Neo-brutalist to-do list widget

What a neo-brutalist 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 neo-brutalist style shapes it

Neo-brutalism is the playful cousin of brutalism: saturated yellow, pink or mint cards with thick black outlines and a solid black shadow shifted down and right.

• Lists: Use outlined square checkboxes and a coral fill for done.
• Text: Use a bold grotesque sans in black; no grey text at all.
