Research direction

Start by checking how the Android app defines its launcher icon and whether the project supports time-changing app icons. Compare that with the behavior described in the request and identify any launcher limitations; done means the app drawer icon visibly tells the current time in real time, like Google Clock.

Feature description

Please make the icon of Fossify Clock in the app drawer dynamically tell the time in real time like a widget.
This is how Google Clock worked for years; please see the screenshot.

It's cool and useful. It'll help Fossify app catch up to its proprietary equivalent.
