Any Text · Widgets

Any Text Widgets puts user-entered notes or lists on Apple Home and Lock Screen widgets.

Our take

Consider it if you want to glance at a changing note without opening a full notes app.

Separate widgets and limited Markdown formatting let you customize where each note appears.

Keep in mind: Visible text can be read on the Lock Screen; this is not a secure notes vault.

What you can do

  • Place different text in widgets
  • Style text with Markdown
  • Edit by tapping the widget or using Shortcuts

Good for

  • People who want visible reminders or short lists

Consider alternatives for

  • Anyone needing a full task manager or private display

Limitations & considerations

  • Captured minimum: iOS 26.0.
  • Visible text can be read on the Lock Screen; this is not a secure notes vault.

Privacy & permissions

The listing describes iCloud sync. Avoid putting sensitive information on a visible widget.
