## Description

Typeahead is a search-only launcher for Android. No home-screen grid, no icons, no folders — just a black screen and a search box. Open your phone, start typing, and the app you want is one tap away.<br><br>Most launchers fill your screen with icons that pull you into apps you never meant to open. Typeahead does the opposite: it gets out of the way so you use your phone less.<br><br>WHY TYPEAHEAD<br><br>• Type to launch — the keyboard is already up. Type a few letters, hit go, and the top match opens.<br>• Pin favourites — long-press to pin the apps you use most; they sit on the home screen, ready.<br>• Hide the noise — hide apps you never want to see in search.<br>• Custom aliases — give any app your own search keyword (type &quot;bird&quot; to open your social app).<br>• Smart ranking — your most-used apps rise to the top automatically.<br>• Gestures — swipe down for notifications, up for settings, left or right for the full app list.<br>• Quick actions — long-press any result for app info or to uninstall.<br><br>CALM BY DESIGN<br><br>A pure black, distraction-free interface that fades into the background. No widgets begging for attention, no badges, no infinite grid. Just the app you came for.<br><br>PRIVATE BY DEFAULT<br><br>No accounts. No analytics. No ads. No tracking. Typeahead collects nothing and sends nothing off your device — your app list and preferences never leave your phone.<br><br>Light on resources, fast to open, and built to stay out of your way.<br><br>Make your phone boring again. Install Typeahead.
