AuraOrbit
3D Sphere:
- Rotate apps with natural quaternion-based momentum at up to 120 FPS.
- Drag-and-drop sphere positioning — center, top, bottom, or anywhere via a custom editor (which also scales the sphere radius!)
- Adjustable icon size and rotation speed (sphere maintains full radius regardless of icon size).
Background & Blur:
- Upload a custom background image or use the default gradient.
- Dual blur controls: independent Blur Radius (area) and Blur Strength (intensity) with real-time preview.
- Five blur levels from no blur to full-screen blur.
Icon Pack Support:
- Apply third-party icon packs (Nova, Apex, etc.) seamlessly to all your 3D sphere apps.
- Automatically applies to group widgets, the app picker, and fallback elements.
App Groups & Widgets:
- Create color-coded app groups with 8 presets plus a custom RGB color picker.
- Individual Group Overrides: Configure unique Sphere Position, Background Image, and Blur settings exclusively for each group.
- Intuitive Edit Apps popup dialog for seamless bulk-selection.
- Per-group home screen widgets with live previews and custom logo upload.
- Toggle transparent background, hide logo, hide text, or use Material You system colors per widget.
- Pin multiple widgets for different groups simultaneously.
Standalone Sphere Mode:
- Launch AuraOrbit as a fullscreen immersive app from any group widget.
- Floats seamlessly over your home screen with zero black dimming!
- Tap apps to launch them; tap outside to return home.
FOSS & Privacy First:
- Entirely open source under GPLv3.
- Zero unnecessary permissions and no tracking whatsoever.
