Halloween to-do list widget

What a Halloween 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 Halloween style shapes it

Halloween widgets use pumpkin orange, deep purple and black with a slightly eerie display font. A countdown to 31 October is the obvious centerpiece.

• Lists: Use it for party tasks with purple checkboxes.
• Text: Use pumpkin orange for titles and fog grey for details.
