Love how direct tasks are now instead of getting lost in all the apps. May I suggest that when you click on the widget menu, maybe the essential launcher loading page could be turned into a breathing moment?
Huge props to it, only suggestion is adding a plain black meme screen on the app so when it flashes the launcher before starting the app it looks seamless.
I love this launcher. And for $6 lifetime? It’s great. It has the same structure as competitors’ but works better and with the right kind of customization. Text size, spacing, style is up to you. And the wallpapers are simpler and don’t show the dock. Even in light mode! The one thing I don’t like is how, even after paying, the widgets have “Launcher” in tiny text at the bottom. So you get the app list sandwiched between “Launcher” in tiny print. Takes away from the minimal design and intention. I would get it if you’re using it for free, but not after paying. Edit: Thanks to the dev’s response, I made the widget larger and the text (name of the app) is no longer visible. Thank you!!
