Download Icarus Launcher 11 on Windows PC – 28.1 MB

Icarus Launcher is a custom launcher for Android phones built solely for the LARP Icarus by Terre Spezzate. It won't be useful for anyone outside the game. It replaces the launcher (= home screen) of your Android phone and offers functionality you might find useful during the game. It also alters the look and feel of your device to allow for a maximum of immersion.

It offers the following features:
* clock running on the 14h station time cycle
* personal log where you can type notes, record audio clips, or save pictures
* a customizable set of station regulations for easy lookup during the game
* access to all apps on your phone through a list stripped of the icons. No need to find a sci-fi icon for your calculator
* possibility to hide apps you don't want to use
* all of the above locked with a keyguard, so you can disable the lockscreen of your device entirely
* fully customizable colour scheme
* can be locked to all orientations of your device, in case you want to carry it in some crazy configuration

I built this thing in a very short time, so it is possible there are bugs and it might not run on your device.
