Hi everyone!
I'm happy to share my app, Octopi Launcher, which I've worked on for quite a while now.
Octopi Launcher is a launcher for Android, built with the latest trends in mind, which includes visual and haptic effects, and support for foldables.
Features:
- App drawer, dock and homescreen
- Different homescreen for different screen layout/ orientation/ size/ foldable position
- Widgets and (autoscrolling) widget stacks
- Home screen folders
- Fine/ free positioning of home screen apps and widgets
- Big home screen icons
- Swipe actions for icons
- Display drawer items as icons or tiles (or single list); sort by installed date or updated date
- App search + instant launch
- Icon pack support
- Wallpaper blur when opening app drawer (on supported devices)
- Work profile support
- Fun animations, reflections and haptic effects

What does it do that other, FOSS launchers on F-Droid don't do?

This sounds cool
4 0 ReplySounds really interesting. I'm thinking about getting a foldable that doesn't allow different layouts for the screens, will probably check it out if I get one. Does it allow the swipe down gesture to open notifications?
