About this app
Launcher with deep customization on a single screen
I built this launcher for people to be able to easily access settings and customization all from one screen without having to go on a scavenger hunt to change something simple like row count or font size. I built this app to help me move to a more secure OS and thought oh, other people can use this too!
All your data is stored locally on the device, no exuberant permissions required such as internet connection or any data collection libraries (you can check with apps like TrackerControl or apps that will scan libraries for trackers).
One screen customization with preview windows to view your changes prior to even going into the launcher. Just like most launchers, icons, folders, and everything in the preview areas use bitmaps; while widgets are the only item using Live AndroidView. In the preview section you will see we have multiple ways to customize the launcher with columns & rows being independent of each-other in the Home Screen / App Drawer sections but only being bound by a universal icon size indicator making sure apps and text don't go out of bounds on each-other. In the app drawer you will also see a square check mark box next to the app drawer rows; this selection will switch you between the scroll mode & paged mode drawers and if you scroll further down to the scroll bar/ navigation drop down, you can customize both navigation indicators to you liking. Just above that you will notice an icon text dropdown where you can choose rom various fonts (most popular ones from other Launcher3 forks) & a way to adjust the text size.
Using this app is pretty straight forward and everything is contained in a few screens or less so you spend less time trying to figure out what a selection does or where to find a specific setting and instead just jump right in to customization and setting up the launcher; a feature I felt that most other launchers didn't do well.
Anyways who reads these descriptions anyways. Get in there buddy.

What's new
- What's New I'm close to making another post on reddit as these releases smooth out a lot of the features in here that help modernize the launcher. A big part of what makes other more established launchers "better" I would say are the animations and feel of modernity which is where this app clearly lacks in a lot of its aspects.
- This update rather than fixing major issues which is getting slimmer as I've worked out a lot of them; this one focused on revamping the folder UI to still maintain the feel of my vision for the app while making them feel modern and comparable to other launcher in the style, animations, use-case, etc. There's still a lot I want to add like folder backgrounds, fixing folder sorting section from the popup. You can see yourself, but I re-shaped the folder by making the folder popup itself more modern in animations as well as moving away from the "full screen" folder type I had prior (I can bring this back in a future update that feels more modern) but the full screen folder section just felt very outdated in comparison to what other launchers provide. I will keep the vision and customizability of the app through the folders as you can resize & change columns/rows & in future updates I'll add more customizability to them.
- I also fixed some minor rendering issues & the experimental section which I'll get more into on future updates, but where I'm at right now with the experimental section, it feels much more fluid, I'm still trying to figure out how I can really implement a total launcher style customizability, but I realized were different apps at the end of today.
