About this app

Minimo Launcher is a minimalist Android launcher for a clean, distraction-free home screen. Replace visual clutter with a simple, text-first layout that keeps your favorite apps within reach and everything else in a fast, searchable app drawer.

Designed for digital minimalism, focus, and productivity, Minimo helps you use your phone more intentionally. Its lightweight interface gives you the essentials without unnecessary distractions or a complicated setup.

No clutter. No distractions. Just the apps you need.

Key Features:
- Minimalist Home Screen: Enjoy a clean, text-based launcher with optional app icons for a simple Android home screen that matches your style.
- Fast App Search: Find and launch installed apps quickly from a searchable app drawer. Enable A-Z fast scrolling, move or hide the search bar, and automatically open the only matching result.
- Simple App Management: Add and reorder favorite apps, rename apps, hide apps you rarely use, and uninstall or open app information directly from the launcher.
- Helpful Customization: Choose custom fonts and font sizes, adjust app spacing and alignment, use light, dark, black, system, or dynamic color themes, and personalize app icon size and placement.
- Wallpaper Controls: Use your wallpaper, dim it for readability, or match the wallpaper to your theme color.
- Clock and At-a-Glance Information: Add an optional home screen clock with date and 24-hour format, show battery level, display notification dots, or view a daily screen-time widget.
- Useful Gestures and Shortcuts: Double-tap to lock your screen, assign apps to left and right swipe gestures, open the app drawer with the Back button, and keep web shortcuts on your home screen.
- Flexible Layout: Customize horizontal and vertical alignment, hide the status or navigation bar, and use Minimo in portrait or landscape orientation.
- Lightweight Performance: Built to be resource-efficient for a smooth, responsive launcher experience with minimal battery impact.
- Privacy Focused: Your data is yours. Minimo does not track you or collect personal information.

Ratings and reviews

App Simpilicity at it's best. Fast, customisable and really clean. As a Niagara launcher Pro subscription user for four years, this has replaced it as my new favourite app. I have tried lots of paid and open source launchers but this is by far the best I have used. Lastly, I noticed the developer has created another app for seniors, very thoughtful. I will need that in a few years methinks ;-) Thank you.

hey you launcher is really really good bro it has good features and customisation hope more comes and you get supports an issue I noticed was sometimes the back gesture stops working you have when using a app or game , I have to go to home screen then back to app then back button works again this only happens when using minimo launcher edit(reply): it stops working randomly , it wasn't problem with other launchers

i like it over other launcher cause of how much you can adjust how the app list works. it helps my focus to set every app to hidden so I can't see it but still have access to it through typing the name in the search bar. small gripe would be I wish it was possible to set no favourite apps and not have the 'add favs' text pop up on the home screen. I like having an empty home screen with just the clock/date/screentime. edit: thanks for the update! appreciate the work you've put into the app!
