Material You to-do list widget

What a Material You 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 Material You style shapes it

Material You is the design language Google introduced with Android 12. Widgets use soft tonal colors drawn from the wallpaper, very round corners and big readable numbers. This recipe recreates the look with fixed colors you choose.

• Lists: Place each row on its own tonal pill with 16 points of padding.
• Text: Use a friendly sans at medium weight in a dark tone of the same hue as the background.
