What a Bauhaus to-do list widget shows

A to-do widget works when it is short. Three tasks, a clear title and a box to tap are enough; a long list belongs in an app.

WidgetCraft stores local tasks on the phone, which is a free source and needs no account or permission. Tapping a row can tick the task from the home screen.

How the Bauhaus style shapes it

Bauhaus widgets are built from basic shapes in red, yellow and blue on an off-white ground. Circles become dials, bars become progress and type stays geometric and plain.

Lists: Mark each row with a small colored square or circle instead of a checkbox outline.
Text: Use a geometric sans in capitals and keep it small beside the shapes.

Tips for Bauhaus to-do list widgets

Limit color to red, yellow, blue, black and cream.
Let one large shape dominate each widget.
Limit the list to three or four rows so each stays easy to tap.
Make finished tasks visibly different: grey text and a strikethrough.
Tap targets on a widget should be at least 48 dp high.
Do not use gradients or shadows.
Do not round shapes halfway; use full circles or square corners.
