Remember the days when you used to add sticky notes to your Windows desktop? Well, from now on you can add sticky notes to your iPhone home screen using Sticky Widgets.
Sticky notes are great for quick notes that you can access instantly. You can bring some of the same features to your iPhone's home screen thanks to widgets first introduced in iOS 14.
The Sticky Widgets app mimics the real-life sticky note experience. Once you add a widget (in small, medium, or large sizes), you can tap on it to edit the text. Sticky Widgets also come with a yellow or pink background.
The entire app runs from the widget itself. After downloading the app, head straight to your iPhone's home screen. Long-press on an empty part of the screen to enter home screen editing mode.
Then, tap the “+” button in the top left corner.
From the app list, select “Sticky Widgets”.
Now you can preview the three different widget sizes (small, medium, and large). Tap the “Add Widget” button to add a widget to your home screen. Let’s see an example below.
Now that the widget has been added, press the “Done” button to save the widget layout.
Select the widget to edit its contents.
Type your note and then press the “Save” button.
When you return to your iPhone's home screen, you'll see that Sticky Widgets will display the updated note.
You can also customize the background and font. Long press the widget and select “Edit Widget”.
From the “Color” section, you will be able to choose between yellow, pink, and blue options. You can also choose between MarkerFelt (which is the default), Noteworthy, and the “Font” font.
The yellow background and MarkerFelt font, of course, are the best combination.
And that's it. You now have a working sticky note on your home screen . Tap on it at any time to remove and change the text displayed in the widget.
You can also add more widgets, in different sizes. In fact, you can have multiple sticky notes and stack them on top of each other!
