MinLauncher

A minimal, ad-free Android launcher with no internet access and no tracking.
New in version 0.0.4
Removed the dependency metadata block from the APK signing block so the binary passes F-Droid's scanner. No user-visible behavior changes.
MinLauncher is a minimal, ad-free Android home screen launcher, with all promotional content and network access removed.

MinLauncher collects no analytics or telemetry and cannot access the network: it does not declare the INTERNET permission. Its optional screen-time and double-tap-to-lock features are processed entirely on the device.

It requires Android 11 or later and removes upstream promotional, remote-wallpaper, and legacy compatibility code found in the original project.

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.
