Widgetory: Home Screen Widgets

Widgetory puts useful, good-looking widgets on your home screen, and lets you restyle every one of them.

■ Everyday tools

· Travel FX calculator: convert prices between currencies right on the home screen. Exchange rates update online

· Volume and brightness controls: adjust them without opening Settings (brightness asks for the system settings permission)

· Battery widgets: charge level at a glance as rings, bars and gauges

■ Photo widgets

· Show your own photos in a frame, as a polaroid, or as a polaroid collage

· Slideshow: tap for the next photo or let it change on a timer

· Gold, wood, black and silver frames

■ Clocks

· Analog clocks: aurora, rose gold, neon rim, moon phase, pastel sky

· Digital clocks: dot matrix, pixel, terminal, neon brick and more

· On Android 16 and newer: a flip clock that really flips every minute, glowing nixie tube clocks and a mechanical flip-dot clock

■ Calendars and countdowns

· Month grids, week strips, date cards and today's agenda

· D-day countdowns to a birthday, an exam or a trip, with your own title and date

■ Make it yours

· 88 bundled fonts: seven-segment, pixel, neon, monospace, serif, display. Mix fonts inside one widget

· Recolor each part on its own: dial, hands, second hand, date, weekday, labels, values, icons, gauges

· Text size, weight and alignment, element by element

· Solid, gradient or fully transparent backgrounds with an opacity slider

· Corner radius from square to fully rounded

· 12 or 24 hour, week starting Sunday or Monday, separate Saturday and Sunday colors

· Live preview shows the real result before it reaches your home screen

· Every placed widget keeps its own settings. Save favorite combinations as "My preset"

■ Moving widgets need Android 16

· Animated and interactive widgets (flip, nixie and flip-dot clocks, dice you shake, a snow globe you tilt, dancing cats) run on Android 16 or newer

· On other devices they are hidden from the list, so you never add one and find it frozen

· Every other widget, and the whole color and font editor, works on Android 9 and newer

■ Wallpapers

· Download wallpapers from the in-app collection. Downloads unlock with a rewarded ad; if no ad can be shown, the download is free

■ Nothing gets clipped

· Each widget is rendered for the size it actually occupies, so text and icons are not cut off

· 2x2, 4x2 and 4x4 sizes, dark mode friendly, with transparent backgrounds that blend into your wallpaper

■ Light and private

· Widgets work offline, except the travel FX calculator, which needs a connection to update exchange rates

· Read-only calendar access is requested only if you choose a calendar widget that shows events. Events are used to draw the widget and are never stored or transmitted

· Ads appear only inside the app, never on your home screen widgets

· Usage analytics, crash diagnostics, and information required for ad delivery are sent to Google services; see the Privacy Policy for details

· Your settings live on your device and are removed when you uninstall

Available in English, Korean, Japanese, Spanish, Portuguese (Brazil) and German.
