Welcome back to folio, its been a hot minute since a full release and its going to slow down as I can refine and make the launcher more of an identity and this is one of those steps! Enjoy the update and improvements in addition to all the features too!

What's new

  • Control Center and Notification Center, your way: Control Center fills the window in pages with three looks (Clear glass, Frosted and Solid). A switch at the top moves between the two panels, controls can be dragged where you want them, and a pull from the top of any app opens them over it.
  • Six new wallpapers: photographs from Unsplash, each with the photographer's name, next to the two Hiroshige prints. They open full screen first, and only Set changes anything.
  • Today View: swipe right from Home.
  • Home spaced like the iPhone Duo, with slightly larger dock apps. A new Home starts with its apps at the top.
  • Folders you can shape: resize by the corner, drop one app on another to make a folder, sort A to Z.
  • Big Clock: new looks, a color, fine tuning, and place it anywhere on Home.
  • Focus that starts by itself when the phone is unfolded, charging or has headphones in.
  • Motion you can turn down: a Reduce Motion switch, Animation Speed that also covers sheets, icons that dip when you press them, pages that stretch at the first and last page.
  • A setup that asks where you are coming from and lets you pick your Home apps.
  • Settings in three groups: General and Accessibility, Launcher, Extensions.
  • Quick Settings tiles for Folio Notifications and Folio Control Center.
  • The Market keeps itself current: add a source from a GitHub address, with automatic updates. All of it is off until you turn it on.
  • Crackgate, a joke that is off to start with: a pretend Duo hinge fault over other apps that a shake clears. Nothing flashes, and it follows Reduce Motion.

The full list is in the changelog.
