Launcher314

Customize with Confidence

• I developed Launcher314 to solve a personal frustration: the "scavenger hunt" required to tweak simple settings like font size or grid layout.

• Originally designed to support my own transition to a more secure operating system, this project has evolved into a tool for anyone who values efficiency, privacy, and control.

Privacy First

• Your data belongs to you.

• Launcher314 stores everything locally on your device.

• I have stripped away unnecessary permissions—including internet access—and excluded all data-tracking libraries.

• Feel free to verify this using tools like TrackerControl.

Streamlined Customization

• Stop guessing how your changes will look.

• My interface features real-time preview windows that display your adjustments before you even apply them.

1. Precise Layouts:

+ Configure your Home Screen and App Drawer grids independently.

+ A universal icon-scaling system ensures your text and icons never overlap or bleed off the screen.

2. Intuitive Controls:

+ Toggle between scrolling and paged drawer modes with a single checkbox.

3. Visual Flair:

+ Navigate through a curated selection of fonts and adjust text sizes effortlessly using dedicated dropdown menus.

4. Personal Navigation:

+ Customize your scroll bars and navigation indicators to match your aesthetic.

Why Choose Launcher314?

• Most launchers bury settings in deep, confusing menus.

• I have condensed the experience into a handful of screens, allowing you to spend less time digging through options and more time building a home screen that truly fits your workflow.

Licensing and Permissions

1. Open Source:

• This project is free, open-source software (FOSS) licensed under the GPL-3.0.

2. Accessibility:

• The app uses an optional Accessibility Service exclusively to enable the "double-tap-to-lock" gesture.

• This service does not read your screen content, nor does it collect or share your personal data.

• You can toggle this permission off in your device settings at any time.

FAQ

Q: How does Launcher314 prioritize my privacy?

A: Privacy is core to this project. All of your data remains stored locally on your device, and I have intentionally stripped away all unnecessary permissions, including internet access. Furthermore, I have excluded all data-tracking libraries to ensure that your usage remains completely private.

Q: Can I verify the privacy claims regarding data tracking?

A: Absolutely. Because the app does not contain data-tracking libraries and lacks internet access, you are encouraged to verify this for yourself. You can easily use network-monitoring tools such as TrackerControl to confirm that no data is leaving your device.

Q: What does the "real-time preview" feature actually do?

A: The real-time preview window is designed to stop the guesswork in customization. Whenever you adjust a setting—such as font size or grid layout—the preview shows you exactly how that change will look on your screen before you officially apply it, saving you from having to toggle back and forth.
