WaveLauncher One-Hand Launcher

Your whole phone, under one thumb.

WaveLauncher is a minimal home screen built for one hand. Your favorite apps sit low, where your thumb already is, as a calm list or a clean grid. Every other app is one slide away on the A–Z wave rail: run your thumb along the edge, the letters swell around it, and that letter's apps appear right under your finger. Let go, and you're there.

No ads. No tracking. No account. Ready in under a minute.

★ WHY PEOPLE SWITCH
• Made for one hand: everything you tap is within thumb reach, even on big phones
• Arabic and English done right: proper sorting, search, and full right-to-left
• Calm, not empty: new messages show under the app they came from, so you open only what matters
• Fast and light: no feeds, no news panel, nothing to load

★ THE WAVE RAIL
• Reach any app in one slide, without scrolling through an app drawer
• On the left or right edge, with haptics and a wave as strong or subtle as you like

★ YOUR HOME, YOUR WAY
• Your favorites as a list or a grid, with a big, clear clock and date
• Ready-made looks to start from: Calm, Focus, Grid, Compact, and Thumb
• Long-press anything to move or resize it: apps, a widget, the clock
• Long-press an empty spot for widgets, clock styles, and your favorites
• A widget on home, and music controls while something plays
• Light, dark, or wallpaper-matched colors, and a wallpaper gallery with free photos from NASA, credited
• Pull down anywhere on home to search

★ SEARCH EVERYTHING
• Apps, app shortcuts, and contacts as you type
• Quick math (12*7) and web search from the same box

★ PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Hide apps, and lock the hidden list with your fingerprint or screen lock
• Work profile and Private Space support
• App categories are worked out on your phone; your app list never leaves it
• Anonymous usage and crash reports, with no personal data; turn them off in Settings

★ WAVELAUNCHER PRO (OPTIONAL)
Everything above is free. Pro adds more, and new subscribers can try it free for 7 days:
• Folders, with suggested folders that sort your apps for you
• More widgets, widget stacks, and widgets inside an app's card
• Icon packs, fonts, clock styles, and theme presets
• Weather and upcoming events beside the clock
• The full wallpaper gallery, or a new wallpaper every day
• Reply to messages from home, and a quiet notification summary
• Your own gestures: open any app or shortcut with a swipe or double tap
• Usage limits, break reminders, calm apps, and focus hours
• Secret apps, opened by a word you type in search
• Kids mode: only the apps you chose, an optional time limit, and your screen lock to end it
• Backup and restore
If Pro ends, nothing you made is locked away: your folders, limits, and settings keep working.

★ PERMISSIONS, EXPLAINED
Each one is asked for only when you turn on the feature that needs it, and all are optional:
• Notification access: messages on home, music controls, the summary
• Contacts: contacts in search
• Calendar and approximate location: events and weather beside the clock
• Usage access: usage limits and kids mode, to know which app is open; it stays on your phone
