Notion To-Do List Widgets

A Notion to-do list widget is a lightweight task list you embed as a block — add tasks, check them off, and they save automatically, with zero database setup. It's for the quick, disposable lists that don't deserve a full Notion database: today's errands, a packing list, a three-item focus list. Paste the widget's embed URL into Notion and choose "Create embed" to add one.

How to add a to-do list widget to Notion

  1. 1

    Copy a to-do widget's embed URL

    Pick a style below and click "Copy embed URL" on its page.

  2. 2

    Embed it where you plan your day

    Paste the URL into Notion and choose "Create embed". A narrow column beside your calendar or timer works well.

  3. 3

    Add tasks — they persist automatically

    Type tasks and check them off as you go. The list saves in your browser, so it's exactly as you left it next time you open the page.

Best for

  • A daily "today" list that lives at the top of your dashboard.
  • Quick capture when a full Notion database is overkill.
  • Aesthetic setups where the task list should match the theme.

Frequently asked questions

Why use a to-do widget instead of Notion checkboxes?

Notion checkboxes work, but the widget keeps a self-contained, styled list that saves automatically and doesn't clutter your page structure — handy for disposable daily lists.

Where are my tasks stored?

In your browser's local storage on your device. That means they persist between visits on the same browser but don't sync across devices.

Can I share the list with teammates?

No — each viewer sees their own list. For shared task tracking, use a Notion database; these widgets are for personal quick lists.

Is there a limit on tasks?

No practical limit, but the widget is designed for short focused lists — a scrollable handful of items rather than a project backlog.
