Now Launcher is a text-only Android home screen. Choose essential apps and use your own schedule or Wi-Fi rules to change which apps appear.

YOUR HOME, YOUR CHOICES
• Display apps as a plain-text list, without icon grids, widgets, badges, or feeds.
• Choose the number of apps shown and show or hide the clock, date, mode name, and search button.
• Create modes with selected apps and schedule or connected Wi-Fi triggers.
• Tap the mode name to see why it is active.
• Select a mode manually for one hour, until midnight, or until you change it.

FIND AND MANAGE APPS
• Swipe up or tap Search to find apps by name or initials.
• Long-press a search result to keep it on home, hide it, view app information, or request uninstall through Android.
• Enable an optional confirmation before opening selected apps. Choose to open the app or cancel and return home; no written reason is required.
• Access Android Private Space on supported devices when Now Launcher is your default home app. Private apps appear in a separate search section only while the space is unlocked.
• Swipe down to open notifications on supported devices. Hold an empty area of home to open settings.

PRIVACY AND PERMISSIONS
Launcher settings, rules, and search ranking based on launches through Now Launcher are stored on your device. There are no ads, analytics, launcher accounts, or cloud sync.

Optional location permission is used to read the connected Wi-Fi network name for Wi-Fi rules. Now Launcher does not request GPS coordinates or background location. Other home and search features work without this permission.

Now Launcher does not hold the Internet permission. Optional one-time contributions are processed by the Google Play Store through Google Play Billing; payment processing uses Google Play's services.

All launcher features are available without a contribution. There are no subscriptions or paid feature unlocks.
