# 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*.
|
|
|
|
Your home screen only displays the date, time and a wallpaper.
|
|
Pressing back or swiping up (this can be configures) opens a list
|
|
of all installed apps, which can be searched efficiently.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a fork of [finnmglas's app Launcher][original-repo].

|
|
## Notable changes compared to [Finn's Launcher][original-repo]:
|
|
|
|
* Edge gestures: There is a setting to allow distinguishing swiping at the edges of the screen from swiping in the center.
|
|
* Compatible with [work profile](https://www.android.com/enterprise/work-profile/), so apps like [Shelter](https://gitea.angry.im/PeterCxy/Shelter) can be used.
|
|
* The home button now works as expected.
|
|
|
|
### Visual
|
|
* This app uses the system wallpaper instead of a custom solution.
|
|
* The font has been changed to [Hack][hack-font].
|
|
* Font Awesome Icons were replaced by Material icons.
|
|
* The gear button on the home screen was removed. Instead pressing back opens the list of applications and the app settings are accessible from there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Search
|
|
* The search algorithm was modified to prefer matches at the beginning of the app name, i.e. when searching for `"te"`, `"termux"` is sorted before `"notes"`.
|
|
* The search bar was moved to the bottom of the screen.
|
|
|
|
### Technical
|
|
* Small improvements to the gesture detection.
|
|
* Different apps set as default.
|
|
* Package name was changed to `de.jrpie.android.launcher` to avoid clashing with the original app.
|
|
* Dropped support for API < 21 (i.e. pre Lollypop)
|
|
* Some refactoring
