The Things to take care of widget
A few tasks you could pick up next, starting with your My List.
This widget shows a few tasks you could do next, each as a pill with its title — and on the medium size, its room.
Tasks you have started come first, then anything on your My List, then a few suggestions from what is ready around the house. Order is the only cue; nothing is labelled, and there is no count of what is left.
- The small and medium sizes show the same set, as many rows as fit. The set holds steady through the day and changes when the house does.
- When nothing is ready it says “Nothing pressing right now”.
- Tapping anywhere on it opens the Focus tab. Tasks aren’t completed from the widget.
It refreshes on its own and whenever you complete something in the app, so a task someone else just finished leaves the Home Screen too. Like suggestions in the app, it shows tasks only while the household has access. It needs iOS 16.1 or later.
