Material Photo Widget is as simple as it can be: a home screen widget to display a photo or collection of photos. It is a free, no-ads, open source alternative for people who want to customize their home screen with their favorite photos.

It's easy and simple to add a new widget with your photos. Start from the app or directly from the home screen widget browser on your preferred launcher.

FEATURES

4 aspect ratios: square, tall, wide and original
Customize your square widgets with 10 different shapes
Customize the rounded corners of your tall, wide or original widgets
Choose each photo or sync the widget with selected folders
Set an optional interval and have photos flip automatically
Choose the tap action of each widget: none, view next photo, view in full screen or open another app

PERMISSIONS

RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED — Used to ensure that widgets function correctly after the device is restarted
SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM (optional) — Used to ensure that widgets are updated precisely at the selected interval

The app does not require any storage permissions. Photos and directories are selected using the native pickers and stored within the app to keep data private and secure.

There's no tracking or network communication.

Download Source Issues ChangeLog

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device. Some clients have this repo enabled by default, e.g. Neo Store or, of course, the IzzyOnDroid client by Sunil. With others (like the official client) you'll have to add this repo manually (see the hint on top of the package list for how to do that).
