How to Put a To-Do on the iPhone Lock Screen
With One Task
- Open One Task, and add the tasks that you want to do today.
- Lock the iPhone, touch and hold the Lock Screen, and tap “Customize”.
- Tap “Add Widgets” (or the row of widgets, when it already has widgets), and choose One Task. Tap its widget to add it.
- Tap “Done”.
The widget shows one task. Tap the widget to complete the task, and the next task shows. One Task is not a full to-do app: it works best with only the tasks for today.

Without an app
The Reminders app has a Lock Screen widget:
- Touch and hold the Lock Screen, and tap “Customize”.
- Tap “Add Widgets”, choose Reminders, and tap its widget to add it.
- Tap “Done”.
The widget shows your next reminders. This is the better way when you want to see more than one task, or when your tasks are already in Reminders.
