Mars Launcher: Focus & Speed

Catching Clouds | Minimal Apps

About this app

I built Mars because I couldn't stand my own phone anymore.



Too many icons. Too much color. Too many things designed to pull me back in. Mars Launcher is my attempt to fix that — a minimal, text-based home screen that turns your phone into a tool instead of a trap.



It started as a personal project. Now maybe it's yours too.



🚀 CORE NAVIGATION


- Instant Launch — Swipe up, start typing. The moment your search is unique, the app opens. No tap needed.

- 7 Text Shortcuts — Tap to launch, long-press to assign.

- Swipe Left/Right — Jump to custom shortcuts instantly.

- Settings — Long-press the empty space.



HIDDEN TOOLS


- Clock → long-press for a quick alarm

- Date → long-press for a minimal to-do list

- Weather → long-press for local sunrise & sunset



LOOKS & FEEL


- Double-tap empty space to toggle Dark/Light mode

- Pure black AMOLED background

- Adjustable colors and UI



WHAT MARS WILL NEVER HAVE


No ads. No tracking. No subscription. No bullshit.



Mars is a small indie project — open-source, free forever, and built with the belief that your attention is worth protecting.



Welcome to Mars. It's quieter here.
