About The Project

Closed-source launchers are locking features behind paywalls and adding trackers. My goal is to offer powerful features with no compromises on privacy.

YAGNI ("You Aren't Gonna Need It") is a principle which arose from extreme programming (XP) that states a programmer should not add functionality until deemed necessary.

Features

  • No fixed grid size. You can set the grid width and height to any value you want.

  • Each grid item is fully customizable:

    • Size and rotation
    • Background color
    • Icon size
    • Text and label size
    • Label color
    • Show or hide icons and labels

  • Infinite scrolling

  • Multiple dock pages

  • Adjustable dock height

  • Custom dock grid size

We keep the APK size minimal and heavily cache icons and images, which improves the launcher’s performance. Each launch uses less memory because there’s less overhead, with no trackers or ads.
