Milki Launcher

Android launcher with multi-source search
Milki Launcher is a custom Android home screen replacement built from scratch with Kotlin and Jetpack Compose. It focuses on speed, a clean interface, and powerful search capabilities.

Features:

Multi-Mode Search: Search apps, contacts, files, the web, and YouTube from a single search bar. Use prefixes to filter results: no prefix for apps, "s " for web search, "c " for contacts.

Smart Home Screen: Place apps, shortcuts, folders, and widgets anywhere on a customizable grid. Drag and drop to rearrange items. Pin your most-used apps for instant access.

App Drawer: Scroll through all installed apps in an organized grid.

File Search: Find documents on your device directly from the launcher.

Widget Support: Add and manage home screen widgets with a built-in widget picker.

Folder Support: Group apps into folders on your home screen for better organization.

Backup and Restore: Export your home screen layout and settings for safekeeping.

Permissions:

- Read Contacts: Used for contact search (optional)
- Manage External Storage: Used for file search features
- Device Admin: Used only for the screen lock feature
