About this app

A launcher is not just a home, it needs to be an experience.

👨‍💻 Support Chat: t.me/HyperionHub
🗞 Hyperion Dock (Enable Google Feed): prjkt.io/dock

We believe that not only should everyone deserve a sweet, feature-filled launcher with a beautiful UX, we wanted it to always be up to date with the best of what Google has to offer at a consistent pace, as well as consistently pushing new tweaks and customization options that users want...without the bloat!

We streamlined this launcher for ourselves; by bringing the best features we love from many launchers found on the market and creating a unified experience - we can truly call this home. As usual, we have everything that a typical Launcher3 based launcher has, but much more!

Switching to Hyperion led to a big performance improvement in my low-powered, rooted Samsung tablet. However with my Galaxy S23 phone (where I do most of my work) problems with certain widgets cut my productivity and forced me to uninstall. But if those issues can be resolved I'd be more than willing to give this lightweight, speedy launcher another try.

Awesome launcher! It took a lot to make me switch from Nova Launcher, and I've finally found it. The answer ladies and gentlemen - Hyperion Launcher. So nice and customizable, it's a joy to use. Changing icons has never been easier. Aplenty of options for a free user, and a plus is not that expensive either. If only it didn't eat as much of RAM. But .. got plenty so can't complain much. 👍

Ayo, dedicated Android user here. Nothing against Apple, just not my scene.. Anyway I've tried just about every launcher there is - free and pro versions - then one fine day I came across this little gem and I've never gone back. By far the best launcher for Android. Has just the right amount of tweaks to feed the need for personalism, but not so many that it takes forever to set up or feels overwhelming. Intuative, fast, integrates well with other apps. Id purchase it 10 times over. Cheers
