I've been working on a launcher for a while now, do help me test it out!

Features include:

  • Widget stacks (with auto scroll)
  • Swipe up and swipe down to launch different apps
  • Display app drawer icons as tiles or a list
  • Individually resize home screen icons, for mixed-size icon layouts
  • Freely position and resize a widget or icon
  • Frosted glass background for widgets (experimental)
  • App drawer folders
  • Fade a widget
  • Separate layouts for different screens for foldables
  • Tap a folder to launch its first app (swipe to open folder)
  • Assign a nickname to an app for instant app search and launch (e.g. searching "ff" launches Firefox instantly)
  • Lots of custom animations and haptics

Planned features include:

  • Profile switching with Tasker support
  • Square tiles for app drawer
  • Swipe to open a widget pop up

Can you group the app drawer by letter so that I can immediately jump to 'S' to launch Sync for Lemmy? It's pretty much the entire reason I can't move away from Microsoft Launcher. I feel this is an essential feature, and I've tried basically every launcher I can find.

Do you mean the A-Z bar on the right of the drawer in Microsoft Launcher?
