Knickknack: Widgets & Tools

Latent Byte

About this app

Design your own home and lock screen widgets: photo slideshows, live content from any link, and trackers you update with a tap.

PHOTOS
- A single photo, a shuffling slideshow, or a grid of 2 to 9 photos
- Fit or fill, with a focal point so faces stay in frame
- Point a widget at a folder on your phone and new photos join on their own

LIVE FROM ANY LINK
- Show an image, text, feed headlines (RSS, Atom, JSON Feed), a single value from a JSON API, or a web page, whole or just one part of it
- Webcams, radar maps, headlines, prices, or numbers from your own server
- Refresh on Wi-Fi only, pause during quiet hours, and keep the last good copy when a fetch fails
- Optional alerts when a value crosses a limit, text changes, or a feed gets a new top story

TIME & EVENTS
- Countdowns and days-since counters
- World clocks
- Chores with last-done dates

TAP TO TRACK
- Counters, checklists, and habit streaks
- A random picker: your own list, dice, a coin, or a number range
Tap the widget to check in, count, or reset, without opening the app. All trackers work offline.

MADE TO FIT
- A live preview at every size before you place a widget
- Note widgets for anything you want to keep in sight
- Save designs as templates, and export or import them as a backup file
- Privacy mode hides a widget on the lock screen

MORE SMALL TOOLS
- An on-screen ruler you can calibrate with any standard card, like a credit card or ID

ON YOUR PHONE
Photos, notes, and tracker data stay on your phone. Photos from a folder are read through the system picker, so no storage permission is needed.

What’s new

Countdowns can now show several events in one widget, with balanced layouts and a choice of where the emoji sits. The app is ready for more languages.
