🏠 Launch-R v0.3.8 - Colossal new search features & Improvements

Added

  • “Swipe up again to go home” setting (Settings, under “Search”). When the app drawer is fully open, swiping up on it closes the drawer and returns you to the home screen. Off by default.

  • “Swipe up again to search” setting (Settings, under “Search”). When the app drawer is fully open, swiping up on it opens the keyboard so you can search. Off by default. Only one of the two swipe-up options can be on at a time.

  • Voice search button in the app drawer search bar. Tap the mic to speak a search, and the results update right away. If your device has no speech recognizer, you'll see a short message instead.

  • Clear button in the app drawer search bar. Once you've typed something, the mic turns into an ✕ that empties the search, brings back the full app grid and keeps the keyboard open.

  • Settings to turn the search bar's mic and ✕ buttons on or off (Settings, under “Search”). Both are on by default.

  • Search hidden apps by starting your search with a "/" For example, "/bank" searches all apps including hidden ones, and a lone "/" lists every hidden app. Hidden apps still stay out of normal search results.

  • Suggestions and recent searches in the app drawer. Tap the search bar and, before you type anything, you'll see your most-used apps and your recent searches. Start typing and they disappear, Tap a recent search to run it again, tap its ✕ to remove it, or tap Clear to remove them all. (NOTE: If you have no history yet, you'll see the normal app grid.)

  • Launch-R now remembers which apps you open. A search is only saved when you open an app from its results. Everything stays on your device, hidden apps are never suggested, and searches starting with "/" are never saved.

  • Setting to turn suggestions and recent searches on or off (Settings, under “Search”). It's on by default.

Changed

  • See-through drawer folders is now on by default. If you've already changed this setting, your choice is kept.

  • Tightened the spacing of the mic and three-dot menu buttons in the search bar so they sit closer together.

Fixed

  • Voice search mic no longer stops responding after a speech app fails to return a result. A stale request is now cleared, so the next tap starts fresh instead of doing nothing until Launch-R restarts.

  • Voice search now checks for a speech recognizer before opening, and shows the "isn't available" message right away when none is found. This also works on Android 11 and newer, where Launch-R previously couldn't see speech apps such as FUTO Voice Input.
