Luncher

An offline, lightweight, customizable Android TV launcher that starts instantly.
New in version 0.4.0
- A new look for the menus and settings
- New accent color options and dark or light mode
- Show the app names below the tiles (customizable)
- Background pictures listed by name and damaged pictures are detected before importing
Luncher is made with performance in mind, to run smoothly even on old and weak Android TV devices, and still gives you plenty of customization options to shape it to your taste.

Features:

- Reorder your apps
- Hide the apps you don't use
- Customize the tile shape, from square to pill-shaped
- Change the apps' alignment (top / bottom / left / right / center)
- Show the app names
- Set your own pictures as wallpaper, with dim and blur options
- Pick an accent color, and dark or light theme for menus and settings

On the way:

- Your own custom banners for app tiles
- More appearance settings: tile size, spacing and much more
- Wi-Fi, VPN and notifications in the status bar
- Folders to group your apps
- Screensaver options

Application goals:

- Instant startup and minimal memory usage, with no background services
- Offline by design: no internet, no ads, no tracking, no accounts
- No frameworks or dependencies, just plain Kotlin

Once installed, Luncher shows up in your TV's list of apps. You can open it from there to try it out, but the Home button on the remote still takes you back to the TV's own launcher. Detailed instructions to make it your default home screen depend on the device model.
