Steps to reproduce:

1. Make sure you have no browser installed.
2. Click on "About Unlauncher"
3. Crash

There currently does not appear to be any way to pin a progressive web app in Unlauncher (so that you could have it as one of your Top 8 or even just see it listed in the drawer....)

Make it possible to use non-bold font.

Make it possible to use the same font size in the app list as on the home screen.

I've been experimenting with all of the "minimal" launchers on F-Droid the last several days. Unlauncher is my favorite.

The one enhancement I would request is an option to use Java SimpleDateFormats to create both the time and date format on the home screen. Forecastie https://f-droid.org/en/packages/cz.martykan.forecastie/ as an example has a "Custom Date Format" option using SimpleDateFormats.

Currently my date displays as "Sun, M02 28" which is not a format I am accustomed to.

Thanks jkuester for your efforts in creating a clean and simple Android launcher experience.

Wait, there's one more thing I'm missing! I like the 7 favorite apps list that shows up when I swipe upwards once. It would be nice if I could swipe upwards once again, when the 7 favorite apps are visible, to open the whole app drawer.

I think this way is much more intuitive than having to reach the bottom right corner with my thumb! 😸💯

I'm quite a fan of much of what Unlauncher does! It has become my go-to launcher. However, I have to leave my old launcher installed because Unlauncher doesn't provide Recents in Android Pie (and greater); so, if I uninstalled my other launcher, the Recents menu will stop working.

Is it far beyond the scope of unlauncher to provide this? If not, it would be amazing to be able to just have Unlauncher as my only launcher. ☺

Thank you for your work!

Currently, both lists are left aligned, I'd like them right aligned or centred.

Hello,

Thanks for the app.
Would love to have the possibility to order application from app list by frequency of use.
This would allow the use of frequent app without typing each time.

Hi, I stumbled over unlaucher after reading https://maximevaillancourt.com/blog/turning-my-smartphone-into-a-boring-tool. There is a screenshot of the lock screen further down the article.

I've installed unlaucher from f-droid and set it as my default home app. But somehow I still have the stock lock screen and not the screen shown in the screenshot. How do I activate the unlauncher lock screen?

Make it possible to change the names of the apps in the app list.

Looks like something in the latest F-Droid release breaks compatibility with Android 11. None of my current shortcuts do anything, and when I click Apps to see more, only Play Store and Settings show. I believe this was an issue with Slim that was just recently fixed.

When swiping up in the app list, the drawer closes instead of swiping to the top of the list.

See video:

During normal interaction with a device, there are several places where the device's wallpaper is still visible (e.g. the lockscreen, #22). It would make for a much cleaner, end-to-end experience if Unlauncher would set the device's wallpaper to match the background color from the Unlauncher theme.

On the launcher, under the time the month appears as "M01" rather than "January," i.e. "Thu M01 14.

"

Great launcher, thanks a lot!
One issue I ran into: I use shelter (https://github.com/PeterCxy/Shelter) to put serveral apps from Aurora (Google Play) Store into a "work" profile in order to keep them seperated from "personal" F-Droid apps. These "sheltered" apps can't be selected from the list of apps for pinning them to the launch screen. Can you do anything about it?

Looks like the current string for the "About" label is still calling it slim.

I want to make it Dracula themed but I'm unsure what needs to be modified on my fork...

Also, the ability to pick a font would be nice.

Make it possible to change the font size.

Make it possible to align the clock and date left.

Hi,

It would be interesting to be able to change the calendar app. I don’t use the default one.

Thanks for this great app!

The list shows the work profiles apps but doesnt launch any app from the work profile. Only launchs this apps if they are added to the main screen and launched from there. Great launche anyway.

Make it possible to hide the search field.

Hi!
I've been using unlauncher as my default launcher for a while and I'm really liking it!

The thing is that (I believe it was after the launching of v1.0.0) the search started to get slow after some time.

I believe the issue is that the on text change listener is being (re)added on onResume so after a while, the function that handles the event will be called so many times it will become slow.
I've created a pull request that changes this #51

Thanks,

Make it possible to sort by recently used. Allow this for both the homescreen and app list.

Would love to have the Design switch to modes when certain conditions are met. Could be done via time or light-sensor.
For now I just use darkmode because I don't want to burn my eyes at night.

Being able to hide apps from the app list would be helpful for apps you don't want to accidentally start at all, but can't be uninstalled/disabled.

In my case, my phone comes with two apps called "Files", one of which I don't want to use, but neither is "disablable", so I'd need to remember which comes first in the list.

PS. Thanks for the app! Aside from this papercut it suits me perfectly.

Switch between light and dark theme depending on device settings.

Would make handling more easy.

Long-pressing in the app list should not open the launcher settings.

Thanks so much for this launcher, it's terrific :)

I've noticed that when we swipe down to bring up the app list, the cursor is activated in the "search apps" field - the keyboard doesn't appear yet, though. However if we then launch an app from the list, the keyboard is shown when we return to the launcher (via home button or clicking the power button and logging back in), and we have to press the back/down button to dismiss it.

Personally I find this mildly confusing/annoying - would it make sense to either not activate the "search apps" field unless we tap it, or to dismiss the keyboard when we launch an app, to stop it coming up on return to the homescreen?

I'm very new to Android dev but I wouldn't mind giving this a try myself if others agree the change makes sense.

Hello,

Great launcher, thank you for your work!

It might be useful to allow placing the "Search apps" box of the app drawer at the bottom instead of on top, that way it could be easier to tap it to type the name of an app (just like the new Firefox for Android versions have been doing recently).

Thanks again!

This happens when one sets Font size to Big or Huge (seniors do that).
Probably its better to move Options to the Right side of screen above Apps.

Maybe its would be smarter also to replace both Options and Apps with two icons, since they occupy much less space and are just two icons.

Do you also experience this? It's very annoying as it feels very unresponsive....

I personally use Huawei Mate 20 Lite running Android 10.

By default, the phone and camera apps are displayed at the bottom of the left and right of the screen. I would love to be able to customize these as I almost never use any one of them... 😅

Would it be something achievable?

Hello,

I love using Unlauncher on my tablet, but absolutely need landscape mode.

For now I can force it using the Rotation Manager app, but it has a major downside, which is that I have to toggle it off before installing apps or granting permissions then toggle it back on before going to the launcher.

Thanks

Since Unlauncher is primarily text-based, the ability to change the font is an important customization feature.

It would be nice, if Unlauncher respected this option and showed transitions without fading/sliding effects. Or, at least had an option to explicitly disable them.

It'd be smoother to swipe up directly into the app drawer, then pin your "favorites" at the top.

strangely, the settings screen already has it

Make it possible to hide apps.

Make it possible to forget the scrolled position in the app list.

It would be nice if you could group apps in folders in the app list screen.
As an example if I wanted to group social media apps, I could create a folder and add the social media apps inside that folder, so to make it easier to navigate the apps.

If an app is already on the homescreen, do not show it in the app list.

Make it possible to align left, right and center

Before the update to access the launcher settings you had to swipe up and then tap options, the new update adds a button directly on the main screen which is a minor annoyance aesthetically and the button is hardly used.

A suggestion would be to hide the button and make it visible when holding down on the screen. What do you think?

Hi! Your launcher is already quite nice, but I think adding swipe gestures would make it perfect. At least for me. I've seen and used this concept daily in a decluttered launcher, but it breaks all the time and seems abandoned by it's devs.

The feature launches apps of choice when you slide left or right.

What do you think?

Make it possible to change the font size.

Nice laucher! The only thing I'm really missing is the ability to view my notifications and quick controls by swiping down from anywhere on the screen, both when the statusbar is hidden and when it's not.

There has been a number of changes that came in this year to the slim launcher project, not from me mostly but from people contributing. I worry that forks of slim launcher might suffer from upstream changes differing too much from the forks.

Is there a way we could minimize this? I don't know, like modularizing most stuff that's common and separating it into layers, or even have a common separate library like module, I don't know.

I've received great feedback from people not only using slim launcher but also unlauncher too and it's really exciting
