Full description

Switch and launch any app in a second. Desktop Mode: Launcher & Tools gives your Android desktop a fast app switcher and command palette. Press one shortcut (Alt + Space by default, or set your own), start typing, and instantly jump to or open any app — without digging through a cluttered app grid. It's the quickest way to move between apps while you work on a monitor, tablet or in desktop mode. Made for big screens: external monitors, desktop mode, tablets and Android desktop setups. Works great with Samsung DeX. MAIN FEATURE — APP SWITCHER & LAUNCHER - Press one shortcut to open the command palette - Type a few letters to find and switch to any app - Launch apps and run actions instantly - A Spotlight-style launcher for your Android desktop EXTRA TOOLS INCLUDED - Clipboard history — search and paste anything you copied, encrypted on your device - Window snapping — drag a window to a screen edge to tile it (halves, quarters) - App dock — keep favorite apps and pinned files one tap away - Fully customizable keyboard shortcuts - 14 languages WHY YOU'LL LIKE IT - Fast, native and lightweight - No account, no sign-in, no ads - No root required — built only on official Android APIs - Not a home screen launcher replacement — it adds a quick switcher and tools on top of your existing setup PRIVACY Your clipboard, files and app data stay on your device and are never uploaded. We collect only anonymous crash and usage diagnostics to improve the app — never your clipboard, files or screen content, and we never sell your data. PERMISSIONS - Display over other apps — shows the switcher, clipboard and dock over your apps - Accessibility (optional) — this app uses the Accessibility Service API only to detect the keyboard shortcut and manage window positioning for multitasking. It reads only window info (position, focus, app name), never your screen content, and no personal data is collected. - Usage access (optional) — ranks the apps you use most - Foreground service — keeps the shortcut and overlays instant By Hearthside
