Neumorphic sticky note widget

What a neumorphic sticky note widget shows

A sticky note widget holds a few words you need to see: a shopping list, a reminder, a phone number. It works best short, with a bold title and three or four lines.

Type the note straight into a Text layer, or keep notes in WidgetCraft's Tasks, notes & habits section and show them with the Saved notes list. Both are free, stay on the phone and need no permission.

How the neumorphic style shapes it

Neumorphic widgets appear moulded from the same material as the background. Shapes are the same color as the surface and are defined only by a soft light edge and a soft shadow.

• Text: Use a mid-dark slate for text; pure black looks pasted on.

How to make a neumorphic sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #E6EAF0 and the corner radius to 28.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #5B7CFA at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #3B4252 using built-in Sans.
4. Add a second Text layer for the note, one item per line, at size 15 with line spacing 1.7. To show notes you keep in the app instead, add Saved notes.
5. Add thin Shape rules under each line in #8B93A5 at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
6. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.

Everything in this recipe works in the free version.

Tips for neumorphic sticky note widgets

• Make the widget background match the wallpaper color exactly.
• Use shadow radius 10 to 14 with low opacity.
• Four short lines is the most a 2 × 2 note can hold at a readable size.
• Use line breaks rather than long sentences so the note scans at a glance.
• For a list you tick off, use a to-do widget instead.
• Do not use hard outlines.
• Do not use it over a photo wallpaper; the illusion needs a flat color.
