About this app

Lynx Launcher is a customizable replacement for your home screen 📲 that provides a focused, clean and unobtrusive user interface.
Inspired by the Gnome Desktop Environment™ for Linux, Lynx Launcher offers all functionalities of a modern home screen without being too complex or distracting.

Features:


🔶 No distractions or superfluous functions
All available functions are carefully chosen to not clutter the launcher with unnecessary distractions and provide a clean look. You can also hide Applications you cannot uninstall but don't want to see.
🛠️ Customization options
Change the position of the dock, text size, desktop grids, search bar visibility, notification dots(*) and more.
👆 Fast navigation and gestures
Applications, favorites, search and desktop are all reachable with just a single swipe. Want to open a shortcut, setting, app or see a contact using a gesture? No problem!
💚 See your favorite applications and contacts at one place
The favorites screen will show you all your favorite applications and contacts for easy and fast access.
🔍 Extended search functionality
The in-app search function allows you to search for apps, contacts, shortcuts, settings and can be used as a calculator or to start an online search using a search engine of your choice.
🎨 Theming for launcher and icons
You can use your favorite icon theme from Google Play, change the shape of the adaptive icons(*) or even change the whole theme of the Launcher.
🌙 Dark mode support
Choose whether Lynx Launcher should use a dark or a light theme or when the dark theme should be used. You can also change the dark mode individually for parts of the app.

What I've been looking for in a launcher for years. It's fast, lightweight, lets me customize it exactly how I want (Dock on the SIDE! FINALLY I CAN USE THESE HUGE PHONES COMFORTABLY!) I recommend this to anyone looking for a new launcher. My one feature suggestion is to allow the user to set the app drawer to always start at the top, rather than your last scrolled position.

this launcher is amazing, better than any other I've tried, the one thing that I consider "bad" in my opinion is the fact when I download a app and it doesn't appear on my home screen, I have to go and find it in the app drawer. I've looked through the settings but I don't see a option to switch, could the developers make this a option please? but for the most part, the best launcher ever 10/10 couldn't recommend better

love the launcher. there have been times I have to restart my phone though for it to work properly. I had use of my phone but it was like the screen was not responding when I typed to search for a setting or app, or trying to go to the other pages to the left right and the desktop page. otherwise I love this launcher!
