Blauncher: Bitcoin Home Screen

₿launcher is a home screen for Bitcoiners. Unlock your phone and you see the time, the live Bitcoin price and a short list of your apps, written as words. Nothing on it is built to keep you scrolling. No ads, no account.

THE PRICE, UNDER THE CLOCK
• The live BTC price refreshes every minute, right on your home screen. No widget to add, no app to open
• Tap the price to open any app you choose, your wallet for example
• Tap the clock for your alarms, the date for your calendar
• Premium adds EUR, GBP and JPY, a refresh rate of your choice, and an arrow showing how far the price moved since the last refresh

ONLY BITCOIN. NOTHING ELSE.
With Premium, double-tap the price and your screen powers on like an old CRT monitor: your apps are gone, and the price stands alone in glowing amber dots. Choose how big it is. Double-tap again and your apps return.

EVERY DAY, REMEMBERED
From your first day, even on the free version, ₿launcher writes down one average price for each day your home screen showed it. The journal never leaves your phone. Premium opens it: the curve over 30 days, a year or all time, your highest and lowest day, and how far the price has moved since your first entry. Drag along the curve to read any date.

WARM LIGHT, TWO TIME ZONES
• A pitch-black dark theme that leaves OLED pixels off, or a soft cream light theme
• A second clock for the city your markets live in (Premium)
• Four text sizes, and left, center or right alignment for apps, clock, date and price

YOUR APPS, BY NAME
• All your apps are one swipe up, sorted A to Z. Start typing, and once only one app matches, it opens
• Swipe left or right to open two apps you pick
• Lock the phone with a double-tap on the background. It uses a one-time lock permission, not an accessibility service
• Groups turn several apps into one row, like Tools or AI. Tap to open, drag to reorder (Premium)
• Give any app the name you want (Premium)

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
With Premium, you choose what someone holding your phone can see:
• Hidden apps vanish from the app list. Pinned to home, they still open
• Stealth apps leave no trace in the list. Type the exact name and they open
• Locked apps ask for your fingerprint, face or PIN before opening

On every version, the price is fetched only while your home screen is showing, never in the background. ₿launcher goes online for two things only: the Bitcoin price and Google Play purchases. No analytics, no trackers.

WHAT'S FREE, WHAT'S PREMIUM
Free: pinned apps, the full app list with search, gestures, both themes, text and layout settings, and the live BTC/USD price every minute. The price journal records from day one.

Premium is paid once and yours to keep, with no subscription:
• Bitcoin-only screen, the price journal and the up/down arrow
• EUR, GBP and JPY prices, and your own refresh rate
• The second clock, groups and custom app names
• Hidden, stealth and locked apps

Digital minimalism. Bitcoin maximalism.
