Ratings and reviews

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!

I have just installed this launcher. It is what it says, minimal. It is exactly what I was looking for, just a simple home page and a drawer. There is no icon clutter or colours, it is stress-free for the vision. No ads and free, thank you. postdate been using it for several months now and will not go back to icons. I have got so used to this interface that now other mobiles look cluttered to me. Thank you for this. I can keep my smart apps with a minimalist phone look.

the Minimalist minimalist launcher! it's open source and lightweight, also the recent update to the new version was pretty recently, so it means that it's actively maintained, that's cool [6th june 2026 edit.] wait, i returned to this launcher after a long time and found out that the dev added wallpaper support and some other thingies (fonts?.. i remember kinda poorly what was there before and what wasn't) omg... i genuinely love this launcher 😭
