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 page.

Flexera Launcher is a personal project. It is not in any app store and comes without support.

Install

On the phone, open Releases and download the newest FlexeraLauncher-x.y.z.apk.
Open the downloaded file. Android asks once whether your browser or file manager may install apps. Allow it, then tap Install.
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.
