## Description

Torchlight Launcher by GhostPixel is a keyboard-first Android launcher built for speed, focus, and that classic productivity feel. Inspired by the classic OS 7-era productivity experience It’s a natural fit for devices like the BlackBerry KEYone, BlackBerry KEY2, the Clicks Communicator, and the Unihertz Titan, but it runs great on any Android phone.<br><br>A real Notification Hub, not just a list<br><br>Torchlight’s built-in Notification Hub is designed to help you actually manage your alerts:<br>	•	Group notifications by app so everything stays organized and easy to scan<br>	•	Filter by notification type to focus on what matters right now<br>	•	Notification history so you can find something you dismissed or missed earlier<br>	•	Reply from inside the Hub when an app supports inline replies, without jumping through screens<br><br>Search your apps instantly on QWERTY phones<br><br>On keyboard devices, Torchlight makes app launching feel effortless. Just start typing from the home screen and it automatically opens the app drawer and searches your installed apps in real time. No extra taps, no manual search box.<br><br>Quick sound mode controls<br><br>Change your phone’s sound mode right from the launcher:<br>	•	Mute<br>	•	Vibrate<br>	•	Ring<br><br>At-a-glance unread badges<br><br>On the main launcher page, you get a quick view of apps with unread notifications, including badge counts, so you can see what needs attention before you even open the Hub.<br><br>Disclaimer: Torchlight Launcher is an independent app by GhostPixel and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by BlackBerry nor is it meant to replicate Blackberry Launcher.
