Description
uLauncher replaces the home screen. Unlike classical home screens, there is no grid of app icons, but apps can be launched by certain swipe gestures or by pressing buttons. Pressing opens a searchable list of apps.
The source code is available at https://github.com/jrpie/Launcher . uLauncher is a fork of finnmglas's app Launcher (https://github.com/finnmglas/launcher ).
There are currently issues getting the latest update approved by Google. Publishing on Google Play is a miserable experience. Note that I am developing this app in my free time for no profit. I'd rather spent that time developing features than with Google's bureaucracy.
Consider downloading uLauncher from the free and open source repository F-Droid to get the latest version: https://s.jrpie.de/launcher-fdroid
In order to lock the screen, an accessibility service can be activated. This is entirely optional. uLauncher will only use the accessibility service to lock the screen. uLauncher will never share any data.

Great Launcher fork / rewrite!... These minimal launchers actually make the phone MORE functional... I didn't think I'd be able to remember 30 gestures, but given that they kind of "self-organize", it's not that hard!.... P.S., an option to back up / restore settings would be cool :)

Great launcher. The minimalist looking app list with text only looks like my phone is running Windows 98, but then gestures make it feel like it's from the future. Every gesture makes the phone usage feel more purposeful and intentional. I hope the developers of this project stays healthy and motivated enough to keep this alive and never start collecting any data. I installed this via Accrescent, just using Google Play to drop this review. Thanks a ton.

A great launcher However, I request one feature. App drawer must ask a password optionally to allow user to use apps. This will be a great security feature. One more request is as the app tends to be minimalistic, it can also display screen time and weather optionally.
