Dash Launcher is a scribble-based home screen launcher — start writing an app's name and it appears instantly.
If you loved Z Launcher or Rez Launcher and miss the simplicity of scribble-to-launch, Dash is built for you. No icon grids, no folders, no clutter. Just scribble and go.

How it works
Start writing any app's name on your home screen. Dash filters your installed apps in real time as you scribble. Tap your app from the results — or set a minimum letter threshold to launch automatically without lifting a finger.
Made a mistake? Swipe right to left to delete the last character and keep going.
It works as your default home screen launcher or alongside your existing launcher as a scribble overlay. Your phone stays clean and distraction-free either way.

Why Dash Launcher?
Most custom launchers add complexity. Dash removes it. If you know what app you want, you shouldn't need to scroll through pages of icons to find it.
Scribble launching is faster than tapping icon grids, more personal than voice commands, and works in any lighting condition. Like Z Launcher and Rez Launcher, Dash puts natural handwriting at the centre of how you interact with your phone.

Early Access
Dash Launcher is fully functional and actively developed. Gesture-based shortcuts and further refinements are coming in upcoming releases. Your feedback shapes what gets built next.

Permissions
Dash Launcher is transparent about what it needs and why:

App list access: to let you assign gestures to your installed apps
Usage access (optional): to sort apps by how often you use them
Vibration: for scribble confirmation feedback
Uninstall trigger: only when you explicitly choose to remove an app

No data leaves your device. No accounts. No tracking.

Dash Launcher is the minimal scribble launcher for people who want their phone to get out of the way. Write to launch. Nothing else.
