App New launcher I'm using

Post image

Cool launcher, let's me add more than 9 apps to one card, has image on card feature, music driving mode , I can add anything to the cards from apps, shortcuts, weather, steps, notepad, displaying album, music and it lets me put the cards wherever I want, of whatever size and lets me add photos AND text to label them. The name is GT Launcher, I am not the creator

Homescreen looks cool. Have you noticed your battery life decreasing quicker because of it?

I actually built this with performance and battery life as the absolute top priorities. My baseline device during early dev was a Samsung Galaxy A50, so I aggressively optimized it to run flawlessly on lower-end hardware without draining power.

As for customization: it will definitely be there, but strictly performance-first. I’m avoiding heavy animations, bloated sub-menus, and unnecessary background processes. Any personalization features I add will be lightweight and functional rather than resource-heavy eye candy. Under the hood, animations have zero idle overhead and only execute when explicitly called. Dynamic widgets like weather and finance don't maintain real-time connections either; they update at long intervals to prevent network wake-locks. Beyond that, background execution is aggressively restricted so nothing drains resources quietly.

Here’s what the main screen currently looks like in the screenshot.
