BasicLauncher is a distraction-free home screen replacement that puts the essentials front and center: the time, the weather, and your most-used apps — nothing else.
Designed for people who want a clean, fast, and customizable launcher without the clutter of widgets, news feeds, or bloatware.
**Clean home screen**
A large clock and live weather side by side. Date, high/low temperature, precipitation chance, and wind speed at a glance. Swipe left to open the full app drawer, sipe right for recent apps and swipe up for settings.
**Live weather**
Current temperature, conditions, daily high/low, rain probability, and wind speed — updated automatically. Uses your GPS location or a city you choose. Powered by Open-Meteo, a free and open-source weather service.
**Two clocks**
Add a second clock for any timezone in the world — useful when traveling or working across time zones. Each clock has its own label, weather panel, and location.
**App drawer**
All your installed apps in a clean alphabetical list with section headers. Jump to any letter instantly using the sidebar.
**20 app shortcuts**
Pin up to 20 apps in a 4×5 grid on the home screen for one-tap access. Long-press any slot to change it.
