About this app

The traditional home screen we know was made more than a decade ago when phone
screens were smaller than your credit card. Smartphones keep growing, but not your fingers. The minimalist
Niagara Launcher makes everything accessible with one hand and lets you focus on what matters.


🏆 "The best Android app I've used in years" · Joe Maring, Screen Rant

🏆 "It changed the way I look at the full device—big time" · Lewis Hilsenteger, Unbox Therapy

🏆 Among the best launchers of 2022, according to Android Police, Tom's Guide,
9to5Google, Android Central, Android Authority, and Lifewire


▌ Top reasons to use Niagara Launcher:

✋ Ergonomic efficiency · Access everything with one hand - no matter how big your phone
is.


🌊 Adaptive list · In contrast to a rigid grid layout used by other Android
launchers, Niagara Launcher's list can adapt to your needs. The media player, incoming messages, or calendar
events: everything pops in when it needs to.


🏄‍♀ Wave alphabet · Efficiently reach every app without even having to open an app
drawer. The launcher's wave animation does not only feel satisfying but also helps you navigate your phone with
just one hand.


💬 Embedded notifications · Not just notification dots: Read and respond to
notifications right from your home screen.


🎯 Stay focused · The streamlined and minimalist design declutters your home screen,
reduces distractions, and is super easy to use.


⛔ Ad-free · Having to endure advertisements on a minimalist launcher designed
to keep you focused does not make sense. Even the free version is also completely ad-free.


⚡ Lightweight & lightning fast · Being minimalist and fluid are two of the most important
aspects of Niagara Launcher. The home screen app runs smoothly on all phones. With just a few megabytes in size,
no space is wasted.


✨ Material You Theming · Niagara Launcher adopted Material You, Android's new expressive
design system, to make your home screen truly yours. Set an awesome wallpaper, and Niagara Launcher instantly
themes around it. We went one step further by bringing Material You to everyone by backporting it to all Android
versions.


🦄 Personalize your home screen · Impress your friends with Niagara Launcher's clean look and
customize it to your needs. Personalize it with our integrated icon pack, fonts, and wallpapers, or use your
own.


🏃 Active development & great community · Niagara Launcher is in active development and has a
very supportive community. If you ever have a problem or want to voice your opinions about the launcher, please

The best launcher I tried. Got fed up of the cluttered android look. I also wanted to limit my use of social media. With the launcher you have your necessaries at hand. The list view works really good. Used for about 2 weeks, then bought the pro version without a thought. Expensive? No. Buying a phone of 500,- is something you do with a second thought. Why not invest in the way you operate with it?

This is by far the best launcher I have ever seen. I appreciate its minimalism and the customization options it offers. I happily paid for the lifetime pro license. Being a developer myself, I understand how much hard work has gone into it. However, there's one feature I'm missing. I have both a private and a work profile, and I'd like to see calendars from both profiles in the agenda widget. Keep on developing it further!

edit: Thank you for your reply, I have a diff phone now with an amazing stock launcher. I use TimeTune as a calander and that app is my most important app, but not compatible with this one. [It probably works fine for many, but the option of one widget as a limit is very limited for me. Especially sinc the app only syncs with the standard calander, which I don't use. Also I don't like the layout where everything is in one long line If your phone is slow, though. This one will speed it up.]

Thanks for the update. If it uses Android's calendar API it should be listed if you long-press Niagara widget > Calendar > Filter events, otherwise it's not sharing data with the launcher. A list is normally faster to scan. Niagara Pro supports pop-up widgets. More here: https://help.niagaralauncher.app/article/41-adding-multiple-widgets —Mug
