App Search: Quick App Finder

App Search finds and opens any app on your phone in a keystroke. Type a few letters and press Enter: the top result opens straight away. The same search box also does quick sums, finds your contacts, jumps to system settings and searches the web.

Open any app in a keystroke
• Results appear as you type, with the best match first
• Press Enter or the search key on your keyboard to open the first result
• Recent apps are waiting for you before you type anything
• Finds work-profile apps too, marked "(work)"
• Grid or list view, three icon sizes, and the panel at the centre or top of the screen

More than apps
• Calculator: type a sum like 128*4+16 and see the answer instantly, then copy it with one tap
• Contacts (optional): find a person and call, message or WhatsApp them right from search
• Settings shortcuts: type "wifi", "battery" or "bluetooth" to jump to the right settings page
• Web search: search Google, DuckDuckGo, Bing, the Play Store, YouTube or your own custom address, or open a typed web address directly

Make search yours
• Keywords: give any app your own nickname, like "bank" or "chat", so it always comes first
• Favourites: keep the apps you use most at the top
• Hide apps you never want to see in results
• Add any app to your home screen, or uninstall it, from a long press
• Back up your settings, favourites, hidden apps and keywords to a file, and restore them on a new phone

Open it from anywhere
