For the first 48 hours after installation, you can perform all gesture operations as a free trial.

If you are new to AUG L please follow the tutorial (on the first launch after installation)/Help (AUG L Settings -> Help) for understand how AUG L works.

If you found any bug, please inform me (AUG L Settings -> Contact & support).

To make gesture recognition better,
- It is recommend to edit the gestures based on your priority.
- Select a feasible sensitivity of gesture on home(Go to AUG L Settings -> Home).

This app uses the Device Administrator permission - ONLY FOR LOCK SCREEN BY USING SWIPE/GESTURE ACTION.

This app uses the AccessibilityService API for
1) LOCK SCREEN BY USING SWIPE/GESTURE ACTION.
2) SHOW NOTIFICATION BAR/QUICK SETTINGS BAR/RECENT APPS(in some devices only) by using SWIPE/GESTURE ACTION.

Because of some Android policy update, it is not possible to retrieve the unread count of SMS and MISSED CALLS

Ratings and reviews

I've used this for awhile now, and really like it. I like it for its simplicity, first of all. I don't make use of all the features, but I do really like the guest user feature. Very quickly you can switch to guest user, which can be set up to restrict access to certain apps. It's great if you need to share a phone with someone, or are concerned about someone being nosy. One thing, I wish you could manually arrange apps in the app drawer.

After the updation Dock space/ margin area is too small size,confusing with navigation keys..can not open dock icons.😔

This App is very fine, simple, clean and easy to use. Please add weather icon to the clock and unread counter to make this app in- substitutable. The home screen notification icons are very dark. Thanks for dock icon resize update.. It's super and recommended.!!! I do not seem to replace this awesome launcher anytime soon. Please could you update with different icon shapes option. Thanks
