What Simple App Launcher is for

Simple App Launcher is a launcher that holds shortcuts to the apps you open most. Each one is an icon you can add, reorder and rename, so the apps you need sit together rather than spread across several home screen pages.

It suits people who want a short, fixed set of app icons and would rather not scroll through the full app drawer to find them. The listing describes it as a small wrapper around your favorite icons, not a full replacement home screen.

Building a short list of favorite apps

You can add a launcher for any app on the device, then move the icons into whatever order you want. The listing says this is the main point of the app: you stop swiping past apps you never use.

Each launcher can be renamed, so an icon can show a label that makes sense to you rather than the app's default name.

Colors, styles and the dark theme

The colors of the launcher can be changed across several styles. A dark theme is included, and the listing presents it as on by default alongside its material design look.

These settings only change how the launcher looks. The listing does not describe any other appearance options.

Switching apps and hiding system icons

The launcher can close itself and open a different app, which the listing presents as a way to move between apps without going back to the home screen.

Built-in system apps cannot be uninstalled from here. You can remove their icons from the launcher and ignore them, so they stop taking up space on the screen.

Running with no internet access

The app has no internet access and does not need a network connection to work. The listing says this gives it more privacy, security and stability than apps that connect to the internet.

Install it and use it; nothing in the listing requires an account or a connection to set up.
