SwipeRail gives you instant, one-handed access to every app on your phone — without replacing your home screen.<br>Tap a letter, tap an app. That&#39;s it.<br>If you use a large-screen phone, you know the problem: your favourite launcher has great widgets, but its app drawer is slow and awkward to use one-handed. SwipeRail solves this by giving you a fast alphabetical app list with an A–Z scrubber rail, designed entirely for thumb reach.<br>How it works:<br>Open SwipeRail from your dock or home screen. Slide your thumb along the letter rail to jump to any letter instantly, or tap a letter to filter. Pin your most-used apps to the favourites row for even faster access. Launch any app in two taps.<br>Key features:<br>— A–Z letter scrubber with drag and tap filtering<br>— Pin up to 6 favourite apps for instant access<br>— Works alongside any launcher — not a replacement<br>— Material You theming that matches your wallpaper<br>— Left or right-handed mode for comfortable one-handed use<br>— Hide apps you never want to see<br>— No internet permission, no background services, no ads<br>— Lightweight and private by design<br>SwipeRail is built for speed and simplicity. There are no login screens, no tutorials, no setup wizards. Install it, open it, and start launching apps faster.
