A minimalist, text-based Android launcher

A launcher that gets out of the way.

No icon grids. No widgets. No feed.Just a clock, your favorite apps,and a searchable list of everything else.

Minimal Launcher home screen with a clock and six favorite apps

Your launcher should launch things.

It should not compete for your attention.It should not accumulate clutter.A launcher that keeps the home screen quiet:
a clock, the apps you choose,
and everything else a search away.

The essentials.

A few primary principles.

01

Quiet by default

No icon grid, widgets, content feed, or visual clutter. The home screen contains only what you choose to keep there.

02

Fast when needed

Swipe to the drawer, start typing, and open an app. When one result remains, it launches immediately.

03

Flexible where it matters

Rename apps, hide distractions, configure gestures, use your wallpaper, and adjust typography and theme.

Minimal Launcher removes the noise
and keeps what helps you navigate and organize.

01

Launch quickly

Get from an empty home screen to the app you need without searching through a grid.

02

Organize your way

Keep the home screen small without giving up control over your installed apps.

03

Adjust the interface

Make the quiet surface fit your phone, your wallpaper, and your eyes.

Make it your home screen.

The only setting that matters is choosing which app Android uses as Home.

Set Minimal Launcher as Home.

Settings → Apps → Default apps → Home app

Your home screen does not need to become a destination.

Your phone should ask less of you.Not ask you to do less with it.

01

Not a feed.

No recommendations competing with the apps you meant to open.

02

Not a dashboard.

No panels or widgets asking to be checked before your day has started.

03

Not a performance.

Just a quiet place to begin, with what you keep close and the rest a search away.

“Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.”

— Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
