This minimalist launcher provides many useful features including
- Minimal homescreen
Quick launch of your most important apps. It's configurable, too!
- Customize the look, make your own clean style
Choose from our large list of photo, gradient and solid themes or create your own.
- Fast access to your favorites and everything else
Fast access to all your apps in a scrollable, sortable & searchable list.
- Favorite, folder and hide your apps
Group apps into folders. Pin apps to the top of your apps list. Hide unwanted and distracting bloatware (available in pro version)
- Hide less important notifications
Our filtered notification drawer is unique. Less important notifications don't interrupt you with vibrations or noise. They won't clutter up your notification bar. But you still receive them and they are accessible with a quick swipe.
- Notified but not distracted
Focus on what is essential. Important notifications still notify you, so you don't miss anything.
- Built to be private
We are not in the business of capturing or selling your data. We don't track any data that identifies you. We even allow you to turn off our anonymous analytics.
- No required permissions = more privacy/security
Many other launchers want 10 or more device permissions. (the notification filter asks for one access but you can turn it off that feature).
- Go longer between charges
Use our true black background to preserve your battery (if your phone has an AMOLED screen).
- Take control of your phone
Before Launcher sorts apps by their size, their installed date and the last time you used them. Uninstall the ones that take up too much space, or you never use.
- Style your app icons
Add our own styles and also add 3rd party icon packs
- Easy set up
