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.

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

Ratings and reviews

Launcher is solid, simple and efficient. Fundamentals are there, just too many small quality of life features that are missing here. For 5 stars I want to be seeing a more consistent update schedule, and any sort of road maps/communication from developers. It's been my primary launcher for a solid year and a half or so for now, and I've done my best to circumvent the shortcomings of the launcher, but it's frustratingly not at the point I would be encouraging people to move to it.

I don't think I'll ever move away from the Niagara launcher. Initially I thought it might be too simple but there are hidden structures and folders (called pop-ups) for productivity and real customization of icons, wallpapers, widgets, and so much more. I absolutely fell in love with it. My wife also loves it on her phone after looking at mine. I purchased the pro version for a lifetime after only minutes of using the free version. The devs deserve every penny.

This used to be my favorite launcher for quite a while. I'm a paid user for life. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean much when it constantly freezes or hangs. I tried uninstalling, logging off, etc, to no avail. This happened several months ago and has never been fixed on my Samsung S24 Ultra, 7.0 v15. I know they will blame Samsung, but from a customer perspective, if I can't use something I paid for, regardless of the reason,I rate it appropriately.They should be working with Samsung to fix it.
