A modern, lightweight Android home-screen launcher built entirely with Jetpack Compose and Material 3. It is available in English, Finnish, German, Spanish, French, Portuguese, Russian, Swedish and Turkish (English is the fallback), and free and open-source under the Apache-2.0 license.
This wiki is the user guide. For the project overview and developer notes, see the README.
- Download the latest APK and install it (Android 11 / API 30 or newer).
- Open the app and tap Set as default launcher, or set it from Android's Settings ▸ Apps ▸ Default apps ▸ Home app.
- See Getting Started for the full first-run walkthrough.
After the first install the launcher keeps itself up to date from new GitHub releases — it notifies you and installs with one tap.
