Grunge to-do list widget

What a grunge 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 grunge style shapes it

Grunge widgets look worn and handmade: faded black and charcoal, off-white typewriter text, strips of tape and one dark red accent. They suit goth, emo and alt home screens.

• Lists: Strike through finished rows with a red line.
• Text: Use a typewriter font in bone white; capitals for labels.

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

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 360 × 200, the background to #1A1818 and the corner radius to 4.
2. Add a Text layer for the title "Today" at size 22 in #E9E4DA.
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 #E9E4DA and the checkbox to 18 × 18 with radius 4.
5. Style finished rows in #8E8780 and set the tick color to #B3212E. In Tap, set a row tap to tick the task.
6. Add the grunge ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a strip of grey "tape" (a 64 × 16 rectangle at 55% opacity, rotated 12°) across the top right corner, and two faint scratch lines.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.
