About flowUX synesthesia - a beautiful launcher for cars

Introducing flowUX, a launcher inspired by many car-optimized user interfaces available on the market today.

We have worked with designers and developed a launcher from the ground up to feature the most beautiful animations, customized functionalities and performance that do not distract from the driving experience!


Features:

For the best experience, please have a connected GPS antenna and a constant internet connection!

★ Theming:
We support up to 10 different pre-built themes in the launcher, selectable to your liking! We also have KswOverlay support just in case you'd like to change the icons to other designs!

★ Make it yours!
We created this launcher to be customizable to an extent where you can change each shortcut to any application available on the device. You can also display your own name on the status bar!

★ Dynamic Navigation:
Our user interface includes a map view of your current location, which uses the GPS module connected to your screen. This provides turn-by-turn display of your live location no matter where you drive!

★ Fall in love with your Music album covers:
We intricately designed a beautiful animation to showcase your album covers on your Music. Fading between tracks and keeping a slightly blurred look adds to the enjoyment of listening to music in your car while keeping the display clean from distractions.
Tested apps: Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music, Apple Music, QQ Music (CN), Phonograph, AIMP, Melon (KR), Naver Vibe (KR)

★ Spotify API Access:
We now officially use the Spotify API for faster metadata display. This means that you must enable "Device Broadcast Status" inside the Spotify application's Settings or else you will not see anything!

★ Direct MCU Communication:
This means that you are able to go back to COMAND/NTG mode whenever you need, directly inside the launcher. We are able to communicate with the MCU directly, without creating any lag and funneling all of the information directly through our custom protocols.

★ Animations that make your eyes water
We wanted to make it so that the launcher is not just a typical launcher. It had to be a car-optimized launcher that has beautiful animations no matter what you do! From launching apps with dynamic coloring, to opening settings and switching themes, it's designed with a meticulous attention to detail.

Permissions overview:

📅 Notification Access (Optional): This app collects Notification data while the launcher is up to detect Music playback metadata. This means that as long as your Music player provides a notification while playing music, we will be reading that for track information.

🛰️ Location Access (Optional): This app collects location data to enable a live map view behind the Maps icon when the app is in the foreground and in use. Location information will not be saved and/or uploaded.
