About Slate

Slate is a minimal launcher built on one idea: you just launch apps. No widgets, news feeds, AI, or any other bloat.

Freescreen mode is the centerpiece: your home screen is a blank slate where icons live at any coordinate, not in a grid.

Pull guide lines from the screen edges when you want structure; icons snap to them and slide along them.

Prefer ordered rows? List mode gives you a vertical or horizontal scrolling list with drag-to-reorder.

Features:

* Freescreen: drag icons to any position, no grid

* Guide lines with snapping for optional structure

* List mode, vertical or horizontal, drag-to-reorder

* Work profile support: apps from Shelter/Island profiles show up badged

* Wallpapers: solid color, gradient (8 directions), or image, with auto-contrast text

* Toolbar snaps to any screen edge; custom or hidden title

* Per-app customization: icon size, shape (round, square, squircle, hexagon, octagon), rotation, labels

* Icon pack support (ADW, Nova, Apex, GO, Tesla formats)

* Blanket-set to restyle every icon at once

Everything is stored on-device. Free and open source under the MIT license.

What's new in 1.1

1.1 is a QoL Bundle update. - Search bar when adding apps so you can find one rather than scrolling past all of them. - Guide patterns: In freescreen edit mode, tap a region and split it in half. - Multi-select: Drag a box over empty canvas to select multiple icons and then set size, shape, rotation or labels for all of them at once. - Settings now displays your current home app and a link to the system picker.
