Hello Explorers,
How are you,

I hope you all are doing well and enjoying your time in MAGIC NATION

The app launcher is the very heart of the phone. You use it daily, often without notice, to launch apps, view widget information, check the time, and enjoy your wallpapers. While many OEM Android launchers are excellent. 

Minimalist launchers are designed to simplify your smartphone's interface, reducing distractions and promoting a more focused user experience. By eliminating unnecessary elements and providing a clean, uncluttered design, these launchers can help you stay organized and efficient. Here are the Four launchers app for your device. 

So without further delay let's get started.
1). Discreet Launcher:
Enjoy a clean home screen while accessing everything in an instant! Discreet Launcher provides you a distraction-free home screen, allowing you to fully enjoy your wallpaper. From this clean home screen, simply slide your finger down to display your favorite applications, or up to see the complete list of applications. If you hold your finger for a few moments on an application, you will be offered to access its system settings and its page in the store. Discreet Launcher is open source, doesn't require any unnecessary permission, works completely offline and doesn't include any advertisements.

Discreet Launcher is another minimal launcher. True to its name, it provides an icon-free home screen that gives way to a traditional grid app drawer when you swipe up. But swipe down, and a customizable favorites menu shade appears from the top of the display. This is a great little design addition, even if it’s utilitarian in design. You can pin individual apps or folders of apps for better organization and customize several facets of its operation. 

The launcher is incredibly swift and should be a treat on small Android phones or older hardware. 

FEATURES:

➠ Folders
➠ Search
➠ Rename and hide apps
➠ Notification for access to favorites
➠ Horizontal swipe or double-tap to open app
➠ Shortcuts support (web apps)
➠ Export and import settings
➠ Help and changelog
➠ Customization options

2). ReZ Launcher:
A minimalist design launcher that took heavy inspiration from Nokia Z Launcher. A loose recreation of the abandoned Nokia Z Launcher, with some modern features added. Written with Modern Android Architecture, Jetpack Compose & Google's ML Kit SDK.

On the surface, ReZ Launcher seems to be another simplified launcher displaying minimal apps alphabetically with a dock running along the bottom of the screen. But scribble a letter with your finger, and you’ll discover its hidden search smarts. For example, scribble the letter “s” to avail a list of apps starting with or containing that letter. You can scribble sequential letters to narrow down the search, too. 

It’s a strange experience, as searching for apps this way takes a little more time than using a search bar and the keyboard. However, I intended this list to document unique Android launchers, and ReZ certainly fits the bill. 

FEATURES:

Image

➠ Scribble to search apps & contacts
➠ Auto suggests apps & contacts based on your usage history
➠ Multiple handwriting languages support
➠ Hide your apps & contacts at different levels
➠ Assign aliases to your apps, contacts & Other Features

3). Before Launcher:
The functional minimalist launcher. Reduce distractions so you can focus.

Before Launcher gets your time back, by giving your phone a minimal look. Before Launcher is among my favorite launchers on this list. As one of the many productivity-focused launchers available, its goal is to clear clutter and reduce immediate visual distractions. 

The default home screen contains a list of eight icon-less apps presented in large, bold font. You can also enable clock, date, and unlock counter widgets above this list. Swipe to the right, and you’ll find a notifications manager. This is Before’s party piece, as it suppresses notifications and keeps a running list of those you’ve received. Finally, swipe left to open a traditional list of searchable apps. 

FEATURES:

Image

➠ Minimal homescreen
➠ Customize the look, make your own clean style
➠ Fast access to your favorites and everything else
➠ Favorite, folder and hide your apps
➠ Hide less important notifications
➠ Notified but not distracted
➠ Built to be private
➠ No required permissions = more privacy/security
➠ Take control of your phone
➠ Style your app icons
➠ Easy set up

4). Minimalist phone: Screen Time:
Minimalist launcher to help reduce screen time, be productive & achieve goals. Minimalist phone launcher designed for Android users seeking simplicity and enhanced productivity. The launcher helps reduce your time spent on the phone.

Image
 
Minimalist is similar to Before in that both launchers focus on reducing visual clutter, but I really appreciate Minimalist’s stripped-down design. By default, it displays the year-in-progress and day-in-progress widgets as horizontal bars, which can be decidedly disconcerting. Scroll to the left, and you’ll find an alphabetical list of installed apps. 

There’s an array of customizations on offer, including theme colors, options to use custom icon packs or no icons at all, and various gestures. 

FEATURES:

Image

➠ Choose from over 20 themes, catering to both light and dark preferences.
➠ Personalize with a selection of over 20 custom fonts.
➠ Rename apps for better context, enhancing your productivity launcher experience.
➠ Maintain privacy by hiding personal or sensitive apps.
➠ Key utilities included, such as a battery percentage indicator, quick access to clocks, and calendar integration.
➠ Support for diverse icon packs and an emergency phone call widget.
➠ Implement the minimalist launcher feature—double tap to sleep—through optional accessibility services. 

⌲ Get it on Play Store:

There are plenty of unconventional and unique Android launchers available on Play Store there offering varied design philosophies. With so many options to choose from, you're sure to find the perfect launcher for you.
