Dark academia sticky note widget

What a dark academia sticky note widget shows

A sticky note widget holds a few words you need to see: a shopping list, a reminder, a phone number. It works best short, with a bold title and three or four lines.

Type the note straight into a Text layer, or keep notes in WidgetCraft's Tasks, notes & habits section and show them with the Saved notes list. Both are free, stay on the phone and need no permission.

How the dark academia style shapes it

Dark academia widgets look like a leather-bound notebook: deep brown and black grounds, parchment text, a gold accent and classical serif type suited to quotes and reading goals.

• Text: Use a classical serif in parchment and set labels in small capitals.

How to make a dark academia sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #1F1813 and the corner radius to 8. Add a 1-point outline.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #B08D57 at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #E8DCC4 using Cormorant Garamond.
4. Add a second Text layer for the note, one item per line, at size 15 with line spacing 1.7. To show notes you keep in the app instead, add Saved notes.
5. Add thin Shape rules under each line in #9C8B72 at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
6. Add the dark academia ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a thin brass outline inset 7 points, and a short burgundy ribbon (a 10 × 34 rectangle) hanging from the top right like a bookmark.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Everything in this recipe works in the free version.
