Pastel sticky note widget

What a pastel 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 pastel style shapes it

Pastel widgets use pale pink, mint, lilac and butter yellow with very round corners and soft type. They feel light and friendly and work well for moods, music and small daily notes.

• Text: Use a rounded sans in a dark cocoa tone instead of black so it stays soft.

How to make a pastel sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #FCE8E6 and the corner radius to 30.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #F49AB0 at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #4A3F45 using Nunito.
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 #9A8790 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 pastel sticky note widgets

• Use corner radius of 28 or more.
• Choose text in dark brown or plum, not pure black.
• 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 more than three tints in one widget.
• Do not use thin hairlines; they look harsh here.
