Tired of the same old ctrl c & ctrl v Android home launchers? So am I and thus I present Launch-R! inspired by one ui home 5.1 but much better, Launch-R is packed with numerous QOL features and brilliantly designed by yours truly (ResurrectDev1)
- Open Launch-R, or set it as your default home launcher.
- Swipe up to open the app drawer and search bar.
- Tap and hold an app to drag it around. Drop it on top of another app to make a folder.
- Long-press an empty spot on the home screen to manage pages, widgets and wallpaper.
- Tap the three dots in the top right of the app drawer, then Launcher settings to customize the color, font, icon shapes & much much more.
🗂️ App Drawer: Swipe up for a clean drawer with 3-6 columns, voice search, suggestions and recent searches. Optionally open straight into search, loop pages or remember your app positions.
📁 Folders: Drag one app onto another to make a folder, recolor it right from inside, and hover an app over a folder to open it and drop it exactly where you want.
🔍 Fuzzy Search & Tags: Fuzzy search finds apps even with typos, and your own tags (and optionally package names) bring up everything you tagged.
🏠 Customizable Home Screen: Add, remove and reorder pages, pick your default page and a grid of up to 6x8, and lock the layout. Choose dots or a line for page indicators and loop pages if you like.
🪟 Widgets: Add, resize and edit Android widgets with a live placement preview.
🎨 Theming: Orange Factory, AMOLED Black or White Minimal themes, any accent color via hex picker or Material You, and an optional own background image.
🔷 Icons: Five icon shapes, third-party icon packs, themed icons, an icon size slider and optional notification badges.
🔤 Fonts & Text: Five built-in fonts or import your own, plus text scaling and bold text.
🙈 Hide Apps: Keep apps out of sight, and start a search with / to find them anyway.
👆 Gestures: Assign actions to home screen swipes (open an app, recent apps, notification panel and more), adjust the sensitivity, and double tap an empty spot to lock your screen.
⚡ Shortcuts: Long-press an app for its shortcuts, and pin "Add to Home screen" shortcuts right on your home screen. (Default launcher only.)
💾 Backup & Restore: Save your settings, layout, folders, tags and hidden apps to a file and load it back on any device.
📳 Haptics & Animations: Subtle haptics and spring animations throughout, or turn on Reduce animations for slower devices.
Launch-R is under active development. See CHANGELOG.md for the full release history.
Launch-R is free forever: no subscriptions, no ads, and no data harvesting. Just you and your home screen. If Launch-R has helped you or someone you know, consider supporting its continued development so it can keep growing.
