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
- Big home screen icons
- 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, reflections and haptic effects

I’d love to hear your feedback below, and have a nice day!
I might try it out if it ever becomes open source but trebuchet is good enough at this point that I’m definitely not going to use a closed source launcher.
I’ll share here if I open source this or a variant of this
