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.

Get it on F-Droid Get it on Accrescent Get it on Obtainium Get it on GitHub

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

µLauncher is a fork of finnmglas's app Launcher. An incomplete list of changes can be found here.

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, so apps like Shelter can be used.

By default the font is set to Hack, but other fonts can be selected.
