Literal Launcher

Literal Launcher is a minimalist text-based Android launcher built with Jetpack Compose.

Every element on the screen is a direct tap target — the clock, the date, the battery level, and six positional slots. That's 10 apps, always one tap away, with zero learning curve. The bottom center opens your notification panel.

No complex swipes. No hidden shortcuts. Just intentional taps.

Features:

App Slots: Assign apps to 10 fixed launch positions on the screen. App Chest: Archive rarely used apps in a secondary, directly-launchable space. Renaming: Custom display names for any app. Customization: Change font and UI scale. The Chest is not for hiding apps — it's for archiving them. Apps in the Chest are launchable directly, without moving them back to the main list.

Literal Launcher isn't about finding apps faster. It's about needing to find them less.
