WHAT'S IN SMART LAUNCHER:


• Automatic app sorting

Apps are automatically sorted into categories, you won't have to waste time organizing your icons anymore! The advantages of automatic app sorting have been recognized also by Apple which introduced it in their App Library in iOS 14.


• Ambient theme
Smart Launcher automatically changes the theme colors to match your wallpaper.


• Designed to be used with one hand
We moved the items you need to interact the most, in the bottom part of the screen where they are easier to reach.


• Responsive build-in widgets
Smart Launcher includes a full set of responsive widgets.


• Customization
Smart Launcher is completely customizable. You can now modify every single color of the theme unlocking infinite possibilities of color combination. Change fonts on the home screen choosing among thousands of fonts from Google Fonts.


• Smart search
The Smart Launcher search bar allows to quickly find contacts and apps or to perform actions like searching on the web, adding a contact, or performing a calculation.


• Adaptive icons
The icon format introduced with Android 8.0 Oreo is fully supported and available for any Android device! Adaptive icons mean not only customizable shapes but also beautiful and bigger icons!


• Gestures and hotkeys
Both gestures and hotkeys are supported and configurable. You can turn off the screen with a double-tap or show the notification panel with a swipe.


• On-screen notifications
Smart Launcher will now show you which apps have active notifications without requiring you to download an external plugin. This makes the feature more stable and reliable.


• Ultra immersive mode
You can now hide the navigation bar in the launcher to maximize the screen space.


• Protect your apps
You can hide the apps you want and if you want to keep them secret, you can protect them with a PIN.


• Wallpaper selection
Smart Launcher includes a very efficient wallpaper picker that allows you to choose between many sources of pictures. You can also backup your wallpaper before trying a new one!

Smart Launcher requires access to the Android Accessibility API in order to provide some features like turning off the screen or showing the notification panel with a gesture. Enabling the access is optional and in any case, Smart Launcher will never collect any kind of data using this API.

Ratings and reviews

The launcher has a good user interface and experience. Core elements are well thought and it even offers more advanced features for power users. While the standard offering for themes and wallpapers is good, you will also be able to get quite a good amount of customzation done, once you're accustomed to the menus. I would recommend it for anyone looking for a 'just works' stable launcher that offers additional features too.

Best launcher out there. (EDIT April 2024). Not sure if it's due to latest Android or Samsung one ui updates, or Smart launcher itself but there are a lot bugs now for the last couple of months. - notifications won't show up even if you've the icon, you can't see them. - home screen freezes and you can't open the app library - you click on an app folder and it opens another random app - slow and sluggish. Kindly fix it, to get your 5 stars back

The app is great after you take some time to set it up as you prefer. It would be a 5 stars if they add the functionality to swipe up to access the app page even from a secondary home page, as right now you always have to go to the main home page first and that's quite slow and annoying, and also the bottom icons bar should stay the same for every homepage, as right now I have to set it up for every homepage manually. Please add these very needed options.
