Red sticky note widget

What a red 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 red style shapes it

Red widgets are bold and energetic. This recipe sets white text on a deep red with a darker red for tracks; red and black is the classic alternative.

• Text: Use white capitals; labels in pale rose.

How to make a red sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #C1121F and the corner radius to 18.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #FFD166 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 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 #FFC9CD 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.

Tips for red sticky note widgets

• Use red as the background and white as text.
• Add black as a third color if needed.
• 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 red text on black for small sizes; it is hard to read.
• Do not mix with pink.
