Dextera Launcher

Dextera is a home launcher built for how you actually hold your phone: one hand, one thumb. Coffee in the other hand, dog leash, groceries — whatever it is, your thumb is on its own. Most launchers pretend you always have two hands free. Dextera doesn't. Page navigation, search, quick scroll, and reachability live in the thumb zone. On tablets, the workspace docks to whichever hand is holding the device. Updated daily. Dextera ships changes often — new styles, pages, icons, and polish. Expect the home screen to keep evolving. What's New in Settings always has the latest drop. ── WHY DEXTERA ── • Thumb-zone search bar — flick left/right to change pages, hold and drag to scrub through every page • One search for everything — apps, contacts, settings, files from folders you add, the web, and a built-in calculator • A–Z quick-scroll rails on the App List and Contacts so you fly through long lists • Stay out of your way — your widgets, your pages, your layout ── SEARCH ── One bar at the bottom of the screen. Instant on-device results for apps, contacts, and settings. Add folders to search local files. Filter with quick category chips. Your place on home stays put while you search. ── PAGES & NAVIGATION ── • Signature search-bar navigation or traditional page swiping — pick what feels right • Page overview: pinch home, long-press empty space, or tap the gear on the search bar • Reorder pages, set wallpapers, and manage widgets from one place • Built-in pages: App List, Contacts, Recents, Music, Notifications, Quick Settings, Scratch Board • Custom widget pages with free-form placement, resize, grid presets, and a proper in-app widget picker • Overlay widgets on built-in pages (up to 3, stacked) • Page transitions: Slide, Cube, Depth, Flip, Fade ── NOTIFICATIONS, MUSIC & QUICK SETTINGS ── • Notification center with stacked frosted cards, inline actions, and less system noise • Pin important apps to the top of your notification list • Media hub on the workspace — transport, volume, and gestures that stay in reach • Quick Settings tiles for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, flashlight, hotspot, DND, rotate, and more • Scratch Board for quick notes, clipboard capture, pinned notifications, and photos ── LOOK & FEEL ── • System wallpaper, pitch black, Bing Daily, built-in catalog, or your own photos • Per-page wallpapers with smooth crossfades • GNOME-style dynamic day/night wallpapers (import timed packs) • Live Appearance preview — edit wallpaper, colors, fonts, icons, and clock in place • One-tap Styles, save your look, and Match my wardrobe from a photo • Original Dextera icon packs: DuoTone, Wireframe, Frosted Glass, Dot Matrix, Neon Glow, Silhouette • Clock styles from minimal digital to analog, word clock, Planet Orbit, and Cosmos • Adaptive text contrast so clock and lists stay readable • Frosted-glass chrome across notifications, Scratch Board, Quick Settings, and the music player ── TABLETS & FOLDABLES ── Landscape split workspace, dock-side reachability, and traditional swiping that works across the canvas. On foldables, chain two pages into a spread. ── PRIVACY & PERMISSIONS ── Permissions are optional and tied to features (default home, notifications, contacts, weather, file folders, usage insights). File search uses folder access you choose. Local photos for wallpaper use the system picker — no broad photo library permission required. No SMS. No call log. ── PRO ── Dextera Pro unlocks privacy and power features such as app lock & hide, icon packs, weather vignettes, OTP chips from message notifications, and advanced polish. ── NOTES ── • Replace your default home app to use Dextera fully • Updated daily — features and visuals change often; report issues and ideas • Documentation: https://dexteralabs.io/DexteraWiki/
