Non-intrusive, simple and functional. Could use icon size adjustment to make it behave nicer on tablets. In my opinion definitely does not need widget support, I hate the whole concept of widgets.

I like this, but it needs to add more home page for add any widget or something we need.
★★★★★Shannon Thurman· Mar 29, 2025
I really like this launcher. It's easy on my ram and battery. Best launcher I ever did try. Fantastic Job and well done😍😁
★★★★★Alps· Feb 15, 2026
Amazing! An app without any unnecessary permission (including the Internet permission), and is very lightweight. The launcher also supports custom icon packs such as Arcticons. It would even be better if this app was open-source. Nice app by the way.
★★★★★NITESH KUMAR· Oct 12, 2025
Great app but not useful. Cons: 1. Row and columns adjustment is needed. 2. Movement of app location on desktop and lock app movement is needed. 3. dock apps appear too small. Despite these issue I like the developer.

So uh this isn't a mini desktop of anything. Literally not a single unique thing about this app. Not to mention its horrendous UI. Looks cheaper than a trick from a downtown Detroit motel
★★☆☆☆Gabe M· Feb 3, 2026
I like how smooth and quick it is but this launcher makes the app drawer your home screen. Not quite for me.
App size is actually 1.52mb, so it is bigger than the app Zeam Launcher. Wanted to give this a shot, only good thing is no permissions.
