About Retro DOS Launcher

Smart Commands: Use built-in commands like GOOGLE [terms] or GEMINI [prompt] for instant action, without needing to open your browser first.
Highly Customizable: Choose from various color themes to match your mood.
Easter Egg: Discover the hidden 'Matrix' screen for an extra touch of fun.

What’s new
Version 1.5.0 · Updated October 12, 2026
Long-press any app for a menu: shortcuts, pin, focus, delay, limit (needs screen time), app info, uninstall. HIDE and RENAME tidy your list. Edit your quick launch keys (choose, reorder, remove) and show them in 1 or 2 rows. Make it your home app in one tap. New: a greeting above the header, your next alarm under it, and optional * marks behind apps with a notification (opt-in, package names only, on your device).
