ATTENTION:
If you have an issue with refreshing the clock, please follow this link BEFORE you post a negative opinion: https://www.geekdashboard.com/stop-android-killing-apps-background/ to set your phone not to kill the services that are responsible for updating the clock.
The explanation for curious users:
The June/July 2021 Google security update closed the ability to use custom fonts on Android 10 and 11 devices. The widgets can now use the only system-installed fonts, and no one of them at all looks like Nixie Tube numbers. The only option I had to keep still the nixie look of the widget was to change the rendering logic to use the custom font. Unfortunately, this leads to updating time challenges, as Google, for saving battery, regularly limits the number of tasks that can run in the background. So to be able to update the time in the widget, I have to use sets of services to workaround Google limitations. And this would be great if the Android OEM manufacturers wouldn't take part in the war for the best battery performance on the market. Unfortunately, this leads OEMs to restrict access to power even more than Google planned. They tend to kill every not whitelisted app (only major players apps like Facebook, Whatsapp, etc., can survive) to show that their phone is better than the other competitors. So the only way to keep your widget "alive" is to use the setting from the article mentioned above not to kill the refreshing time services.
Nixie Tube Clock Widget displays current time/date and helps set up an alarm.

The app uses custom fonts created especially for this project,
to preserve the battery as well as prevent the Android system from stopping the widget from working.
This widget was tested on many physical devices with no fail.
However, I cannot guarantee proper functionality on all devices.
If you experience any issues, please contact me before you post a review.
I am also open to any suggestions about new features you wish to see on this simple widget (a few of them found their way thanks to users feedback, so don't hesitate to contact me if you have any ideas ;) )
And don't forget to check the Pro version of the app.
