Cheese BTC Widget puts the latest Bitcoin price right on your home screen — nothing else, just a logo, a currency symbol, and the number.When you add the widget you choose what to track: US Dollars, Euros, sats per USD, the constant 1 BTC, or the latest bitcoin block height. Each placed widget remembers its own choice, so you can have several side by side.
Data is fetched over HTTPS from price.cheeserobot.org/price/summary.json (the price data originates from CoinDesk). One round trip carries the current price, the 24-hour and 7-day history series, and the latest-block snapshot. The widget refreshes itself roughly every 30 minutes — Android's minimum update interval for app widgets — and you can tap it to refresh on demand.
Features
* Pick USD ($), EUR (€), sats per USD, 1 BTC, or the latest block height when adding the widget.
* Block-height mode shows the miner / pool name above the block number with a diagonal "stonks-go-up" line behind.
* Auto-sizing text fills the widget as large as it can.
* Optional faint chart background (24h or 7d window).
* Tap to refresh.
* Light/dark theme aware.
* If the network call fails, the widget shows "!" and posts a notification with the actual error reason (HTTP status, JSON shape, etc.) so you know what's wrong.
What this app is NOT
* No tracking. No ads. No analytics.
* No accounts, no signups, no Google services.
* Only one network host is contacted: price.cheeserobot.org. No third-party servers.
* No background services — only Android's normal widget update mechanism.

WhatsNew:
v5.0 - Pick any of 126 currencies.
* The new "Other currency" option opens a picker of 126 fiat
currencies, discovered from the backend catalog and cached for
offline use so the list shows up instantly.
* Every currency now gets the full treatment — 24h sparkline and 7d
change — via the parameterised price feed, not just USD and EUR.
* Quick-picks for US Dollars, Euros, Bitcoin, Sats, and Block height
stay one tap away.
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.
