A different home screen
Lynx Launcher takes the place of the home screen and app navigation that come with the phone. It is for people who want to change how apps and shortcuts are arranged and reached, rather than add a separate service or content library.
You can remove apps from its visible list even if they cannot be uninstalled. That can make the list less crowded without removing those apps from the phone.
Get to apps and information
Swipes provide routes to the desktop, app list, favorites and search. The launcher also lets you assign gestures to open an app, shortcut or setting, or bring up a contact, so commonly used destinations can be reached directly.
The favorites screen groups chosen apps and contacts in one place. Search can find apps, contacts, shortcuts and settings; it can also calculate expressions or pass a query to a search engine you choose.
Arrange the screen and its look
The launcher lets you change the dock's position, desktop grid, text size and whether the search bar appears. Notification dots can also be enabled or adjusted, according to the listing.
For appearance, you can apply an icon theme from Google Play, alter the shape of adaptive icons, and change the launcher's theme. Dark and light appearance can be chosen, scheduled according to the phone's dark theme, or set separately for parts of the launcher.
What to know before installing
The listing says some features are limited to the Pro version, but does not identify which options are paid or give a price. It does not spell out an account requirement or provide details about ads.
The app is a home-screen replacement with app, contact and settings navigation. The listing does not describe it as a tool for changing the phone's underlying operating system or managing apps beyond hiding them from the launcher's view.
