Full description
Dot Launcher A minimalist launcher for people who want their phone back. Dot Launcher replaces your cluttered home screen with a calm grid of coloured dots. One dot per app: no noise, no badges, no algorithmic distractions. Just your phone, doing what you ask of it. If you're looking for a minimal, distraction-free Android launcher to break the scroll habit and reclaim your attention, Dot Launcher is built for you. FEATURES + Dot grid: tap to launch. Each dot picks up its app's colour scheme, or long-press to choose your own. + Three display modes: dots, initials, or icons. Choose how much (or how little) to show. + Searchable app drawer: swipe up for a full list of every installed app. + Eight clock styles: curated typefaces for your home screen clock. + Custom backgrounds: set a photo or one of the included presets. + Doom Scroll Timer: a mindful pause before social media opens. You can still get in, you just have to choose to. + The Living Dot: calm 'breaths' with light phone use, faster 'breaths' during heavy use. No numbers, no nagging, just a quiet signal. + Halo notification rings: an optional coloured ring around a dot when an app has a new notification. No counters, just a soft signal for those that want it. DIGITAL WELLBEING, NOT GUILT Dot Launcher isn't here to lock you out of your phone or shame you for using it. It's here to make the addictive pull a little bit quieter, so the choice is yours again. PRIVACY No ads. No analytics. No tracking by us. Your settings, layout, and app usage stay on your device - they are never sent anywhere. You may notice the Play Store's Data Safety page lists a few data types as 'collected'. To be straight with you about what that means: - Personal info & Financial info: your name, email, and payment details when you buy Pro. This is handled entirely by Google Play, not by us. We never see your card or personal information. - App info and performance: standard crash reports from Google Play, so we can fix bugs when the app stops working. No usage tracking, no behaviour profiling, no identifiers tied to you. That's it. Nothing else leaves your phone. DOT LAUNCHER PRO Every feature unlocked free for 14 days. After that, a one-time purchase unlocks everything forever. No subscription. No renewal. No dark patterns. PERMISSIONS QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES: list installed apps so they can be shown as dots. REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES: uninstall apps from the launcher. POST_NOTIFICATIONS: show a single notice when your free trial is ending. BIND_NOTIFICATION_LISTENER_SERVICE: show a coloured ring around a dot when an app has an unread notification (optional, off by default).
