WidgetCraftGet the appSticky note widgets for Android
A sticky note widget keeps a short note or list on your home screen like a sticky note. 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.
What you need
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.
Typical size: 2 × 2 cells.
Common mistakes
- 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.
