I've had a very positive experience with this minimalist yet customizable launcher so far.
The devs have been responsive and grateful for my bug reports which is a breath of fresh air. (Bugs I've reported for other projects in the past have either gone completely unacknowledged or have been met with derision.)
Also, the speed at which development has progressed since initial testing has been phenomenal. As am amateur coder, I am really impressed with the evolution of this app so far.
With regard to the app itself, it's definitely sticking to its minimalist mission statement but it's customizable enough to allow users to make their home pages their own without cluttering them up with too many elements.
I'm using this launcher as my daily driver and look forward to seeing more developments in the near future.
Why we built this Launcher
We all always loved customising our phone, but most launchers we tried were either too bloated or too restrictive. They came packed with features I didn’t care about, or made simple things overly complicated.
We just wanted a clean, fast, minimal home screen—something we could tweak to my liking without it turning into a full-time job.
So we built it.
What It Does
This is a minimal, customisable Android launcher that focuses on simplicity and control. No clutter. No distractions. Just a clean space that you can shape the way you want.
Key Features:
Minimal UI – Just your apps, organized how you like.
Customizable grid, icon size, spacing – Make it yours.
Hide apps / Focus mode – Keep things clean and distraction-free.
Icon pack support – Use your favorite style.
Fast and lightweight – No bloat, no background junk.
Privacy-respecting – No data collection, no tracking.
Light/Dark/AMOLED themes – Looks good with any wallpaper.
Who It’s For
Anyone who wants a clean, distraction-free home screen.
People who care about performance and privacy.
Customisation lovers who don’t want to deal with clutter.

What a minimalist design —so simple yet premium at the same time. Absolutely love this ♥️
Started with this app a few days ago, always found it hard to get used to a launcher with a minimal feel, because I got so used to Google's own, but this seems different some how it provides a relaxing experience, still needs getting used to but I think it won me over.
Developing is very active right now to provide a smooth experience.
Can't wait to update to the latest version en full Phocus experience.
