Multi Launcher ‧ Home Screen

Multi Launcher ‧ Home Screen is an open-source launcher for Android that replaces a conventional icon-focused home screen with labeled text buttons. It is intended for people who prefer a clean, readable starting point for opening apps and navigating their phones. The text-based approach can also suit users who want larger text, a simpler layout, or less visual clutter.

Users can rename apps, arrange them through flexible layouts, and adjust font sizes to match their preferences. The launcher supports customization of the clock and date, including their placement on the home screen, and can place widgets where the user wants them. It also provides app usage insights so users can see how much time they spend in each app. These controls let users shape the home screen without changing the Android platform itself.

Multi Launcher supports taps, swipes, long swipes, and other configurable gesture shortcuts for actions such as opening apps, locking the screen, and reaching notifications. Its AccessibilityService-based functions can lock the screen, open the power menu, and pull down the notification drawer. A biometric lock is available for settings and privacy, and the listed accessibility functions do not collect or share personal data.

As an Android Launcher, the software sits at the home-screen layer of the Android platform rather than serving as a general-purpose app or operating system replacement. Its open-source license makes it suitable for users who want software distributed under an open-source model. MirrorNest mirrors the official Android build directly on its own storage and scans it for malware before publishing.
