If you are looking forward to add a note to your lock screen, perhaps an address that you need to get to or a grocery list, a free iOS widget app called Today Snippet will do just that for you. The app functions as an extension which allows you to add text from any app. Couple it with the inbuilt Notes app you can also add anything you have saved as a note to your device’s lock screen.

Now, open the Notes application and navigate to the note you would want to on your lock screen. Next, tap on the share button at the very top, the share menu will display with options for the extensions and apps with which you can share the note to.
