# Flexera-Launcher-Releases
# Flexera Launcher
Release builds (APK downloads) of Flexera Launcher, a private Android launcher. Source code: https://git.mariosem.es/msemes/Flexera-Launcher
Flexera Launcher is a home screen app for Android. The home screen works like the one on a Pixel: pages, a dock, folders and widgets. The app list is different. It is one alphabetical list with an alphabet down the screen edge, and sliding a thumb along that alphabet jumps the list to a letter.
This repository holds the installable app only. Every version is on the [Releases](https://git.mariosem.es/msemes/Flexera-Launcher-Releases/releases) page.
Flexera Launcher is a personal project. It is not in any app store and comes without support.
## Install
1. On the phone, open [Releases](https://git.mariosem.es/msemes/Flexera-Launcher-Releases/releases) and download the newest `FlexeraLauncher-x.y.z.apk`.
2. Open the downloaded file. Android asks once whether your browser or file manager may install apps. Allow it, then tap **Install**.
3. Press the Home button and choose **Flexera Launcher**. If Android does not ask, pick it under Settings > Apps > Default apps > Home app.
The app needs Android 8.0 or newer. It is developed on Android 17.
## Updates
The app asks this repository about once a day whether a newer version exists. When one does, it offers the download in its own settings: touch and hold an empty spot on the home screen, tap **Home settings**, then **About**. It also shows a notification if you have allowed the app to send them.
That check is the only thing the app uses the internet for. It sends nothing about you, your apps or your phone.
## Source and licence
Flexera Launcher is a modified version of [Lawnchair](https://github.com/LawnchairLauncher/lawnchair), which is based on Launcher3 from the Android Open Source Project.
The source code is at <https://git.mariosem.es/msemes/Flexera-Launcher>. The repository's licence is the Apache License 2.0, and a few files inherited from Lawnchair are under the GNU General Public License v3.
