Lawnchair uses the AccessibilityService permission for optional support of making certain system functions more accessible, such as with desktop gestures, like turning the screen off. Lawnchair will automatically prompt you to enable this if it is necessary for your configuration; for many cases it is not! No data is collected from the AccessibilityService; it is merely used to invoke system actions.

Lawnchair uses the Device Administrator permission to lock the screen when a selected gesture is detected. This is optional and disabled by default.

Ratings and reviews

Definitely a five-star application. It's light and easily customized. I really love that I don't have to have my icons splashed across my home screen. Just a touch of the home button opens the tray. At first, I was a bit apprehensive that it doesn't have a weather widget, but soon fell in love with its simplicity and ease of use. There are no unnecessary hard-to-configure bells and whistles, and even better, NO ADS. Would I pay for this app? SURE! It'd be worth it to keep it in development. As far as the weather widget, I simply installed YoWindow. Now I have a total package.

Best launcher of 2018 hands down. I recently began a hunt for a new launcher. Installed a few that I had used previously, and a couple new ones. Each one had things that I really liked, but also things i didn't. Features or settings missing or not having the best look. Then I found lawnchair. It was the best in nearly every category I'd rank a launcher in, and second best if not. Sleek and sexy, with no shortage of customization. Most importantly is how quickly you're able to find a setup that looks great and fits your style and needs. Easily gets 6/5 stars from me.

This is phenomenal. After you get used to the drawer set-up, the customization abilities are much much higher than the One UI and other launchers that I have seen and tried. You have the control over any customization you'd like to make to the fonts, the desktop, and the drawer's nitty gritty details if you'd like, and etc. It rarely bugs out and is pretty much stable in terms of software, so no worries for that as well. This app brought out the thing that pixels are loved for and it's amazing.
