Month Progress
A live month-progress bar for Notion — see how much of this month is left at a glance.
About this widget
The Olivtwig Month Progress widget shows how much of the current calendar month has passed as a clean percentage and progress bar. It refreshes automatically each day, so once you drop it into a Notion page it keeps itself in sync forever. There's no signup, no extension, and no install — paste the embed URL and the bar fills as the month goes by, alongside the current month name, percentage complete, and a count of days passed and days remaining. Designed to make monthly rhythms — billing cycles, sprints, monthly OKRs — feel tangible.
Why a month-progress widget matters
Months disappear faster than they feel like they should. Notion can list your monthly goals or sprint tasks, but it can't show you how much of the month has already gone by. A simple progress bar at the top of your monthly OKRs or sprint page makes time visible — you see the bar fill week by week, and you adjust pace before the 28th sneaks up. Nothing to set up: the widget reads the current date and the length of the current month automatically.
How the percentage is calculated
The progress is the ratio of days elapsed in the current month to the total days in that month (28, 29, 30, or 31). The percentage updates at the day boundary so it doesn't tick distractingly throughout the day. On the 1st of every month the bar resets to ~0% and the month name updates automatically — you don't need to touch the embed.
Where to drop it
Month Progress earns its spot at the top of pages with a monthly rhythm.
- Monthly OKRs
- Sit it above the month's key results so the calendar pressure is always part of the read.
- Sprint planning
- If your team runs monthly sprints, the bar makes mid-sprint check-ins concrete.
- Billing dashboards
- Pair with a subscription tracker — see how much of the billing month is left before invoices land.
- Content calendar
- For monthly publishing cadences, see at a glance how much of the publishing window remains.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Month Progress widget free?
Yes. Every Olivtwig widget — including Month Progress — is free to use, with no signup or login required.
Does the percentage update by itself?
Yes. The widget reads the date from the visitor's browser, so the percentage and days remaining are always current with no action from you.
Does it handle months of different lengths?
Yes. The widget reads the actual length of the current month (28 for February in common years, 29 in leap years, 30 or 31 otherwise) so the percentage is always accurate.
What happens on the 1st of a new month?
The bar resets to roughly 0% and the month name updates to the new month automatically. The embedded widget needs no action from you.
Can I add multiple Month Progress widgets to one page?
You can, but each shows the same percentage — the widget tracks the actual current month, not a custom range, so multiple copies don't display different progress.
