What a flat 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 flat style shapes it

Flat widgets use blocks of solid color with white text and simple shapes. There is no depth at all, which keeps them crisp at any size and quick to build.

Lists: Mark rows with solid circles in the accent color.
Text: Use white text on the color block with a paler tint for labels.
