Scandinavian sticky note widget

What a Scandinavian 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 Scandinavian style shapes it

Scandinavian widgets follow Nordic interiors: white and pale grey, a touch of light wood or dusty blue, simple sans type and nothing unnecessary. Calm, warm and practical.

• Text: Use a plain regular sans in charcoal and avoid capitals.

How to make a Scandinavian sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #F7F5F2 and the corner radius to 14.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #7F9AAE at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #2E2E2C 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 #9A968E 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 Scandinavian sticky note widgets

• Add one warm wood color to an otherwise cool palette.
• Keep layouts left-aligned and tidy.
• 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 saturated colors.
• Do not decorate; function is the style.
