Pimi widget is a free, open-source home screen widget from kolakek that shows the date and weather, and it needs Android 13 or newer. The APK is 3.7 MB, carries no ads, and version 3.2.0 was updated on October 29, 2026. TopDown hosts the unmodified file, verified against its SHA-256 checksum.
Adding the widget after install
Pimi widget has no launcher icon, so you will not find it in the app drawer after installing. It runs as a standalone widget, which means you add it from your home screen's widget picker instead.
The developer also includes a built-in weather app. If you prefer another one, the widget can open your favourite weather app when tapped.
Date, weather and a small footprint
Pimi widget puts the date, weather and a few other details in one place, which the developer sums up as your day at a glance. The extra items are not spelled out, so the widget picker preview is the best way to see them. Tapping it opens your favourite weather app, and a built-in weather app is included for anyone without one.
The package is only 3.7 MB, and the developer describes it as lightweight and battery-efficient. It carries no trackers, no ads and no Google services, and it costs nothing. The source code is public on GitHub under LGPL-3.0-or-later.
When an alternative fits better
Pimi widget is narrow in scope: date and weather, nothing else. If you want to restyle the whole phone, the catalog lists Adaptive Theme, Cuscon and Peristyle as other personalization picks. Thirukkural Daily Widget and AuraOrbit are also listed as alternatives.
Devices below Android 13 cannot run this version, so owners of older phones will need a different widget.
