🏠 Launch-R v0.4.0 - Gestures & Improved Feel

What's new?

Added

  • Hint in settings sheet under search telling you how "/" will show hidden apps.

  • Haptic feedback when you pick up an app, folder or widget to drag it, and a lighter tap when you drop it.

  • A light haptic tick each time you swipe over to another home screen page.

  • Haptic feedback on the app drawer's mic, ✕ and three-dot menu buttons.

  • New Gestures section in launcher settings.

  • Home screen swipe left / swipe right gestures. When there’s no page to swipe to (swipe left on your last page, swipe right on your first), you can assign an action: open an app, recent apps, launcher settings, app drawer, app drawer search or the notification panel.

  • Recent apps needs the Launch-R accessibility service (Android doesn’t let launchers open recents any other way). It subscribes to no events and can’t read your screen.

  • Icons now pop in with a short spring when you drop them in a new spot.

  • A light haptic tick when dragging to the edge of the screen flips the page, on the home screen and the app drawer.

  • A light haptic tick when you drag an app, folder or widget into an empty spot on the home screen, dock or app drawer.

  • Home screen and dock now show the same insert bar as the app drawer when you hold a dragged icon over the left or right edge of another icon. Drop it there to slot it in between; neighbours in that row shift over into the nearest empty spot (the middle of an icon still makes a folder).

Changed

  • App and folder icons now shrink slightly while you press them and spring back when you let go, so taps feel more responsive. Widgets are not affected.

  • The app drawer's mic, ✕ and three-dot menu buttons get the same press-down effect.

  • Moving apps and folders around now feels smoother, especially on slower phones.

  • New app icon (all assets have been updated to match the new icon aswell).

  • “Swipe up again to go home” and “Swipe up again to search” moved from Search to Gestures, under a new App drawer heading.

  • Dragging an app over another app on the home screen or dock now waits a moment before showing the folder highlight, then gives a light tick when it’s ready to merge, just like the app drawer. Before, the highlight flashed on every app you dragged past.

Fixed

  • Fixed a rare case where quick back-to-back edits could leave your layout out of sync after a restart.

  • Dropping an icon between others on a full dock or home row no longer throws an error; it falls back to a normal drop.
