Store listing

Full description
Typeahead is a search-only launcher for Android. No home-screen grid, no icons, no folders — just a black screen and a search box. Open your phone, start typing, and the app you want is one tap away. Most launchers fill your screen with icons that pull you into apps you never meant to open. Typeahead does the opposite: it gets out of the way so you use your phone less. WHY TYPEAHEAD • Type to launch — the keyboard is already up. Type a few letters, hit go, and the top match opens. • Pin favourites — long-press to pin the apps you use most; they sit on the home screen, ready. • Hide the noise — hide apps you never want to see in search. • Custom aliases — give any app your own search keyword (type "bird" to open your social app). • Smart ranking — your most-used apps rise to the top automatically. • Gestures — swipe down for notifications, up for settings, left or right for the full app list. • Quick actions — long-press any result for app info or to uninstall. CALM BY DESIGN A pure black, distraction-free interface that fades into the background. No widgets begging for attention, no badges, no infinite grid. Just the app you came for. PRIVATE BY DEFAULT No accounts. No analytics. No ads. No tracking. Typeahead collects nothing and sends nothing off your device — your app list and preferences never leave your phone. Light on resources, fast to open, and built to stay out of your way. Make your phone boring again. Install Typeahead.

What's new

Pressing home now opens a launcher that can already take a keystroke, so the first characters you type are no longer dropped. The installed-app scan no longer runs on the main thread on every home press, the search field takes focus before the window does, and devices with a hardware keyboard stop forcing the on-screen one up. All dependencies updated to their latest stable releases.
