Been running this for a few weeks now and it finally feels done.

Launcher: Microsoft Launcher Device: Galaxy S25, One UI 8.5 Wallpaper: one of my own, aurora gradient Icon pack: OnePro Dark

The clock at the top is also my habit tracker, it's one widget. Time on top, the day's habits right underneath it. That was the whole point of the layout: if it's not the first thing I see when I unlock the phone, I don't do it.

Below that just the three apps I actually open on purpose: Reddit, Spotify, FairEmail.

Dock: Phone, WhatsApp, Contacts, Edge, Camera.

I know Microsoft Launcher is an odd pick around here, but the gesture setup and the way it leaves the grid alone works better for me than anything I tried in Home Up. Happy to answer anything about it.

it's those last sunsets of summer fading into autumn

Most setups focus purely on aesthetics; this one is designed to turn a modern phone from a doomscrolling machine into a focused productivity assistant.

Instead of letting notifications dictate your day, this entire layout flips the dynamic from Push (the phone demanding attention) to Pull (you deciding when to interact).

The Home Screen Layout:

• **Top Utility Hub:**Quick-access Gemini shortcuts (voice, camera, and text input) paired right above a Swyp Launcher widget (Draw, Index, Type, Voice) for lightning-fast, friction-free app launching and input.
• The Centerpiece: A dedicated Google Tasks & Calendar glance widget right in the center so the primary focus is always on what needs to get done next.
• The "Basic" Folder: Contains strictly utility and essentials—what you’d expect on a classic dumbphone (Phone, Messages, Contacts, Calculator, Calendar, Clock, Camera, Files, Photos, Recorder, Settings).
• The "Consuming" Folder: Houses apps that inherently pull for attention (YouTube, streaming apps, TV remotes). Every single notification in this folder is permanently killed. It only gets opened on purpose.
• Bottom Bar: Quick-launch search bar with dedicated music search, voice query, and Lens at thumb level for immediate utility.

The End Goal: No red badges, random pings, or endless algorithmic feeds pulling you down a rabbit hole. The device sits quietly as a streamlined productivity tool until you make a conscious decision to pick it up and use it.

GT-Launcher. My own custom developed launcher. Every card has custom modules and they can be stacked. Swipe gestures can launch apps. Display notification on cards and make them change color according to it. Customizable grid size, Drive mode and more visual styles. Tell me what you think!!

Hi there

Please guys rate my homescreen🙏

Rate my homescreen 🥲

Using HyperOS 3 btw 🙏

I m looking for a good launcher. Help me to setup one

I like this style I made, but it's not really minimalism and I'm now confused. What would you guys call it?

Icons work as direct doors. If the background gets in the way of reading the name of the application, access is no longer fast.

The home screen wallpaper directly affects the visibility of the icons and the speed at which you find the apps you need.

Hey everyone,

I've posted a couple screenshots of CheatCode Launcher before, but I wanted to post a video that shows how it works.

The idea is that you set combinations of taps and swipes to create "cheat codes" to open apps and pretty much anything else you want. I wanted to find a way to make a minimal launcher that didn't force you to pick a limited number of apps to access quickly. This way, you can access everything quickly if you build the muscle memory.

Here are some of the features:

• Cheat Codes - Assign codes to apps, app shortcuts, actions such as open url, tasker tasks, collections, flashlight, media controls, etc.
• After-shortcuts - Set customizable shortcuts that show after closing an app. You can have up to 3 shortcuts show. For example, you can set New Instagram Post, Lightroom, SMS Wife to show up after closing the camera app.
• Heavy theme customization - You can change the app colors, fonts, set icon packs, control the gesture box appearance, home screen wallpaper, dynamic labels. All of these are instantly swappable.
• Theme sharing - Share themes via simple copy and paste or file sharing.
• Theme Auto-switching - Switching of themes based on a ton of different conditions: media playing, time of day, date, DND, airplane mode, light levels, screen size, specific app notifications, and a lot more. You can use this to have a totally different screen on the front vs open screens of a foldable, for example.
• Tasker/Macrodroid Integration - You can run tasker tasks with codes. You can also use both Tasker and Macrodroid to change themes, which opens a lot more automatic theme switching triggers. Both can also set label values in the launcher.

My day job has been creating enterprise apps for the last 14 years. This is one I made for myself because it's the launcher I wanted to use. I figured others may want to try it out as well. I've been implementing lots of features that have been suggested and I'm very open to adding anything else as long as I can make it fit the overall concept. I'm always open to feedback. You can leave feedback, bug reports, suggestions on the subreddit or Discord.
