A life changer It dawned on me recently that my phone's main screen looked like a gaming platform with weird distracting colourful icons. I'm not a youngster, I want a phone that's practical, under my rule, I love that I can rename apps via their function, change Waze to Navigate for example... I add categories after some app names, e.g. games, so by they all appear in a search. The search option to open apps is great. I will gladly donate, but this is free and no ads. Functions perfectly.

Great minimalist launcher. I set it up for my mother who is blind. Works great in TalkBack mode. The left and right swipe shortcuts are a time saver and very handy. However it would be great to have the possibility to add a few more app on the home screen (in my case 2 more would be perfect - 10 apps in total) Also it would be great if we could set and display app aliases instead of having their full names (which sometimes is too verbose and lengthy)

Hi Vincent, very happy to hear this. By the way, you can rename home screen apps. Long press on them and start typing to see the RENAME option. For more tips, please visit our About page in settings. Have a great new year!

Amazing launcher. Exactly what I've been looking for, for a longtime. I tried many: there always was either too many issues, or basic features missing, or they weren't really lightweight at all. This is simple, lightweight, functional, beautiful. Please, please, please don't ever compromise on the lightweight aspect, it's so hard to find a great launcher for low-performance budget phones, and yours is absolutely awesome.
