What a pastel 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 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.

Lists: Use round checkboxes and give each row a soft tinted pill behind it.
Text: Use a rounded sans in a dark cocoa tone instead of black so it stays soft.

Tips for pastel to-do list widgets

Use corner radius of 28 or more.
Choose text in dark brown or plum, not pure black.
Limit the list to three or four rows so each stays easy to tap.
Make finished tasks visibly different: grey text and a strikethrough.
Tap targets on a widget should be at least 48 dp high.
Do not use more than three tints in one widget.
Do not use thin hairlines; they look harsh here.
