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

This launcher changed the way how I use my phone, in a good way. Before I would fill my home screen with widgets and apps, just to fill it. now with this launcher I have the essentials on my home screen, and any app is easy to find in an alphabetical index. Music controls and notifications pop up when needed and are easy to interact with. Because of this launcher, I can no longer go back to a traditional launcher like Nova. Niagara is amazing

I love hate this launcher. The home screen it makes is awesome and the icons and wallpapers are worthwhile enough to download this. However, that's it, you only get a home screen. Sadly, my phone has multiple jobs, my personal stuff, and a ton of things on it. I don't want a home screen that has me search for each app individually and there is no feasible way for me to possibly organize all of the things I to one home screen(even with groupings). If only it allowed multiple screens/spaces.

This is easily my favorite launcher. Some of the latest features are kinda broken though and won't turn off. I keep getting notifications for Usage Breaker even though I turned it off after trying it. I tried to turn off the notifications for that in system settings only to be stuck with a notice on my home screen that it was turned off. I turned it off on purpose because I was disabling the feature and that didn't work. Doesn't hurt the star rating for me though because this app is so good.
