µLauncher is a home screen that lets you start other 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 the app Launcher
by Finn M Glas.

Notable changes:
* 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, so apps like Shelter can be used.
* This app uses the system wallpaper instead of a custom solution.
* The font has been changed to Hack.
* 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.
* 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
