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).
