OpenX Launcher

OpenX Launcher — a fast, private, and beautifully customizable home screen.

OpenX replaces your home screen with a clean, glassy, deeply personal launcher. Make every detail yours — icons, colors, widgets, layout — while your data stays on your device. No ads. No tracking. No

accounts.

🎨 Make it yours

• Material You theming with light, dark, and system modes

• Pick a custom accent color, or match your wallpaper

• Apply any installed icon pack, or set custom icons and names per app

• Wallpaper-adaptive text that always stays readable

🔎 A smarter app drawer

• Fast, alphabetical, searchable drawer that updates live

• One search bar for your apps, the app stores (Play, F-Droid, Aurora, Aptoide & more), and the web (DuckDuckGo, Google, or Bing)

• Notification badges in your theme colors — dot, count, or app-name highlight

🧩 Widgets, your way

• iOS-style widget stacks — drop several widgets in one spot and swipe to flip

• Two 2×2 slots side by side, or one wide 4×2 stack

• Single-tap to use a widget, double-tap to open its app

✋ Powerful long-press actions

• Change an app's icon and name (and revert anytime)

• Pin to the home dock, lock, hide, view app info, or uninstall

🗂 App spaces

• Group apps into spaces like "Work" and switch them right from the drawer

• Optionally let an app appear in more than one space

🔒 Privacy & security, built in

• Lock any app behind a PIN, pattern, password, or biometrics

• A hidden-apps vault with its own name, icon, and lock

• Configurable cooldown after failed attempts

• Credentials are stored as slow, salted PBKDF2 hashes — never plain text

⏱️ At a glance

• A bold glass clock with selectable font and size (12/24-hour)

• Optional local weather (°C/°F/K) that refreshes every minute

• A pinned dock for your favorite apps

🛡 Private by design

• No ads, no analytics, no trackers, no sign-in

• All your customizations live only on your device

• Weather is off until you enable it, and only ever uses an approximate IP-based location

• Sensitive data (locks, hidden apps, custom icons) is kept out of cloud backups

🚀 Effortless setup

A guided first-run wizard helps you set OpenX as your default launcher, grant the permissions you choose, and pick your theme and icon pack in seconds.

Lightweight, fluid, and made for everyday use.

Works on Android 11 and newer.
