About this app

Lynx Launcher is a customizable replacement for your home screen 📲 that provides a focused, clean and unobtrusive user interface.
Inspired by the Gnome Desktop Environment™ for Linux, Lynx Launcher offers all functionalities of a modern home screen without being too complex or distracting.

Features:


🔶 No distractions or superfluous functions
All available functions are carefully chosen to not clutter the launcher with unnecessary distractions and provide a clean look. You can also hide Applications you cannot uninstall but don't want to see.
🛠️ Customization options
Change the position of the dock, text size, desktop grids, search bar visibility, notification dots(*) and more.
👆 Fast navigation and gestures
Applications, favorites, search and desktop are all reachable with just a single swipe. Want to open a shortcut, setting, app or see a contact using a gesture? No problem!
💚 See your favorite applications and contacts at one place
The favorites screen will show you all your favorite applications and contacts for easy and fast access.
🔍 Extended search functionality
The in-app search function allows you to search for apps, contacts, shortcuts, settings and can be used as a calculator or to start an online search using a search engine of your choice.
🎨 Theming for launcher and icons
You can use your favorite icon theme from Google Play, change the shape of the adaptive icons(*) or even change the whole theme of the Launcher.
🌙 Dark mode support
Choose whether Lynx Launcher should use a dark or a light theme or when the dark theme should be used. You can also change the dark mode individually for parts of the app.

Good launcher for what it's worth. It is really nice to use. However, i would like a little more customization for the 3.99 price. Open Folders at the bottom of the screen get cut off by the home buttons. Would be nice if we could change where they appear or at least change the style. Another thing was, I wanted more pages or desktops, but I'm not sure if I missed it. Having dock show up on other pages would be nice too. Overall i will still use this launcher, i love to see it develop!

Definitely the best launcher out there! It is very smooth, stable and looks fantastic. The launcher also doesn't force you to buy the extra features, infact the free version has all the features I'd ever need. In short, it just works! I do have a feature suggestion however... An easier/quicker way to make folders. This would be much better than dragging each icon from the app list individually.

Great but every now and then it freezes and doesn't let me enter/slide to the other screens. I have to hold down the home page and manage my way through the options there in order to force the app to stop and restart. Normally, I wouldn't hesitate to uninstall an app due to the inconvenience but I really like this app. It's handy and honestly very pleasing to the eye. Please fix the bug.
