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

Will you open source it?
Not at the moment, it’s something I have been thinking ever since I started, so I haven’t ruled that out in future
Why not?
What does it do that other, FOSS launchers on F-Droid don’t do?
it’s still under lots of development, but here’s a few:
- Better support for foldables (separate layouts for each screen)
- (Auto-scrolling) widget stacks
- Fine/ free positioning of home screen apps and widgets
- Resizable home screen icons
- Display drawer items as tiles (or single list)
Interesting, you can cross post to !android@lemdro.id too
Just did, thank you
Hello, I recently joined this post and was wondering when your launcher will come out? I would love to be a beta user if possible
