About Material Photo Widget
Material Photo Widget is an open-source Android home screen widget for displaying a single photo or a collection of photos. Users can pick photos individually or sync with device folders, and can set an interval or schedule so the widget switches photos automatically as a slideshow. Each widget can also act as a shortcut, with customizable tap actions that open the photo in full screen, launch an app, or open a URL. Appearance controls include borders, opacity, saturation, brightness, offset and padding, plus a choice of six formats and 28 shapes.
The project is described as a free, no-ads, open source alternative for customizing an Android home screen. Downloads are offered from Google Play, IzzyOnDroid and GitHub, and the code is licensed under Apache-2.0. It is an Android-only tool, and no pricing details are listed in the repository.
