Terminal sticky note widget

What a terminal 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 terminal style shapes it

Terminal widgets look like a command prompt: a black background, green monospace text, a prompt symbol and plain text output instead of graphics.

• Text: Start lines with a prompt such as > or $ and write labels in lowercase.

How to make a terminal sticky note widget in WidgetCraft

1. Create a widget and open Canvas. Set the size to 200 × 200, the background to #050805 and the corner radius to 6. Add a 1-point outline.
2. Add a Shape 52 × 16 at the top center in #39FF6A at 75% opacity, like a strip of tape, and rotate it 2°.
3. Add a Text layer for the title at size 20 in #39FF6A using JetBrains Mono.
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 #2A9D50 at 30% opacity for a ruled-paper look.
6. Add the terminal ornament with Shape layers and move them below the other layers in Layers: a 20-point title bar across the top in the darker green-black, with three small dots at its left like a terminal window.
7. Tap Save, then Add to home screen and resize the widget on your launcher if needed.
