Minimalist Focus Launcher

Minimalist Launcher is an Android home launcher designed for people who want less noise, fewer distractions, and a cleaner daily phone experience.

Instead of a crowded home screen, you get a calm layout focused on time, date, and the apps you actually use. Open what you need quickly, hide what you do not want to see, and stay in control with focus tools built directly into the launcher.

What you can do with Minimalist Launcher:

- Keep your home screen simple
See a clean home with large time and date, subtle UI, and minimal visual clutter.

- Launch apps fast
Open apps from a searchable app list, with optional auto-open keyboard for even faster access.

- Use favorites for quick access
Pin up to 4 favorite apps on the home screen for instant launch.

Important notes:

- Built for Android launcher usage.
- To enable all blocking features, some Android permissions are required (such as
Usage Access and Display Over Other Apps).
- Accessibility Service: Minimalist Launcher uses Android's Accessibility Service
to detect which app is in the foreground. This is used solely to enforce Focus
Mode app blocking and to detect hidden app launches. It does not read screen
content, log keystrokes, or collect any personal data. The service only activates
when you explicitly enable it in Android Accessibility settings.
- You can still use the app as a simple launcher even if you do not enable every
advanced feature.

- Organize apps into folders
Create, rename, expand/collapse, and remove folders in the app list to keep your app drawer tidy.

- Track recent installs
See recently installed apps grouped separately so new apps are easy to find.

- Hide distracting apps
Hide selected apps from normal app browsing, then manage them later from Hidden Apps.

- Monitor hidden app usage
If hidden apps are opened from outside the launcher, an overlay can block access and show controlled options.

- Focus Mode with real blocking
Start focus sessions (30m, 1h, 2h, 3h, or custom time). During focus mode, distracting apps are blocked and only allowed apps can be used.

- Choose what is allowed during focus
Allow phone and camera shortcuts, and select up to 4 additional excluded apps for focus sessions.

- Keep visibility during focus sessions
View a live focus countdown directly on the home screen.

- Customize core shortcuts
Set preferred apps for clock, calendar, phone, and camera actions from within the launcher.

- Personalize the look
Pick from built-in themes, create custom themes, edit color palettes, and switch fonts (including multiple Google Fonts options).

- Use practical launcher controls
Optionally swipe down for notification panel, switch 12/24-hour time, and slide to open apps.

- Access system controls quickly
Open system settings, app info, uninstall dialogs, and default launcher settings directly from the app.
