I am a single developer located in Austria. I programmed this app because I couldn't find any other widget that did what I wanted and also looked nice. Because I liked the widget so much, I decided to put some additional work into it and make it available to everyone via PlayStore. I have no interest in your personal data at all. This results in a pretty simple privacy policy,which is stated below and in the app (About-section).


As with all of my apps: Privacy matters!
