A developer has created an open source alternative to KWGT called Sukko.
It is an open source Android app for creating widgets for home and lock screens.
Here’s the project website: https://sadellie.github.io/sukko/
His repo: https://github.com/sadellie/sukko
Its currently in experimental stage and will take a while until a full release.
Current stage
Experimental
- Accessibility features are not implemented
- Expect huge changes in functionality
- Clean installation recommended. Data migration is not guaranteed
- External code contributions are welcomed, but I recommend waiting for alpha stage. There are no contributing guidelines at the moment
- Bug reports and feature requests are discouraged. I know what ku*tom is
- Not for daily usage despite implemented features and overall stability
- Please avoid redistribution on “free and open source android app repositories” 🟢🟦
Development updates: https://t.me/sadellie_dev
Compatibility
- Android 12 / API 31 and higher
- vivo - no, lol
- Pixel and close to AOSP ROMs
- Anything else - visit https://dontkillmyapp.com/ and follow instructions. If that didn’t help - open an issue or buy Pixel

This seems very neat, will be watching the progress. The beta rn is pretty glitchy but its not even released yet.
Maybe add this line to your post?

Yeah, I missed that. Added.
Hopefully, by the time it gets an fdroid release it will be slightly stable.
Interestingly, he says no vivo phones supported.
I get that vivo phones aren’t supported, but the energy and messaging is very off here. “Vivo - no, lol” “open an issue or buy pixel”.
There’s no need to be a condescending dick to your users, you can just write “phones with aggressive task managers might kill the app and break updates”.
Plus I don’t think anybody sane is “buying pixel” just to access a widget app. 🙄
