iPhone lock screen widget to check off tasks without opening app

Mochi's interactive iOS widgets let you mark tasks complete directly on your Home or Lock Screen — the circle is tappable right on the widget, no app launch required.

Short answer

Mochi's widget is genuinely interactive: you add it to your Lock Screen or Home Screen and the task circles respond to taps, marking items done with real-time updates. The widget automatically matches your active skin — so your Lock Screen looks intentional rather than generic. You can point different widget placements at different lists, which is useful if you want groceries on your Lock Screen and a work checklist on your Home Screen.

Try Mochi on a real example first, and check the current App Store listing for exact features and pricing before you decide.
