-Choose from any widget you have installed designed for Android’s home screen
-Position the widget anywhere on your screen

-Save up to 5 different floating widget profiles
-Have multiple widgets floating at once

Permissions explained:
- this app can appear on top of other apps : the magic permission that makes the whole thing possible

- run foreground service : needed for the service to continue running and not abruptly close because Android thinks its actually in the background

- have network access & view network connections : crash reporting, this is a very non-standard app, so when something breaks I want to be able to fix it

- control vibration : for touch feedback
