⚠️ Alpha StageExpect bugs, instability, and incomplete features.
Closed-source launchers are locking features behind paywalls and adding trackers. My goal is to offer powerful features with no compromises on privacy.
YAGNI ("You Aren't Gonna Need It") is a principle which arose from extreme programming (XP) that states a programmer should not add functionality until deemed necessary.
Why Choose Yagni Launcher?Yagni matches and extends stock functionality without the bloat, built from scratch to stay fast, lightweight, and battery-efficient.
- ⚡ Modern — Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, with no legacy overhead
- 🪶 Small — ~2 MB, 80–90% smaller than typical stock launchers
- 🔋 Efficient — Minimal resource and battery use
Versions
