A Google Sheets widget for your home screen
Voice Sheet's home screen widget adds rows to your Google Sheet without navigating the app. Tapping it opens the capture box directly, skipping every other screen, so you write a line and it becomes a row in your connected sheet. It is the shortest path there is between noticing something and recording it.

Why you'll like it
Nothing between you and the row
Opening an app, finding the right screen, and tapping into a field is where logging usually dies. The widget removes all of it — the capture box is the first thing you see.
Fast enough to use in the moment
Speed matters most right when something happens. Pay for something, tap the widget, write one line, and get on with your day before you've forgotten it.
One line is enough
You don't have to log a full day to make it worth opening. A single fragment is a valid capture, which is what makes it a habit rather than a chore.
Or empty your head all at once
The box behind the widget is the same one Quick Capture uses, so you can write ten lines instead of one and every item still becomes its own row.
Works with no signal
Whatever you write is saved as a local draft the moment you type it. Capture on a plane or underground and it sends itself once you're back online.
The row lands in a sheet you own
The widget is a shortcut into your own Google Sheet, not into someone else's database. Everything it captures stays in a spreadsheet you control.
Questions about the home screen widget
- Yes. Voice Sheet's home screen widget opens its capture box directly, so you can write an entry and send it to your connected Google Sheet without navigating the app. Whatever you write is added as a formatted row in the sheet you chose.
- Press and hold an empty part of your home screen to enter widget editing, find Voice Sheet in the widget list, and place it where you want it. The widget ships in the latest version of the app, so update Voice Sheet first if you don't see it listed.
- It opens Voice Sheet's capture box immediately, skipping every other screen in the app. You land in the textbox ready to type or dictate, write your entry, and tap Add Entries to send it to your sheet — two taps in total from the home screen.
- Yes. The widget opens the same box Quick Capture uses, so you can write several lines in one go. The AI reads the whole note, extracts every item, and adds each one to your Google Sheet as its own row in a single submission.
- Yes. Anything you write is saved instantly as a local draft on your device, with no connection required. When you're back online the draft is exactly where you left it, ready to extract and send to your sheet with one tap.

- The widget and the capture box behind it are included in the Voice Sheet paid subscription, alongside voice entry mode and an ad-free experience. They ship in the latest version of the app, so update Voice Sheet to find them.
