, tap the button — do that twelve times a day and even a lovely app starts feeling like admin.
Widgets delete the admin. Quenched puts your progress — and real, tappable quick-add buttons — on your Home Screen, your Lock Screen, your watch face, and your Android launcher. Glance, tap, done. The app stays in your pocket; the habit sticks anyway. Widgets are part of Quenched's free tier on every platform.
iPhone Home Screen widgets
Quenched offers several styles — a progress ring over the water level, quick-add buttons, and a weekly chart. The quick-add buttons are interactive: tapping one logs the water right there, without opening the app.
- Touch and hold an empty area of your Home Screen until the apps jiggle.
- Tap Edit in the top corner, then Add Widget (on older iOS versions, the + button).
- Search for Quenched.
- Swipe through the sizes, pick your style, and tap Add Widget.
- Drag it somewhere your thumb already lives, then tap Done.
iPhone Lock Screen widgets
For the true glance — no unlocking at all:
- Touch and hold your Lock Screen, then tap Customize.
- Choose the Lock Screen, then tap the widget area below the clock.
- Find Quenched in the list and add a widget.
- Tap Done. Your progress now shows before you even unlock.
Apple Watch complications
Quenched includes four complication styles, including a live seven-day chart, so your ring can sit right on the watch face:
- Touch and hold your watch face, then tap Edit.
- Swipe to the complications screen and tap a slot.
- Scroll to Quenched and pick a style.

Android home screen widgets
The Android app ships with widgets too — progress, quick-add, and chart styles from your launcher's picker:
- Touch and hold an empty area of your home screen.
- Tap Widgets.
- Find Quenched, then press and drag the style you want onto your home screen.
- Resize it if your launcher allows — most do.
Placement advice from the trenches
- First page, thumb zone. A widget on page three might as well be in the app. Put it where your eye lands when you unlock.
- Pair it with your triggers. Next to your calendar if meetings make you forget to drink; next to your coffee app if espresso is the habit you're balancing.
- Quick-add beats pretty. If you only add one widget, make it the one with buttons. Logging in literally one tap is the whole game.
