## Description

**Wave Launcher** is a modern Android home screen replacement designed for deep personalization. Its signature liquid glass interface adds transparency, depth, blur, and shader-powered visual effects across icons, docks, and other UI elements.

Browse and apply curated wallpapers, import and crop personal photos, explore animated and 3D live wallpapers, and use third-party icon packs with customizable shapes, labels, sizes, and styles. Configure flexible 3–6 column grids, resize widgets, create folders, and organize apps into custom stacks with names, colors, icons, and optional biometric or PIN protection. Wave Launcher also includes a smart app drawer, built-in search for apps, contacts, files, and web results, a customizable dock, themes, app suggestions, and a personalized news feed.
