Checklist
A simple to-do checklist you can embed in any Notion page — saves automatically.
About this widget
The Olivtwig Checklist widget is a lightweight to-do list you can embed directly into a Notion page. Add an item, check it off, delete it, or clear the whole list — all changes save to the cloud against the embed's unique URL, so the same list is visible on any device. There's no signup, no extension, no install — paste the URL into Notion and the list lives there forever. The minimal layout fits comfortably inside small Notion embed blocks and stays out of the way of the surrounding page content.
Why a checklist widget when Notion has to-do blocks
Notion's native to-do block is great for single-page task lists, but it doesn't travel. If you want the same checklist visible on multiple Notion pages (or shared with someone whose workspace you can't edit), you'd normally duplicate the block and the two copies fall out of sync immediately. The Checklist widget solves that — one URL, one state, identical on every page or device that opens it. Treat it as a portable shared list rather than a page-bound to-do.
How saving and syncing work
Each Checklist embed has a unique URL with a short ID. Adding, checking, or deleting items saves immediately to the cloud against that ID. Open the URL elsewhere — another laptop, your phone, a teammate's Notion workspace — and the same list appears with the latest state. No account system: anyone with the URL can read and edit, so privacy is URL-discretion.
Where to drop it
Checklist plays well anywhere a small persistent list earns a spot.
- Daily to-dos
- Pin a fresh checklist to your daily start page; clear it at end of day for the next morning's reset.
- Packing list
- Use the same packing checklist URL across pre-trip planning pages so multiple devices see the same status.
- Meeting agenda
- Drop into a recurring meeting template so attendees see and tick agenda items in real time.
- Launch checklist
- Use one URL across pre-launch docs so the marketing, engineering, and ops pages all reflect the same checked state.

Frequently asked questions
Is the Checklist widget free?
Yes. Every Olivtwig widget — including Checklist — is free to use, with no signup or login required.
Are items saved automatically?
Yes. Each embedded Checklist has a unique URL, and adding, checking, or deleting items saves to the cloud immediately. Reopening the URL anywhere restores the latest state.
Can two people edit the same checklist?
Yes. Anyone with the embed URL can edit. There's no account system, so collaboration is URL-based — share the link to invite, keep it private to stay solo.
Is there a limit to how many items?
There's no hard cap, but the widget is sized for short, scannable lists. For very long lists (hundreds of items), Notion's own to-do blocks or a database are a better fit.
Can I have multiple Checklists on one Notion page?
Yes. Click Embed in the gallery for each list — each Checklist gets a fresh URL and tracks items independently, so you can run several side by side.
