A minimalist launcher (home application) for Android.

It's named 'a' because it's the simplest name I could think of.

Features

Probably the simplest and quickest way to launch apps:

  • Lists apps and favorite contacts
  • Most used ones appear at the top of the list
  • Keyboard shows up immediately so you can start typing to find your item
  • Press Enter to launch the first item in the list
  • Searching for something that's not an app or contact? Enter will search the web
  • Long tap on an app: show app info, long tap on a contact: launch the SMS app on this contact
  • Shows a badge on apps having notifications, and shows them at the top of the list (but you can exclude certain apps from this feature)
  • De-prioritize apps to make them appear at the bottom of the list (for apps that aren't used often but can't be uninstalled, e.g. Samsung Browser)
  • Shortcuts support
  • Dark mode support
  • Show most used items at the bottom instead (there's a setting)
  • No widgets, no nonsense (yes, that's a feature)
