Description
Remember when a home screen felt alive? Square tiles that flipped, glowed, and showed you what mattered before you even tapped. sqTile brings that feeling back: a clean, square-tile launcher in the spirit of Windows Phone (Metro), rebuilt from scratch for modern Android.
No skeuomorphic clutter. No sea of round icons. Just a bold grid of tiles you arrange exactly how you think.
▍ MADE TO FEEL ALIVE • Live tiles that show real info at a glance: the next event, today's weather, your tasks, your habit streak • Signature "turnstile" launch: tap a tile and the ones around it flip in sequence before your app opens (adjustable, or off if you like it calm) • Four icon styles, from monochrome glyphs themed to your accent to the app's own full-color icon, so every home screen looks designed rather than dumped together • Your own photo behind the grid, with the tiles reading as windows onto it
▍ A LAUNCHER THAT ACTUALLY DOES THINGS • Weather tile with live forecasts (private, straight from the device, no account) • Calendar tile: your next 7 days, right on the home screen • To-dos and reminders with exact-time alarms that survive a reboot • Habit tracker with day strips, streaks, and a daily target for the habits that need more than one go a day • Quick contact tiles: call or message someone straight from the home screen, with their photo on the tile • Photo tiles with a slow pan and zoom • Folders that hold up to nine apps in a single tile • Flashlight tile: one tap, no extra permissions • A dedicated dashboard page pulling it all together
▍ YOURS TO SHAPE • Seven tile sizes, from a full-width banner down to a single icon square, picked straight from a list • App names on the tiles, switched off tile by tile • Drag-and-drop edit mode: leave gaps, add section labels, recolor any tile • Any accent color you can think of: a full picker with hex codes and your own saved palette, plus a black or white background • Configurable dock (glyphs, shelf, or solid tiles), tile spacing, corner radius, animation speed • App list as a clean alphabetical list or a tile grid, with instant search, letter jump, and apps you can hide • Notification badges that count what you choose: every notification, messages only, or the app's own number • Full landscape support with a side dock rail • Back up and restore everything to a single file
▍ FAST. TRULY FAST. Built in 100% Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, tuned obsessively. Cold start around 150 ms and frames that stay smooth at 120 Hz. Your launcher should never be the thing that makes you wait.
▍ PRIVATE BY DESIGN No ads. No analytics SDK. No tracking. No account. Weather is fetched anonymously on your device, and permissions are asked only when a feature needs them, never all at once, up front. Quick contacts work without the contacts permission: you pick the person, the launcher keeps just that one name.
▍ PAY ONCE. THAT'S IT. sqTile is free to use, with a generous free tier. Want it all? sqTile Pro is a single one-time purchase, no subscription, ever. Pro unlocks the habit tracker, folders and the stack tile, up to 7 dock slots, custom colors, and full appearance customization.
Set sqTile as your default launcher and give your home screen a personality again. If you loved Windows Phone, or you're just tired of the same round-icon grid, this one's for you.
Recent changes: • New: wallpaper behind the tile grid, with a tile transparency slider (Pro glass tiles) • Change wallpaper from the launcher's long-press menu • Settings sliders show a live preview as you drag • Weather tile and dashboard: switch Celsius/Fahrenheit • Row handles show which rows move before you drag • Trim tiles narrower with new width buttons in the picker • Dragged tiles draw on top now, easier to drop in place • New "Align" chip fixes a drifted desktop; dragging is sturdier
