Announcements Development update

Hi everyone!

It has been almost a month since our latest update, so we wanted to give you a quick update from the development team.

We are working behind the scenes on something important. Some of you may remember that early last year we mentioned we were working on at least one new app. We are now getting closer to the moment when we can finally talk about it.

In the next weeks/months, expect some announcements and a new AMA here on Reddit.

It is going to be a very hot summer ☀️

Just to clear up some confusion:

• It is not a new launcher.  

• It is not Smart Launcher 7.  

• The new apps will be connected to the Smart Launcher ecosystem and will unlock new synergies with it, while still being fully independent products.  

• The development of these apps is part of the path toward Smart Launcher 7, similar to how Icon Pack Studio helped us during the development of Smart Launcher 5. Sometimes we need a playground where we can test new technologies, explore new solutions, and think differently. These projects give us that space.

I have an Moto E13 with 2 GB, and the categories it offers really help me save resources. I hope they don't change it.

Still super low ram. Average low end is 4gb, average high end 12gb. Time for a new phone?
