Hi everyone!
I’m happy to share my app, Octopi Launcher, which I’ve worked on for quite a while now.
Octopi Launcher is a launcher for Android, built with the latest trends in mind, which includes visual and haptic effects, and support for foldables.
Features:
- App drawer, dock and homescreen
- Different homescreen for different screen layout/ orientation/ size/ foldable position
- Widgets and (autoscrolling) widget stacks
- Home screen folders
- Fine/ free positioning of home screen apps and widgets
- Swipe actions for icons
- Display drawer items as icons or tiles (or single list); sort by installed date or updated date
- App search + instant launch
- Icon pack support
- Wallpaper blur when opening app drawer (on supported devices)
- Work profile support
- Fun animations and haptic effects

It will have a one-time in-app purchase, but I’m planning to give away free codes to closed beta testers. The free version will be ad-free and competitive, features-wise, with most free launchers.
Looks great , but it doesn’t look like it fit my needs.
Your search box is almost similar to what I described. Here’s a picture :
I also like having my less frequently used apps organized inside folders in the home screen for quick access. Like so:
Thanks for the screenshots. I may add an option to display a frequently launched/ pinned set of apps. As for finding recently installed/ updated apps, the sort modes above should be helpful.
