  • I have searched existing issues for this feature.

Motivation behind feature

This way people are more likely to scroll less
...

Proposed Feature

Instead of alphabetical, have an option to sort by recently used in the app drawer. Also make it possible to sort by recently used in the homescreen and make sure the apps present on the homescreen are then not repeated in the drawer.

looking into this feature it seems like we would need to add android.permission.PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS as well as needing that we would need to do quite a bit of reworking how we receive the list of apps so ill need to look into this a bit more before i make the chose if i want to go with it or not. i hope you understand.

if you are able to find a launcher currently on fdroid that does this i could look into there codebase and see how they have it done and maybe work on this a bit faster in doing so too

Hello @Donkey-Doug and @nskvortsov, I'm in the process of developing this feature, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on how we should present the display for recent apps. Your insights would greatly contribute to optimizing our approach.

I am considering doing the recent apps with icons line this screenshot and they are always at the top. also it only shows the last 10 apps i may make this configurable too.

Any apps with the dots next to them are the latest apps used in the order they were last used.

You can config the number of apps to display too in the settings as well as enabling the feature.

The next task will be pined apps.
