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

Almost perfect. I'm on day 2 of my premium trial and it took a minute but I'm falling in love with this launcher. However, I have one true complaint I hope can be resolved; when returning to the home screen from an app, all the icons have disappeared and then they reappear in a really harsh way. It's surprisingly jarring as everything else is so smooth, especially things that usually aren't like interacting with widgets and folders. This is an almost perfect launcher for me. Thank you!

Mixed feelings. The app has a lot of great customization but also missing some very simple things that they have no intention of adding. Simple things like being able to move the location of folders in my app list; the feature has been requested multiple times and their response is just that they don't think it's a feature worth adding? Would be great for organization.

I'm still using the launcher, but it needs an option to move the alphabet to the other side, or have it only take up the bottom half of the screen so it wouldn't interfere with full-width widgets, many of which have buttons on the right side. Currently, the app description of "highly customizable" is a bit of a reach, considering you can't actually adjust any functions. Only the aesthetics (icons, fonts, etc) can be personalized with ease, but nothing with much practical use.
