[![][shield-release]][latest-release] [](https://github.com/jrpie/Launcher/actions/workflows/android.yml) [![][shield-license]][license] [][matrix] [][discord] # μLauncher µLauncher is an Android home screen that lets you launch apps using swipe gestures and button presses. It is *minimal, efficient and free of distraction*. You can also [get it on Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.jrpie.android.launcher), but I don't recommend that. µLauncher is a fork of [finnmglas's app Launcher][original-repo]. An incomplete list of changes can be found [here](docs/launcher.md). ## Features µLauncher only displays the date, time and a wallpaper. Pressing back or swiping up (this can be configured) opens a list of all installed apps, which can be searched efficiently. The following gestures are available: - volume up / down, - swipe up / down / left / right, - swipe with two fingers, - swipe on the left / right resp. top / bottom edge, - tap, then swipe up / down / left / right, - draw < / > / V / Λ - click on date / time, - double click, - long click, - back button. To every gesture you can bind one of the following actions: - launch an app, - open a list of all / favorite / private apps, - open µLauncher settings, - toggle private space lock, - lock the screen, - toggle the torch, - volume up / down, - go to previous / next audio track. µLauncher is compatible with [work profile](https://www.android.com/enterprise/work-profile/), so apps like [Shelter](https://gitea.angry.im/PeterCxy/Shelter) can be used. By default the font is set to [Hack][hack-font], but other fonts can be selected. ## Contributing There are several ways to contribute to this app: * You can add or improve [translations][toolate].
* If you find a bug or have an idea for a new feature you can [join the chat][chat] or open an [issue][issues]. Please note that I work on this project in my free time. Thus I might not respond immediately and not all ideas will be implemented. * You can implement a new feature yourself: - Create a fork of this repository: [![][shield-gh-fork]][fork] - Create a new branch named `feature/` or `fix/` and commit your changes. - Open a new pull request. See [build.md](docs/build.md) for instructions how to build this project. The [CI pipeline](https://github.com/jrpie/Launcher/actions) automatically creates debug builds. Note that those are not signed. --- [hack-font]: https://sourcefoundry.org/hack/ [original-repo]: https://github.com/finnmglas/Launcher [toolate]: https://toolate.othing.xyz/projects/jrpie-launcher/ [issues]: https://github.com/jrpie/Launcher/issues/ [fork]: https://github.com/jrpie/Launcher/fork/ [store-googleplay]: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.jrpie.android.launcher [store-googleplay-badgecampain]: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.jrpie.android.launcher&pcampaignid=pcampaignidMKT-Other-global-all-co-prtnr-py-PartBadge-Mar2515-1 [store-fdroid]: https://f-droid.org/packages/de.jrpie.android.launcher/ [shield-release]: https://img.shields.io/github/v/release/jrpie/Launcher?style=flat [latest-release]: https://github.com/jrpie/Launcher/releases/latest [shield-contribute]: https://img.shields.io/badge/contributions-welcome-007ec6.svg?style=flat [shield-license]: https://img.shields.io/badge/license-MIT-007ec6?style=flat [shield-gh-watch]: https://img.shields.io/github/watchers/jrpie/Launcher?label=Watch&style=social [shield-gh-star]: https://img.shields.io/github/stars/jrpie/Launcher?label=Star&style=social [shield-gh-fork]: https://img.shields.io/github/forks/jrpie/Launcher?label=Fork&style=social [matrix]: https://s.jrpie.de/launcher-matrix [discord]: https://s.jrpie.de/launcher-discord [chat]: https://s.jrpie.de/launcher-chat [license]: https://github.com/jrpie/Launcher/blob/master/LICENSE
