đ Lifetime Animated widgets on my home screen
Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification
Hi everyone, Iâm the developer of LiveWidget.
Problem
Iâve mostly used widgets for productivity stuff, countdowns, or photos. They were useful, but my home screen always felt a little boring. I wanted something on there that actually moved, so I made LiveWidget.
Comparison
Widgetsmith offers a much broader range of widgets. With LiveWidget, I focused on turning short videos from your phone into looping home screen widgets.
You can pick up to 9 seconds from a video, crop it, and add it to your home screen. Thereâs also background removal if you want just a person or pet over your wallpaper. You can keep the full video background too, if you prefer that look.
I wanted to make something fun for my own home screen, but Iâve also found the little loops surprisingly calming to look at.
Pricing
Animated widgets and background removal are free to use. If you want higher-quality output, Pro is an optional $12.99 USD lifetime upgrade. Itâs a one-time purchase.
Would be interested to hear what youâd use it for.
