Glide Launcher does not read, collect, store, or share the content of your screen or any personal data. This permission is optional, requested only after your explicit consent, and can be turned off at any time.

Install Glide Launcher in 30 seconds — and rediscover your phone.

Ratings and reviews

This is one of the best launchers I've used in a very long time, the developer is incredible, responds quickly & fixes any problems or bugs very fast. It offers an app wheel on the home screen or an edge line both of which make it much faster & easier to search for your all your favorites, among many others. I wish more developers were just like this one, they listen to ideas & are always available to help & they truly care about their product, they set a great example for other developers.

A very excellent innovation which is much welcomed to rescue us from the fatigue of scrolling apps and opening app drawers. This is not a launcher, this is an OS, because it does things perfectly. The frosted glass design is fantastic, allowing my wallpapers to stand out. The Quick-Access Wheel is simply too magical, with smooth and fluid animations. And then the edge line bar, double tap to lock, hiding notification bar, etc, are simply too fantastic. Thank you and keep up the quality❤️

Good and perfect 👌 But everything is not complete yet what I am seeing here is different from the main one
