What this home screen replacement does
This is a launcher, so it takes over the home screen and app drawer on an Android phone. The developer describes the aim as making the phone feel like a personal computer desktop, with the usual computer-style tools placed on that screen.
Its main parts are a file manager, a photo viewer, desktop folders, widgets, app locking and themes. Each one is covered below.
Browsing files on internal storage, SD cards and USB
The built-in file manager covers the phone's internal storage as well as external SD cards and USB drives. The developer lists USB support explicitly, so a drive plugged into the phone can be opened from the same place as the rest of the files.
A photo viewer is included, so pictures stored on the phone or on an attached card can be opened without leaving the launcher.
Organizing the desktop with folders and widgets
Desktop folders can hold app shortcuts and contacts, which keeps the home screen tidy without a separate app drawer for every item. Widgets can be placed on the desktop alongside them.
Together these give the home screen a layout closer to a computer desktop, where folders and small live panels sit next to files and programs.
Locking apps and the home screen
App lock lets you restrict chosen apps. A separate launcher lock screen is also listed, so the home screen itself can be locked as well.
The developer does not give more detail in the listing on how the lock is set up or what it asks for, so that is not described here.
Changing the look with themes and wallpapers
The launcher includes more than 100 themes, which change how the home screen looks. Built-in wallpapers are included as well, so a new look does not require finding images elsewhere first.
The listing presents the app as free to install on Google Play and gives 1,000,000+ installs and a 4.52 average rating from 29,681 ratings.
