About this app

The traditional home screen we know was made more than a decade ago when phone screens were smaller than your credit card. Smartphones keep growing, but not your fingers. The minimalist Niagara Launcher makes everything accessible with one hand and lets you focus on what matters.

🏆 "The best Android app I've used in years" · Joe Maring, Screen Rant

🏆 "It changed the way I look at the full device—big time" · Lewis Hilsenteger, Unbox Therapy

🏆 Among the best launchers of 2022, according to Android Police, Tom's Guide, 9to5Google, Android Central, Android Authority, and Lifewire

▌ Top reasons to use Niagara Launcher:

✋ Ergonomic efficiency · Access everything with one hand - no matter how big your phone is.

🌊 Adaptive list · In contrast to a rigid grid layout used by other Android launchers, Niagara Launcher's list can adapt to your needs. The media player, incoming messages, or calendar events: everything pops in when it needs to.

🏄‍♀ Wave alphabet · Efficiently reach every app without even having to open an app drawer. The launcher's wave animation does not only feel satisfying but also helps you navigate your phone with just one hand.

💬 Embedded notifications · Not just notification dots: Read and respond to notifications right from your home screen.

🎯 Stay focused · The streamlined and minimalist design declutters your home screen, reduces distractions, and is super easy to use.

⛔ Ad-free · Having to endure advertisements on a minimalist launcher designed to keep you focused does not make sense. Even the free version is also completely ad-free.

⚡ Lightweight & lightning fast · Being minimalist and fluid are two of the most important aspects of Niagara Launcher. The home screen app runs smoothly on all phones. With just a few megabytes in size, no space is wasted.

✨ Material You Theming · Niagara Launcher adopted Material You, Android's new expressive design system, to make your home screen truly yours. Set an awesome wallpaper, and Niagara Launcher instantly themes around it. We went one step further by bringing Material You to everyone by backporting it to all Android versions.

🦄 Personalise your home screen · Impress your friends with Niagara Launcher's clean look and customise it to your needs. Personalise it with our integrated icon pack, fonts, and wallpapers, or use your own.

Ratings and reviews

It's my own fault for purchasing the life time version of this based on reviews, without taking advantage of the trial offer. There are a couple things I like about it, and I've been trying hard to like it during the past 20 days. I finally got the home screen looking like something and organized some pop up folders and favorites to feel fairly comfortable. I love the look of the agenda, but can't figure how to include tasks... Changed Tasks to calendar events and it all looks good now.

Sooo close to prefect (imo). I love how this both simplifies and enhances the home screen & app drawer experience. There's only two things which keep this from perfection: icons - we NEED the ability to use external images that aren't attached to icon packs; there's a lot of us who have aesthetics which aren't represented in the available icon packs. Text color - We can pick black or white, but we don't have the ability to pick a color to fully tie in our preferred aesthetics.

A great semi-minimalist launcher. I was looking for a minimalist launcher that wouldn't tempt me with widgets that would grab my attention every time I checked the time or weather. Niagara Launcher is a great compromise. It allows easy access to my favorite apps but keeps my home screen clear. It's calming. Niagara's text based launcher is perfect, and the side "waterfall" launcher is amazingly easy to access my other apps. I even bought the premium version. Recommended!
