OpenLauncher (Pre-Alpha) on Windows Pc

This is the pre-alpha version which you will be receiving updates more frequently than the alpha version.
By purchasing this version, you will be able to support the development. Thanks. We need your support.


This app uses the Device Administrator permission for locking the screen via gesture.

Notice
Please be patient to those unfixed bugs, we are trying our best but time for us is always limited. Hope you will understand.

Currently, there are a lot of issues and we are not able to fix all at a time, so please be patient if the issue is still opening in GitHub. I and the team are going to review the structure of the launcher as it is not that good as I wrote them a long time ago, so there won't be any UI redesign and new features coming so certainly. Thanks for heading over and your support.

Status
Still under active development.

Why another launcher?
