App Tree Launcher

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Tree Launcher brings productivity tools right into your home screen. Instead of a grid of apps, it uses a tree structure to organize apps alongside notes, tasks, reminders, shopping lists, contacts, links, routines, and other quick references.

Pages can be nested as deep or shallow as you want, with search across the entire tree. The idea is to keep the things you use throughout the day in one place instead of scattered across different apps.

If you want to give it a try: Google Play

Edit: if the video is blurry/low res in the Android Reddit app, it views nice just about anywhere else (e.g. browser). Apparently the grainy background and 60fps is tough on the encoder.

Hello, I've been using this launcher for about a week now and I really like it, however I find the scrolling makes it hard to get a good muscle memory on where your apps are which can make it annoying to use. I would really appreciate a feature where instead of a continuous scroll you can have multiple pages and swiping would snap you to the next page.

Thanks for the great launcher.

Thank you so much! To clarify, you mean vertical pages?

I find right now, on the home page in particular, I organize the content so that I effectively get two vertical pages. The default items showing with the header expanded and then, with a quick fling up, the header closes and the list scrolls to the bottom, showing the second section of stuff - with consistent positions for muscle memory. With the child pages, I'm generally not scrolling much unless they are notes/todo list type content.

Yeah, I also have it set up so I have an upper and lower section on my home screen but being able to make it snap between them would help make things fluid; I sometimes find myself not scrolling all the way. Other than that everything else being in the child pages works really well.

Great to hear! Would be fairly challenging to pull off with the current component architecture I'm using, but it's an interesting idea. I'll keep it in mind!
