About Supernova Launcher

Supernova is a home screen you can shape to fit the way you use your phone. It works fully offline: no account, no tracking, no ads and no internet permission.

Home screen and dock

Adjustable grid, icon size, labels and margins, and a dock with multiple pages

Widgets with resizing, padding and stacking

Multiple pages with scroll effects and a page indicator

Folders with custom previews, backgrounds and swipe-to-open

App drawer

Vertical grid, list or horizontal pages, with a fast scroller

Tabs and folders to group apps, a separate Work tab and hidden apps

Recently opened apps row and instant search for apps, contacts and calculations

Look and feel

Icon packs, custom icons and icon shapes, including themed icons

Notification badges in several styles (needs notification access)

Light, dark and automatic night mode

Launch, drawer and page transition animations

Gestures

Swipe, double tap, pinch and two-finger gestures can open apps, shortcuts, the drawer, notifications, search or lock the screen.

Feed and cards

An optional page beside the home screen with your calendar, media controls, frequently used apps and your own cards. Cards hold apps, shortcuts or a widget, and can show up automatically when conditions such as time or a Bluetooth device are met.

Backup

Export and restore your whole setup, including layout and settings, to a file.

Permissions

Every permission is optional and only used for the feature that asks for it: contacts for search and the feed, calendar for the calendar card, nearby devices for Bluetooth card conditions, notification access for badges and the media card, and the accessibility service or device admin for gestures that lock the screen or open recents and quick settings.

What's new in v0.1.4

Fewer permissions: Supernova no longer asks for location, network state or secure settings access. - Removed the Hide status bar clock option - Removed the Wi-Fi network condition for cards - Night mode Auto now always works out sunset from your time zone
