PocketDesk Launcher

Your Android home screen, with a pocketful of apps of its own.

PocketDesk is a customisable launcher inspired by classic pocket organisers. Alongside your Android apps, it brings its own built-in apps for everyday tasks, creative moments and a little nostalgic fun. Take a note, read a book, make a tune or play a quick game, all with a familiar PDA feel.

LANGUAGES
Available in English, Traditional Chinese (Taiwan), Italian, German, Spanish and French. Interface translations are included in the app and work offline. If you spot a translation mistake, email info@pocketdesk.site with the language and affected text or screen so I can fix it.

RECENT UPDATES
New Match 3 and Sudoku games with Full Desk, enhanced LCD widget styling, and a skippable update tour. Choose 12/24-hour time and Celsius/Fahrenheit in Language & localization. Dock editing, Today tasks, Sudoku pencil notes and the status bar on older Android versions have been improved.

ANDROID PRIVATE SPACE
Access apps in an existing official Android Private Space on supported Android 15+ devices with PocketDesk set as the default Home. Android handles authentication; return to Normal or lock explicitly. Built-in tools keep using this installation’s storage; the toggle does not move or isolate existing data. OEM features such as Secure Folder and Second Space are separate systems.

USEFUL THROUGHOUT THE DAY
Write rich notes with text, handwriting, pictures and checklists. Keep dates in Calendar, work out a quick sum in Calculator, organise tables in Sheets and sketch an idea in Sketchbook. Add widgets for the things you want to see at a glance.

A LITTLE TIME TO CREATE
Play with Synth, build rhythms in Groovebox, or sample and sequence sounds in Sampler. Read your own EPUBs and PDFs in Books. The built-in music player plays your imported audio collection, with playlists, favourites and an equalizer.

FUN WITH A NOSTALGIC FEEL
Pocket LCD brings five original handheld-style games, including Fern Patrol and Copper Clash, with tactile controls and colourful LCD-inspired scenes. Play familiar favourites such as Solitaire, Minesweeper and Chess, or open Cartridges: a built-in PICO-8-compatible cartridge player. Browse included games or import your own compatible cartridges.

YOUR MUSIC AND IPTV
Keep your listening and viewing close by. Alongside the music player, Television is a built-in IPTV player for your own channel playlists. Add your playlist and save favourite channels. No IPTV channels or subscriptions are supplied.

A HOME THAT FEELS LIKE YOURS
Themes are fully customizable. Start with a built-in theme, make the colours your own, change icon styles and add a background image. Arrange and resize widgets, then slide the divider to give apps or widgets more room. Pick a dock style and colour, pin favourites and organise related apps in folder stacks. Your other Android apps stay within easy reach.

START FREE
The launcher, Notepad, Calendar and Calculator are free. An optional one-time Full Desk purchase unlocks the additional built-in apps and games. No subscription. No ads.

Books and music shown in examples are your own imported content, not a supplied media catalogue. Some optional features need permissions, an internet connection or separately installed apps. PocketDesk does not require a PocketDesk account.
