Hi everyone!
I'm happy to share my app, Octopi Launcher, which I've worked on for quite a while now.
Octopi Launcher is a launcher for Android, built with the latest trends in mind, which includes visual and haptic effects, and support for foldables.
Features:
- App drawer, dock and homescreen
- Different homescreen for different screen layout/ orientation/ size/ foldable position
- Widgets and (autoscrolling) widget stacks
- Blur for widget and dock background (experimental)
- Home screen and app drawer folders
- Fine/ free positioning of home screen apps and widgets
- Big home screen icons
- Swipe up/ down actions for icons
- Display drawer items as icons or tiles (or single list); sort by installed date or updated date
- App search + instant launch
- Assign a nickname to an app for instant app search and launch (e.g. searching "ff" launches Firefox instantly)
- Icon pack support
- Wallpaper blur when opening app drawer (on supported devices)
- Work profile support
- Fun animations, reflections and haptic effects
