Who Are We?

Hey, I'm Peter, a 24-year-old student living in Germany and Niagara Launcher's creator. I started this project in 2016 as I was unhappy that phones grew bigger, but my home screen stayed the same. Reaching for my apps wasn't fun anymore. I am so happy that my hobby resonated with Android launcher enthusiasts. With Niagara Launcher's community's help, I could hire Max, my friend I met at university, as my codeveloper and founded a small indie studio.

Feature Highlights

The traditional home screen we know was made more than a decade ago, where 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.

Free Version:

✋ Ergonomic efficiency: Access everything with one hand - no matter how big your phone is.
🌊 Adaptive list: In contrast to a rigid grid layout, Niagara Launcher's list adapts to your needs: Media player, incoming messages, or calendar events - everything pops in when it needs to.
🏄 Wave Alphabet: Efficiently reach every app without even having to open an app drawer. The wave animation does not only feel satisfying but also helps you navigate your phone with just one hand.
💬 Embedded Notifications: Not just notification dots: Read and respond to notifications right from your home screen.
🎯 Focus on what matters: The streamlined & simple design declutters your home screen and reduces distractions.
🌻 Simple by design: We strongly care about building an easy to use and clean interface. Therefore we established four design principles.
⛔ Ad-free: A clean launcher with ads doesn't make sense. Even the free version is completely ad-free.

Niagara Pro:

Niagara Pro is our premium in-app upgrade to unlock all of Niagara Launcher's features.
