About µLauncher

µLauncher is a home screen that lets you start other apps using swipe gestures and button presses. It is minimal, efficient and free of distraction. Your home screen only displays the date, time and a wallpaper. Pressing back or swiping up (this can be configured) opens a list of all installed apps, which can be searched efficiently. This is a fork of the app Launcher by Finn M Glas. Features: * You can bind actions to 35 different gestures.

Privacy and F-Droid
