About this app

The traditional home screen we know was made more than a decade ago when phone
screens were smaller than your credit card. Smartphones keep growing, but not your fingers. The minimalist
Niagara Launcher makes everything accessible with one hand and lets you focus on what matters.


🏆 "The best Android app I've used in years" · Joe Maring, Screen Rant

🏆 "It changed the way I look at the full device—big time" · Lewis Hilsenteger, Unbox Therapy

🏆 Among the best launchers of 2022, according to Android Police, Tom's Guide,
9to5Google, Android Central, Android Authority, and Lifewire


▌ Top reasons to use Niagara Launcher:

✋ Ergonomic efficiency · Access everything with one hand - no matter how big your phone
is.


🌊 Adaptive list · In contrast to a rigid grid layout used by other Android
launchers, Niagara Launcher's list can adapt to your needs. The media player, incoming messages, or calendar
events: everything pops in when it needs to.


🏄‍♀ Wave alphabet · Efficiently reach every app without even having to open an app
drawer. The launcher's wave animation does not only feel satisfying but also helps you navigate your phone with
just one hand.


💬 Embedded notifications · Not just notification dots: Read and respond to
notifications right from your home screen.


🎯 Stay focused · The streamlined and minimalist design declutters your home screen,
reduces distractions, and is super easy to use.


⛔ Ad-free · Having to endure advertisements on a minimalist launcher designed
to keep you focused does not make sense. Even the free version is also completely ad-free.


⚡ Lightweight & lightning fast · Being minimalist and fluid are two of the most important
aspects of Niagara Launcher. The home screen app runs smoothly on all phones. With just a few megabytes in size,
no space is wasted.


✨ Material You Theming · Niagara Launcher adopted Material You, Android's new expressive
design system, to make your home screen truly yours. Set an awesome wallpaper, and Niagara Launcher instantly
themes around it. We went one step further by bringing Material You to everyone by backporting it to all Android
versions.


🦄 Personalize your home screen · Impress your friends with Niagara Launcher's clean look and
customize it to your needs. Personalize it with our integrated icon pack, fonts, and wallpapers, or use your
own.

very supportive community. If you ever have a problem or want to voice your opinions about the launcher, please

Good simplified approach but with bugs and lacks customization. Launcher consistently crashes in the form of freezing & unresponsive. It does recover, but annoying to see multiple times/day. Also, app drawer is finicky and swapping open apps creates visual bugs. I purchased pro since customization is behind paywall, but sadly a lot is still lacking. Would like to set weather and calendar app from tap instead of using Niagara defaults. Also swipe to page left/right would be useful shortcuts.

Thank you for your review, Jon. The recent apps screen & system navigation issues are system bugs that affect 3rd party launchers, we're tracking the issues, please check community posts for more info & updates. The agenda opens your set default calendar. We suggest using a custom widget for other weather sources for consistent data. —Mug

Switched to this from Action Launcher and I got to say it's really impressive. The simple layout is awesome and the icons will theme based upon your wallpaper is great. I do miss the Discover Feed and wish I could stack apps on the same line as a folder for a few apps that I switch between depending on the situation. Other than that, I've been recommending it.

This is a staight-forward launcher. Simpler, and once you acclimate, it's a breeze. In particular the ability to nest apps in a named pop-up saves all kinds of room on the home page. Also, I don't accidentally launch apps from a touch icon. You can also reposition the order. The whole app is slick. Get the pro version. Worth it.
