CClauncher

Minimal home launcher that hides apps by default to reduce distractions
New in version v10.6.3
- Use the older widget intent handling (fix #200)
- Bump com.google.devtools.ksp from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6
CCLauncher is a minimalist Android launcher designed to help reduce screen time and distractions due to all the apps present (like social media apps for example). Unlike traditional launchers, apps are hidden by default.

Key Features:

- Apps invisible by default (type to search)
- Digital wellbeing tools (screen time tracking)
- Double-tap to lock screen
- Customizable gestures (swipe left/right/up/down shortcuts)
- App renaming/hiding capabilities
- Plain black/white wallpapers for focus
- No ads, no tracking, no internet permission - 100% private

Usage Tips:

1. Swipe up to search apps
2. Long press empty space for settings
3. Enable double-tap lock in Accessibility settings
4. Rename duplicate-named apps for easier launching

This is a modern rewrite of Clauncher using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, maintaining most of the minimalism while improving functionality (and maybe performance...)

Versions

Although APK downloads are available below to give you the choice, you should be aware that by installing that way you will not receive update notifications and it's a less secure way to download. We recommend that you install the F-Droid client and use that.
