Comments on Before Launcher | Go Minimal for Android

★★★★★ Carlos Guerra · Jul 28, 2026

Really nice and effective launcher. After some months using it, I tried going back to the stock Pixel one and I came back 5 mins later. The notification filter helps a lot reducing noise and the home screen approach helps a lot to make you unlock the phone because you are doing something concrete. My only issues are that, so far, 3 icon packs don't work, and that I would like the ability to change the color of the apps inside a folder in the home screen to improve clarity/legibility.

★★★★★ Shirokuma · Jun 28, 2026

Best home launcher I've ever used, and I've tried a lot! Free version is just fine but had to buy pro just to support the devs and get a few extras. Great work, definitely worth it 👍🏻

★★★★★ Tom Cavanagh · Aug 4, 2026

Before Launcher is a great minimalist launcher which allows you to set up only the apps you want to see as well as grouping apps you use a lot. Nice clean interface.

★★☆☆☆ Ashim Garain · Jul 24, 2026

Average minimal launcher app, you can easily find better FOSS apps for free which contains more features. Though I have brought premium membership, but It's not worth for me. Its lack a good digital detox system with SOT, delayed app opening etc., widget supports, fast and easy accessibility, theme system is just changing wallpaper! No design change at all. Though I like its app pin function, gesture functionality.

★★☆☆☆ Monika Wilczynska · Jul 7, 2026

The app is really great. It mostly does what it's supposed to do. Unfortunately, their customer service does not exist. You can write to them as long as you want, especially when there are no other solutions available. Take it as it is. Don't expect any help.

★★☆☆☆ Will Baker · May 6, 2026

Good concept, I liked it, and paid for the full version, but it kept locking and crashing my phone (Pixel 9a). With all the good reviews here and on Reddit, I'm sure it's a problem with my phone and not the app.
