Botanical to-do list widget

What a botanical 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 botanical style shapes it

Botanical widgets bring plants onto the home screen: deep and soft greens, leaf photographs and a calm serif or sans. They pair naturally with nature wallpapers.

• Lists: Use small green dots as markers.
• Text: Use deep green text instead of black.

How to make a botanical to-do list widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 200, the background to #E9EFE4 and the corner radius to 22.

3. Tap Add and choose List. In Data, choose your local task list and limit it to three rows.

6. Add the botanical ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: three leaf shapes (tall ovals) fanning up from the bottom right corner in fern green at about 55% opacity.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.
