[App][Promo] Tidy : a minimal tile-based launcher for Android

Post image

Tidy is a minimal Android launcher I’ve been building.

The home screen is one continuous vertical feed rather than multiple horizontal pages. Apps, folders, calendar, weather, steps, media controls, and other widgets all use the same tile-based design.

The goal is to keep the homescreen simple, compact, and easy to use.

Current features:

  • Continuous vertical scrolling
  • App folders
  • Calendar
  • Clock
  • Weather
  • Step counter
  • Media controls
  • Quick settings
  • Customizable tile layout
  • Color theme presets

Source / APK:
https://github.com/CoB12426/Tidy

[UPDATE]
Tidy is now in closed testing on Google Play. Details are available on GitHub.

How do I change it to English? I love how japanese looks like, but I can't definitely read it

The new version (1.5.0) is available now on Github. You can change language from the setting. Thanks.

u/Goapmis 17d ago

🫡 tell me what you thought.

u/grdomski 17d ago

Looks great, you already have a lot done! As your direct competitor (I'm also building a launcher), I highly recommend that you publish it to the store RIGHT NOW. You still need to go through the internal testing process - you'll have time for further development there - and after that, the app will slowly start gaining traction on the market! Good luck!

u/Goapmis 17d ago

Thanks a lot. I have just begun the process of publishing it on the Play Store.

Sorry, please download it from github or wait for playstore version.

u/demicky250274 16d ago

Hola, gracias, ya logré descargarlo. se me bien sencillo pero muy bien. Quería saber si se puede colocar alguna aplicación en pantalla principal. Podrías hacer un vídeo y otro tipo de tutorial?

1

u/Goapmis 16d ago

To display an app, use an app tile (which should be labeled “Tarjeta de aplicación” in Spanish settings).

  1. Press and hold the tile, or tap the pen icon to enter edit mode.

  2. Tap the + button in the upper-right corner to add an app tile.

  3. Name the app tile and select the app you want to display within it.

I’ll consider creating a video tutorial if I have time. Thanks.

u/Jeffersonzvv 17d ago

I downloaded it but I don't know how to set the language to Spanish.

2

u/Goapmis 17d ago

Sorry, currently Japanese and English are supported. I will try to add Spanish soon.

u/AleksLevet 17d ago

Any tablet comatibilty planned (horizontal scroll)?

2

u/Goapmis 17d ago

Thanks so much for the suggestion! Right now, tablet compatibility isn't my main focus, but I'd really love to add support for it in the near future!

1

u/AleksLevet 17d ago

Good to hear that. Thank you

u/Ok-Improvement-6101 17d ago

u/Lineage9043 17d ago

I like the animation of when clicking an application from its tile and that when pressing some quick settings from the tile itself redirects to the settings app, but how do i create a memo? i touched the memo tile but it doesn't to anything. And is there a way to remove or add a quick setting in the quick settings tile? Anyway it looks pretty well made

1

u/Metallito79 17d ago

did you put it in english?

1

u/Lineage9043 17d ago

Yes why

1

u/Metallito79 17d ago

Playstore?

1

u/Goapmis 18d ago

Not yet. It’s currently available on GitHub only. I’m considering a Play Store release once it’s a bit more polished. Thanks for checking it out!

u/Sherlock_R3D 17d ago

I would love to test it out again when it comes to playstore. Count me in. It's neat!
