What is Launch0?
Launch0 is a minimal, open-source Android launcher built for productivity. It replaces your home screen with a clean, text-based interface — no icons, no clutter — so you can launch apps faster and stay focused on what matters.
It is a fork of Olauncher by tanujnotes. All credit for the original design and implementation goes to the Olauncher team.
Why minimal + productive?
The average person checks their phone 96 times a day. A minimal home screen removes distractions, and productivity features help you make each interaction count:
- Minimal home screen — no icons, no widgets, just the apps you need as text
- Launch apps faster with instant search and auto-launch
- Stay focused by removing the visual noise that pulls you into apps
- Track your screen time to stay aware of your usage
- Use gesture shortcuts to access apps and controls in a single swipe
Quick Start
- Install Launch0 from the Play Store or build from source
- Set it as your default launcher
- Swipe up to see all apps
- Long press anywhere for settings
TIP
Start typing an app name in the app drawer to auto-launch it.
