About this app

Turn any website into a live home screen widget! AnyWidget is the web widget app that pins a web page widget to Android—crop exactly what you need, then auto-refresh so scores, prices, dashboards, and feeds stay current without opening a browser.

◆ LIVE WEBSITE WIDGET ON YOUR HOME SCREEN
Paste any URL and create a website widget in seconds. Pin news headlines, crypto tickers, sports scores, status pages, calendars, or your own dashboard as a glanceable home screen widget.

◆ CROP ANY WEB PAGE (NOT JUST THE TOP)
Pinch, pan, and zoom to select the exact region you care about. Confirm once—AnyWidget captures that slice as your web page widget, then keeps it updated in the background.

◆ AUTO-REFRESH THAT ACTUALLY UPDATES
Choose a refresh interval so your live website widget stays fresh. Tap the widget to force a refresh anytime. Free: 30 minutes or slower. Premium unlocks 15-minute refresh.

◆ FIT OR COVER, MULTIPLE SIZES
Pick Cover (fill the slot) or Fit (letterbox the full selection) when you create. Available sizes from compact 2×1 up through large 4×4 and 5×3—so your custom web widgets match your layout.

◆ DESKTOP OR MOBILE VIEW (PREMIUM)
Switch user agent and viewport for sites that look better on desktop. Ideal when a mobile layout wastes your widget space.

◆ PRIVATE SITES (PREMIUM)
HTTP auth and web sign-in keep cookies and session storage for protected pages—so work dashboards and account pages can become widgets too.

◆ EDIT WITHOUT STARTING OVER
Fine-tune crop and framing from the home screen after creation. Publish when it looks right; AnyWidget recaptures to match.

WHO IT'S FOR
Anyone who checks the same site all day—traders, ops, sports fans, news junkies, students, and power users who want a simple web widget instead of another app icon.

Download AnyWidget and turn any website into your personal home screen dashboard.

Note: Widgets show captured page screenshots that refresh on your schedule. Refresh timing depends on Android battery optimizations and site load time.

Ratings and reviews

I was looking for a replacement for Widgetify after that app finally kicked the bucket for me. This app has potential, but it seems to struggle with some things that Widgetify handled seemlessly. More development is needed. I just spent half an hour trying to frame up a webpage for a widget to no avail. It seems impossible to move the frame when you're capturing a page. The graphics sometimes render differently in the widget than when you're setting it up. Widgets also don't resize dynamically.

I keep on getting an Http 503 error when I try to move the widgets field view. other then that. it seams to work good. just that you're only seeing the header of whatever link you give it.

Thank you for your reply, I missed the live edit option but theres still no way to fit what i want because it doesn't let me resize it smaller after a limit and I'm not paying for desktop mode without knowing if it would work.
