About this app

Lynx Launcher is a customizable replacement for your home screen 📲 that provides a focused, clean and unobtrusive user interface.
Inspired by the Gnome Desktop Environment™ for Linux, Lynx Launcher offers all functionalities of a modern home screen without being too complex or distracting.

Features:


🔶 No distractions or superfluous functions
All available functions are carefully chosen to not clutter the launcher with unnecessary distractions and provide a clean look. You can also hide Applications you cannot uninstall but don't want to see.
🛠️ Customization options
Change the position of the dock, text size, desktop grids, search bar visibility, notification dots(*) and more.
👆 Fast navigation and gestures
Applications, favorites, search and desktop are all reachable with just a single swipe. Want to open a shortcut, setting, app or see a contact using a gesture? No problem!
💚 See your favorite applications and contacts at one place
The favorites screen will show you all your favorite applications and contacts for easy and fast access.
🔍 Extended search functionality
The in-app search function allows you to search for apps, contacts, shortcuts, settings and can be used as a calculator or to start an online search using a search engine of your choice.
🎨 Theming for launcher and icons
You can use your favorite icon theme from Google Play, change the shape of the adaptive icons(*) or even change the whole theme of the Launcher.
🌙 Dark mode support
Choose whether Lynx Launcher should use a dark or a light theme or when the dark theme should be used. You can also change the dark mode individually for parts of the app.

This launcher app is delightful in every way I can imagine! When I used it to replace the Pixel Launcher it felt like I had bought a new phone ♥️! I was able to put all of my apps on my home screen without any distractions. 20% more screen real estate! My only regret is that I didn't find Lynx earlier! One small feature request would be too have a setting for the folder window opacity. I'd prefer the folder windows to be opaque so that I didn't see the app icons from behind showing through.

Lynx has long been my favorite launcher for the simplicity, functionality, and elegant appearance. The latest update broke blurred screens, which was one of my favorite features that few other launchers have, and the parallax effect does not work despite being enabled. It may be a conflict with One UI 6, but I hope they can learn to play nice after additional updates.

Well done! Easy to set up. Learning curve is smooth and enjoyable. Highly customizable to the smallest degree, yet I'm happy with the setting of following the theme. Great desktop concept, informative online help section if you need it. Bought it within the hour, highly recommend everyone do the same. Very active development. Thank you for your hard work! Using folders in the dock is a plus! Lynx can be as minimalist or as busy as you like. A perfect blend of both!
