Full description

A minimalist launcher that makes your home screen calm and fast. No icon grid to get lost in, no noise competing for your attention. Just the few things you actually use, reached through quick gestures. - Swipe up and type: opens the app the moment your search is unique, no extra tap - Text-based shortcuts: tap to open, hold to reassign, up to seven apps - Swipe left or right for two more instant shortcuts - Clock, weather, calendar and battery at a glance. Hold the clock for a quick alarm, the calendar for a to-do list, the weather for sunrise and sunset. - Dark and light mode, colors to your taste - No ads, no tracking, no data collection. None, ever. I built the launcher I was missing. I couldn't switch to a dumb phone, but I wanted mine to feel that way. I've used it every day since, gradually shaping it to fit real life. Swipe down and you'll find the rest of the Mars family too, the same idea, one tool at a time, one swipe away. Mars — Minimalist And Really Simple. A growing family of small, calm tools built around one idea: solve one problem well, and never fight for your attention. No ads, no tracking, nothing built to keep you hooked. Made by one person, out of conviction — tools that work for you, not on you.
