Using a classic 3x4 T9 keypad, you can find and launch any app with just a few taps—or even zero taps.

⚡ Key Features

* T9 Incremental Search: Quickly filter through your apps using a standard 3x4 T9 keypad. Supports English and normalized characters (strips accents like "á" to "a").
* Zero-Tap Auto-Launch: If your search query is at least 2 digits long and results in exactly one match, the app launches automatically.
* Usage-Based Sorting: Your most-used apps stay at the top. The list is sorted by launch frequency, then alphabetically.
* Biometric App Lock: Protect sensitive apps using Android’s native biometric authentication (Fingerprint, Face, or PIN). Pro upgrade required.
* App Hiding: Hide rarely used apps from the list to keep your drawer clean and organized.
* Handedness Mode: Optimized for one-handed use with toggleable left-handed and right-handed layouts.
* Smart Cache Management: Persistent JSON caching for instant startup, with automatic updates when apps are installed or uninstalled.
* Modern Transparent UI: A sleek, dialog-style interface that overlays your wallpaper for a seamless look.

Advanced Filtering
