Dark academia to-do list widget

What a dark academia 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 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.

• Lists: Number rows with Roman numerals for a syllabus feel.
• Text: Use a classical serif in parchment and set labels in small capitals.

How to make a dark academia to-do list widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 200, the background to #1F1813 and the corner radius to 8. Add a 1-point outline.
2. Add a Text layer for the title "Today" at size 22 in #E8DCC4.
3. Tap Add and choose List. In Data, choose your local task list and limit it to three rows.
4. Set the row text to size 16 in #E8DCC4 and the checkbox to 18 × 18 with radius 4.
5. Style finished rows in #9C8B72 and set the tick color to #B08D57. In Tap, set a row tap to tick the task.
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.
