About Smartspacer
Smartspacer is a customisable widget for Android that can upgrade the built-in At a Glance on Pixels without root, while keeping existing At a Glance functionality. It provides a widget that works with any launcher and can show At a Glance content on third-party launchers.
It includes a plugin system with an in-app repository for pulling data from other apps, a requirements system for showing items based on context such as the gym or store, and a full-screen Expanded Smartspace with widgets and shortcuts. Upgrading the built-in At a Glance on Pixel lock and home screens requires Shizuku, and use as a Google Discover replacement depends on launcher compatibility.
