It is minimal, efficient and free of distraction.

The source code is available on GitHub

You can also get it on Google Play, but I don’t recommend that.

</h2>
|
||
<p>µLauncher aims to turn your phone into an efficient tool.
|
||
By default, the home screen only displays the date, time and a wallpaper.
|
||
The most important apps (as well as some additional <a href="/docs/actions-and-gestures/#available-actions">actions</a>) can be bound one of 35 gestures, e.g. swipe right to open Signal, swipe down to open the browser or press a volume button to turn on the flashlight. An complete list of
|
||
actions and gestures can be found <a href="/docs/actions-and-gestures">here</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>Pressing back or swiping up<sup id="fnref:1"><a href="#fn:1" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">1</a></sup> opens a list of all installed apps,
|
||
which can be searched efficiently.
|
||
Once only one app matches the search it is launched automatically<sup id="fnref:2"><a href="#fn:2" class="footnote-ref" role="doc-noteref">2</a></sup>,
|
||
usually typing two or three characters suffices.</p>
|
||
<p>μLauncher strives to be minimal software in the sense of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_philosophy">Unix philosophy</a>.</p>
|
||
<p>μLauncher is opinionated software.
|
||
It is built around the main concept of actions and gestures and searching for everything else.
|
||
Not every feature fits this approach well, e.g.,
|
||
μLauncher does not support organizing apps in directories or in a grid layout like other launchers do.
|
||
If you dislike this approach, that is no problem,
|
||
other <a href="/docs/alternatives.md">great open source alternatives</a> exist!</p>
