Ratings and reviews

This Launcher has the best idea for a Minimalist launcher. However, it lacks in some ways. It doesn't have stackable widgets for example. One has to swipe all the way to the top to get to the 9th widget. Icon size can't be resized either. Also, the default widgets on the home screen could be slicker if not adjustable, especially the 'Now Playing' media widget which looks kinda big. As it keeps improving, I'm certain that someday, this will be the best minimalist launcher. Even ahead of Niagara

4/8/24 Day 1: So far the UI design and aesthetic is top notch. Animations are hyper-smooth. However, I don't see any explanations for what things mean or gestures or otherwise anywhere. 4/9/24: I wish I could alter the top 2 widgets on the home page as I can't use any of my clock widgets and I don't need a battery widget. Will update as I find things.

i love this launcher. right now i only have one gripe with it: i want to be able to customize the header on the home screen, where it says "good afternoon!" etc. I just think it would be nice to have some more options there like disabling the words and changing the style. Other than that it's amazing for me. I also think there's great potential to add other pages other than just briefing and notes, like an alarms page or something. Or being able to disable certain pages.
