WaveLauncher One-Hand Launcher

Your whole phone, under one thumb.

WaveLauncher replaces your home screen with one calm list of the apps you use most, and puts every other app a thumb slide away. Slide along the A–Z rail at the edge: the letters swell around your finger like a wave, and the apps for that letter appear right where your thumb is. Let go, and you're there.

It's built for one hand, for Arabic and English alike, and for privacy: no ads, no tracking, no account.

★ THE WAVE RAIL
• Every app in reach: slide the A–Z rail and its letters follow your thumb
• On the left or right edge, with haptics and a wave as strong or subtle as you like
• Arabic and English apps sorted the way you'd expect, right to left included

★ A HOME THAT STAYS OUT OF THE WAY
• Your favorites in one list, with a big, clear clock and date
• New notifications show under the app they belong to
• Music controls on home while something plays
• Suggested apps and a quick search from a pull down

★ SEARCH EVERYTHING
• Apps, app shortcuts, and contacts as you type
• Quick math (12*7) and web search from the same box

★ YOURS TO SHAPE
• Light, dark, or wallpaper-matched colors
• Free wallpaper gallery with commercial-use photos from Wikimedia Commons and NASA, credited
• Gestures: double tap, swipe, and long press to search or open any app or shortcut
• Widgets on home

★ PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Hide apps, and lock the hidden list with your fingerprint or screen lock
• Work profile and Private Space support
• App categories are worked out on your phone; your app list never leaves it
• No ads, no tracking, no sign-in; anonymous usage reports you can turn off
• Crash reports, with no personal data, help fix problems; turn them off in Settings

★ WAVELAUNCHER PRO
An optional upgrade for people who want more:
• Folders, with suggested folders that sort your apps into groups for you
• Icon packs, fonts, clock styles, and theme presets
• Weather and upcoming events beside the clock
• Reply to messages from home, and a quiet notification summary
• Usage limits, break reminders, and a distraction-free mode, with an optional screen lock to go past a limit
• Kids mode: hand your phone to a child with only the apps you chose and an optional time limit; your screen lock ends it
• Widget stacks and backup

Nothing you made is locked away if Pro ends: your folders, limits, and settings keep working.

PERMISSIONS, EXPLAINED
Every permission is asked for only when you turn on the feature that needs it, and is optional:
• Notification access: notifications on home, music controls, the summary
• Contacts: contacts in search
• Calendar and approximate location: events and weather beside the clock
• Usage access: usage limits and kids mode, to know which app is open. It stays on your phone.
