KISS Launcher3.26.0

Type a few letters on KISS Launcher’s home screen to find and start an installed app without browsing through pages of icons. It replaces a conventional, crowded launcher with a search-first interface that gets you to programs quickly. The launcher adapts to your usage patterns, helping frequently chosen items appear faster over time.

Favorites and search history provide shortcuts to regular destinations, while tags help organize available entries. Its calculator handles ordinary expressions as well as percentage-based calculations such as 80 + 20%. Custom icons, selectable themes, and separate light, dark, or system-default theme choices let users adjust the compact interface. The application is about 250 KB, keeps user data on the device, never connects to the Internet, and is designed to reduce battery use and system overhead compared with more complex launchers.

KISS Launcher suits people who prefer keyboard-driven access, minimal visual clutter, and quick app launching from a phone’s home screen. It also uses Android’s Accessibility API for its double-tap-to-lock function; that process does not access or store data. It is open-source software under GPLv3+ copyleft licensing.

Version 3.26.0 fixes cases where history failed to appear alongside the keyboard and prevents custom icons from vanishing after the app cache is cleared. It also adds percentage calculations and a separate dark-theme setting, while refreshing favorites when custom icons change. KISS Launcher runs on Android 5.0 and later and uses a Universal architecture.
