What does the progress bar widget measure?

This free progress bar widget shows how far along the year is on any Notion page, with the percent and the number of days left. It can also follow this month, this week or today, all four at once, a date range like a semester or a project, or your life in years from your birth date. Pick a slim bar like Notion’s own, a dot for every day of the year, or a ring. Set the colors and font, copy the link, then drop it into Notion as an embed. The numbers move on their own every minute on each viewer’s device, so you never have to touch it again. You don’t need an account, and the bar carries no watermark.

How to add it to Notion

Choose what the bar should track, pick a look and press Copy link.
In Notion, go to the spot where the bar belongs, paste the link and pick Embed from the menu that pops up.
Your bar is on the page and moves forward on its own from now on. To fit your layout, pull the lower edge of the embed up or down, and the dots or ring resize with it.

Click any look above the preview to try it. The images below were taken on Friday, November 6, 2026, when 84.8% of the year was gone.

Year progress bar

A slim bar like the ones in Notion databases, with the year on the left, the percent on the right and the days left under it. On Notion colors it sits quietly on your page.

Year in dots

One dot for each day, 365 of them in 2026. Filled dots are days behind you and the ringed one is today. Make the embed taller and the dots grow.

Progress ring

The percent sits inside a ring, with the title and days left beside it. In a narrow block the text drops below the ring. Shown here in sage green.

Day, week, month and year

Today, this week, this month and this year as four bars, one under another. A good fit for the top of a daily planner.

Life progress bar

Enter a birth date and every year of a life becomes a dot, 80 unless you pick another number. Some people keep it on their home page as a calm reminder to spend the days well.

Semester progress bar

My own dates works for a semester, a school year, a training plan or a project. Give it a title and the line under the bar counts down the days. This one uses the cute pink look with a rounded font.

Aesthetic month in dots

This month on warm beige in a serif font, with a dot for every day of November.

Dark mode

Leave the background on Notion and the widget turns dark together with your device. If your Notion is always dark, pick Always dark under Your Notion page so the bar never flips back to light.

Questions

Do I have to pay or sign up?

No. The widget costs nothing, asks for no email and puts no logo on your bar. Every look and color on this page is open to anyone.

How exact is the year progress?

It counts from midnight on January 1 to the end of December 31 in the viewer’s own time zone, and leap years like 2028 get 366 days. The percent has one decimal, so it goes up by 0.1 about every nine hours.

How does the life progress bar work?

Choose My life, then enter your birth date and how many years to count (80 unless you change it). The widget shows which year of your life you’re in and what share of those years is behind you. With Dots, every dot stands for one year.

Can I track a semester, a project or a trip?

Yes. Choose My own dates and enter the first and last day. Before the first day the line reads Starts in, on the last day it reads Last day, and after that Done. A title such as Fall semester or Q4 launch tells you which bar is which.

Can I show today, the week, the month and the year together?

Yes, that’s one of the choices under Progress of. Bar stacks four bars, and Ring puts four rings in a row. Four sets of dots would get too small, so with Dots picked you get the bars.

Which day does the week start on?

The one your region uses, so US viewers start on Sunday and most of Europe on Monday. To pin it, open Customize and set Week starts on. It only changes This week.

Do I need to update it?

Never. The widget redraws every minute, and a page that stays open overnight moves on to the new day, month or year by itself.

Will it show in the Notion app on my phone?

Yes. It works in the Notion iPhone app, and the bar, dots or ring scale down to the width of the block.

Can it track my tasks or goals?

This widget measures time, not tasks. For a bar that fills as you tick tasks, a formula inside your Notion database does the job, and our progress bar formula guide writes it for you.

What do you learn about me?

Nothing. The widget sets no cookies, runs no analytics and has no login. Your dates and colors sit in the link you paste, and we don’t save them anywhere.
