What a sakura 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 sakura style shapes it

Sakura widgets borrow the colors of cherry blossom season: pale petal pink on a soft white ground, a dark bark brown for text and a deeper blossom accent, with drifting petals.

How to make a sakura sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

  1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #FFF7F8 and the corner radius to 24.
  2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #F07FA0 at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
  3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #3D2B2E using Zen Maru Gothic.
  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 #A88B90 at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
  6. Add the sakura ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: four falling petals (small rotated ovals in sakura pink, two of them paler) in the top right.
  7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.
