What a Swiss 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 Swiss style shapes it

Swiss style, also called International Typographic Style, relies on a strict grid, a neutral sans, left alignment and strong size contrast, usually in black, white and red.

Lists: Align rows to a strict left edge with small numbers.
Text: Use one neutral sans, left-aligned, in two sizes only.
