Pie Launcher

Tired of cluttered grids of icons and endless scrolling? Meet Pie Launcher — a minimalist, open-source Android launcher that replaces traditional home screens with a dynamic pie menu for lightning-fast navigation.

Designed for efficiency and simplicity, Pie Launcher lets you launch your favorite apps using muscle memory, without even looking at the screen. It’s a fresh, intuitive way to interact with your Android device — smooth, smart, and elegantly functional.

Dynamic Pie Menu Navigation

Say goodbye to crowded icon grids. Pie Launcher introduces a pie-shaped radial menu that gives you quick access to your most-used apps. Just tap and hold anywhere on your home screen to open the pie, then swipe and release to instantly launch your chosen app.

Launch Apps by Typing

Not seeing the app you need? Simply tap and type the first one or two letters of the app name, and Pie Launcher instantly pulls it up. This makes finding rarely used apps quick and effortless.

Customizable Pie Layout

You’re in control of your launcher design. Long press any app in the list to customize your pie menu. Choose between 4, 6, or 8 icons to strike the perfect balance between accessibility and minimalism.

Built for Muscle Memory

Once you’ve arranged your pie the way you like it, launching apps becomes second nature. Your thumb learns the motions, allowing you to open your most-used apps without even looking at the screen.

Lightweight and Open Source

Pie Launcher is completely open source, meaning no ads, no data tracking, and full transparency. Explore, modify, or contribute to its development at: https://github.com/markusfisch/PieLauncher

It’s lightweight, fast, and battery-friendly — designed to make your phone feel snappier and simpler.

One-Tap Access for All Apps

Even if an app isn’t part of your pie menu, it’s still just a tap away. The launcher’s search-first approach ensures every app is instantly accessible, minimizing time wasted scrolling.

Intuitive and Distraction-Free Interface

No widgets, no clutter — just your apps when and where you need them. The clean, minimal interface of Pie Launcher helps you focus on what matters most: getting things done faster.
