icon The home app (the launcher) to replace ugly home apps that are too colourful, distracting, inefficient, and full of non-sensical icons.

Clarity by efficient and elegant design based on text. With configurable quick access to apps, shortcuts, or contacts via a list or by gestures.

Supports app shortcuts, both static and dynamic.

Search function optionally integrates the contact list, and includes a configurable web search.

Tries to have enough configurability without making testing corner cases tedious, to ensure functionality and robustness.

Weather info (uses network and location services, if necessary).

New app developed from scratch. Takes inspiration from Unlauncher (a fork of Slimlauncher), and Nolauncher, and also feedback of users.

While you can download the APKs here directly, you should preferably use an F-Droid client so the app stays up-to-date on your device.
