Both are fantastic. Rather than choosing have you though to offer them as toggles "focus first" to clear urgent tasks and "all in one" to track overall progress.
Badge Placement: Consistency or Visual Balance?
Even a small indicator can change how the entire interface feels
Adaptive Position
The badge placement changes depending on the icon’s shape and available space. The result feels more visually balanced but requires individual adjustments.
Fixed Position
The badge always appears in the top-right corner. This creates a consistent and predictable system, but on some icons it may feel disconnected or awkwardly placed.
What matters more in a design system: consistency or optical balance?
