Nothing-style sticky note widget

What a Nothing-style 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 Nothing-style style shapes it

Nothing-style widgets copy the dot-matrix look of Nothing phones: numerals built from dots, strict black and white, small technical labels and one red accent. A dot-matrix font does most of the work.

• Text: Use a dot-matrix font for headings and a plain mono for small labels in capitals.

How to make a Nothing-style sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #0A0A0A and the corner radius to 26.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #D71921 at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #FFFFFF using Doto.
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 #8A8A8A at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
6. Add the Nothing-style ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a row of small dots along the bottom, the first six in red.
7. 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 Nothing-style sticky note widgets

• Import a free dot-matrix font such as Doto.
• Use red only as a single dot or one word.
• 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 add color beyond the red accent.
• Do not use more than one dot-matrix line per widget; it gets hard to read.
