Glaze: Frosted Glass Launcher

Glaze is a frosted glass launcher for Android: a calm, glass-style home screen for people who want a tidy phone that leaves their wallpaper alone. Frosted panes over your own wallpaper, a dock, folders, an app library and instant search, with none of the things people complain about in launchers.

NO AD ON EVERY TAP
Glaze is free and supported by ads, but they stay out of your way: one small banner on the Themes and Settings screens, never on the home screen, and no full-screen ads. A short video plays only when you choose to watch one for coins.

YOUR LAYOUT STAYS SAVED
Every move is saved the moment you make it and survives restarts, updates and grid changes. Drop an icon onto another to make a folder, or at its edge to reorder. Wiggle while editing is off unless you turn it on.

YOUR WALLPAPER STAYS YOURS
Glaze never changes your wallpaper. Labels switch between light and dark to stay readable on any photo, and themes only tint the glass.

ONLY THE HOME-SCREEN PERMISSION
No contacts, location, photos, call log or accessibility access. Search runs on the phone and sends nothing anywhere.

WHAT'S INSIDE
- Clock, date and battery in a frosted pane
- Dock for your four most-used apps
- Pages and folders, with a grid of 4 or 5 columns and 5 to 7 rows
- App library: every app grouped by category, one swipe up
- Instant search for apps and system settings, one swipe down
- Six glass themes: two free, the rest opened with coins
- Light and dark label modes, or automatic from the wallpaper

COINS AND CHECK-IN
Check in once a day for coins. Seven days in a row pays the most, and an optional evening reminder helps you keep the streak. Coins open themes. There is nothing to buy.

MADE TO FEEL GOOD
Soft taps and drops, a chime for coins, a gentle pop when a theme is yours. Every effect respects your phone's reduce-motion setting and can be switched off.

HOW TO SET IT UP
Set Glaze as your home screen in one tap from Settings, and switch back to your old launcher any time from Android's default-apps settings.

How do I get a frosted glass home screen on Android?

No. There is one small banner on the Themes and Settings screens, never on the home screen, and no full-screen ads. A short video plays only when you choose to watch one for coins.

Will my home screen layout be lost after a restart or update?
No. Every move is saved the moment you make it and survives restarts, updates and grid changes.

Only the home-screen permission. No contacts, location, photos, call log or accessibility access.
