No matter what phone you use, organizing your home screen is an unavoidable topic. As the number of applications needed for daily life increases, it becomes more challenging to spread all the apps out on the home screen. To strike a balance between easy access and neat organization, many people create folders on their home screens to store less frequently used apps.
The advantage of folders is that they save home screen space and allow for more apps, but you still have to click through an extra step each time you want to open an app. In this regard, iOS’s App Library presents apps in various sizes, allowing frequently used apps to be accessed with a single tap while letting you click through to other apps as needed. Folder Widget aims to help us more effectively open apps on Android systems using widgets.
Folder Widget allows us to add various types of widgets to the home screen. We can choose to simply place large icons to showcase our personality or opt for folders of different sizes, even adding backgrounds to enhance their visual appeal.
A practical feature is that, through in-app settings, we can create folders on the home screen similar to the iOS App Library, using a 3+4 layout. You can even try configurations like 2+4+4 or 2*(1+4), if you don’t mind a little math. This way, a single widget can hold as many apps as possible. Beyond adding apps flexibly, we can customize the icons within the folders, even swapping out icon packs, making Folder Widget not just functional but also a way to express individuality.
Additionally, Folder Widget allows us to include system settings, fixed web shortcuts, or app shortcuts within the folders. Overall, Folder Widget can help us better manage our home screen apps. For systems with app drawers, it makes the main screen tidier; for those without an app drawer, it significantly speeds up app location.
