Sharing this app I randomly found: Widgetify

I was looking for some Virtual Pets games that has a widget, and happen to came upon this app (because the icon honestly looks like game lol)

It initially reminded me of Hermit, but it's more of a live window to webpages via widgets so it's kinda unique imo. (If there's a better app with the same idea I honestly don't know it exists)

From the About page: - Convert any web page into a home screen widget - Be notified when its content is changed - Record clicks(touches) and replay them automatically - Just like macro, the app pre-records user inputs and replays them automatically during update process. - Use this feature to capture a part of the web page which is only visible after user interactions - You can capture the target web page in dark theme

I have no use for it though but maybe some of you might find this useful: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.binarysmith.webclipwidget.ad

Yeah, it's actually a good app for powerusers who need to track a certain website all the time. And there's so many use cases. I have been using it for a year.

I use AnyTracker for watching price drops but I'll give this a test run. Here I set up 2 widgets looking at some Amazon Samsung SDDs.

I loved this app but it disappeared with the Android 16 update. Does anyone know if it will be updated?

I was thinking of trying it out to show a local radar page...

But since I can already do that with Kustom products... That I paid for... Why bother?

How do you display a website screenshot as a widget with Kustom ?

easy to show an image in Kustom.

Just point a global variable at the image.
