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.

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 had a strange and suspicious experience with this launcher. Removing apps from my home screen was slow and tedious, with each app needing to be deleted individually. But what really caught my attention was the random pop-ups that would appear, displaying a box containing apps starting with a specific letter - completely unrelated to the app I was removing. This behavior was unsettling, so I uninstalled the launcher to be safe.

I am happy that this launcher exists. Since I have used Z launcher in the past. Scribble gestures can be improved alot. For now, I have found an alternative, rex launcher which has a similar and more polished scribble. I would like to see similar improvements to scribble here too. Current gestures force me to scribble in a single go which is not at all intuitive.

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
