About this app

The traditional home screen we know was made more than a decade ago when phone screens were smaller than your credit card. Smartphones keep growing, but not your fingers. The minimalist Niagara Launcher makes everything accessible with one hand and lets you focus on what matters.

šŸ† "The best Android app I've used in years" Ā· Joe Maring, Screen Rant

šŸ† "It changed the way I look at the full deviceā€”big time" Ā· Lewis Hilsenteger, Unbox Therapy

šŸ† Among the best launchers of 2022, according to Android Police, Tom's Guide, 9to5Google, Android Central, Android Authority, and Lifewire

ā–Œ Top reasons to use Niagara Launcher:

āœ‹ Ergonomic efficiency Ā· Access everything with one hand - no matter how big your phone is.

šŸŒŠ Adaptive list Ā· In contrast to a rigid grid layout used by other Android launchers, Niagara Launcher's list can adapt to your needs. The media player, incoming messages, or calendar events: everything pops in when it needs to.

šŸ„ā€ā™€ Wave alphabet Ā· Efficiently reach every app without even having to open an app drawer. The launcher's wave animation does not only feel satisfying but also helps you navigate your phone with just one hand.

šŸ’¬ Embedded notifications Ā· Not just notification dots: Read and respond to notifications right from your home screen.

šŸŽÆ Stay focused Ā· The streamlined and minimalist design declutters your home screen, reduces distractions, and is super easy to use.

ā›” Ad-free Ā· Having to endure advertisements on a minimalist launcher designed to keep you focused does not make sense. Even the free version is also completely ad-free.

āš” Lightweight & lightning fast Ā· Being minimalist and fluid are two of the most important aspects of Niagara Launcher. The home screen app runs smoothly on all phones. With just a few megabytes in size, no space is wasted.

āœØ Material You Theming Ā· Niagara Launcher adopted Material You, Android's new expressive design system, to make your home screen truly yours. Set an awesome wallpaper, and Niagara Launcher instantly themes around it. We went one step further by bringing Material You to everyone by backporting it to all Android versions.

šŸ¦„ Personalize your home screen Ā· Impress your friends with Niagara Launcher's clean look and customize it to your needs. Personalize it with our integrated icon pack, fonts, and wallpapers, or use your own.

šŸƒ Active development & great community Ā· Niagara Launcher is in active development and has a very supportive community. If you ever have a problem or want to voice your opinions about the launcher, please join us:

Phenomenal. Everything I was searching for in a launcher. I was going to go with one of the extreme minimal launchers, black and white as a kind of phone cleanse, but I always hate how inefficient and boring they are after a while. I found this and thought it looked neat. Turns out it is. Epic customization features that give quick access to all your apps, but negate unintentional zombie scrolling and app opening. Integrated calendar looks phenomenal and the pop up folders are a game changer.

I love the simplicity of this launcher, and how it helps to make my phone more of a utility device than a source of distraction. Unfortunately, it regularly renders my 'show all open apps' (android square) button on screen ineffective. A restart restored it briefly, but quickly stops working again. I'll likely live with it, as the benefits outweigh annoyance of needing to regularly restart. However, this certainly keeps me from being willing to buy the paid version.

Love this launcher; has been mostly happily using it for a couple of years. I wish there was an option to not show app icons & album art in the media widget (making it pure text + prev/play/next buttons), for a more minimalist, cleaner look. I also can't find an option to display not only events but also tasks from my Google Calendar on home screen & in the agenda (which pops up when tapping the weather widget on home screen) - otherwise it seems a bit pointless, missing half the info I need.

Hi Veronika, thanks for your review! The dim wallpaper effect is used in the app list for readability as the user is searching for apps, meanwhile the favorites are usually more muscle memory or easily identified so it seemed unnecessary. We try to limit configuration to keep the launcher as simple as possible, but I'll forward the request. ā€”Mug
