How do I add an AnyList widget to my iOS or Android home screen?

1. Touch-and-hold your device’s screen until the icons jiggle. Then tap the + button.

   

2. Scroll down or search for AnyList.

   

3. Scroll horizontally to choose the desired widget, then tap Add Widget.

   

4. To configure a list widget, tap on the widget while the home screen is still in jiggle mode. Or when not in jiggle mode, touch-and-hold on the widget and select Edit Widget from the pop-up menu.

   

   

5. For single-list widgets, tap the List field and select the desired list to display in the widget. On iOS 17 and later, you can also choose whether tapping an item in the widget crosses it off or opens the app to that item.

   

   For multi-list widgets, tap one of the lists to select a different list for that position. You can touch-and-hold the 3-bar icon to the right of a list to drag-and-drop it into a new position.
