Start your apps or call your best friends - but with style!

Features & Capabilities

CircleLauncher is back! After a long pause, this launcher lets you start your favorite apps or call your best friends from a stylish circular launcher. You can place apps or contacts on a circle, line, or vertical layout, choose built‑in icons or your own images, and enjoy subtle animations as you swipe.

NEW! The swipe functionality is now in a free companion app, CircleLauncher Swipe. The full version adds custom icons, ADW icon pack support, and vertical/horizontal launcher variants. Please do not move the app to the SD card, and note required permissions: direct calls, read contacts, and storage access. If you encounter bugs or have questions, please email the developer.
