Nextcloud Photo Widget

Shows a random picture from a folder on your Nextcloud server as a home screen widget, without syncing your photo library to the phone. Only one downscaled preview is stored at a time.

Features


• Any number of widgets, each with its own folders, tags, interval, shape and filter

• Random photo from one or more Nextcloud folders, subfolders included

• Tag filter: photos with any of some tags and all of others

• Time span filter: photos of the last days, optionally also of the same days in every earlier year

• Widget shapes: rounded corners, square, circle, oval, pill or cut corners; resizable down to one tile

• Picture changes automatically every 15 minutes to 24 hours, or only on tap

• The photo list is scanned once and then kept up to date by adding only new photos, with photo count, last sync time and sync duration shown; refresh it manually at any time

• Picture filters such as grayscale, sepia or an analog film look; pictures with "snapseed" in the file name are shown unfiltered, as they already have a look

• Tap the left edge for the previous picture, the right edge for the next one; the recent history is kept on the device, also for offline use

• Tap the center to open the picture in the official Nextcloud app; tap the bottom middle of a widget two or more cells high to show or hide the photo's date

• Light, dark or system theme

Privacy
The app only talks to the Nextcloud server you configure. Login uses Nextcloud Login Flow v2, so a revocable app password is stored on the device and never your real password. There is no tracking and no analytics.

Requires Android 8.0 or newer and a Nextcloud server reachable over HTTPS. This is an unofficial app and is not affiliated with Nextcloud GmbH.
