Niagara Launcher ‧ Home Screen

Niagara Launcher at a glance

Niagara Launcher ‧ Home Screen replaces the standard Android app grid with a compact, vertical list. It is suited to people who want to reach apps, notifications, and other daily information without moving around a crowded home screen, especially on larger phones or when using one hand.

How the home screen works

Your selected apps sit in a simple list, while the alphabet along the edge provides a quick route to the rest of the app drawer. The layout can also bring items such as media controls, messages, and calendar events into view when they are relevant. Notifications appear directly on the home screen rather than only as small app badges.

• One-hand navigation: use the list and alphabet control without relying on a conventional grid.
• Minimal presentation: keep the main screen focused on a chosen set of apps and current information.
• Material You support: apply wallpaper-based theming across supported Android versions.
• Personal controls: adjust the appearance with icons, fonts, wallpapers, and other launcher settings.

Who it suits

This launcher fits users who prefer a focused, text-led layout over rows of icons. It also makes sense for anyone who finds a traditional app grid difficult to scan or reach. People who want notification actions, media controls, and calendar details close to the home screen may find the integrated layout more practical than a separate widget-heavy setup.

Niagara Launcher is developed by Peter Huber and has more than 10,000,000 installs.
