Introducing... Octopi Launcher
(lemmy.world)
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

I'd love to hear your feedback below, and have a nice day!
Thanks for the screenshots. I may add an option to display a frequently launched/ pinned set of apps. As for finding recently installed/ updated apps, the sort modes above should be helpful.
One last thing that power users would certainly adore ( I certainly do ) :
When you long press an app a menu will pop-up with different icones. Remove the shortcut, widgets, uninstall the app, open the app informations (phone settings)(must have), open in playstore, edit the icon.
The short and buscar (search) button are app specific and are just shortcut to the app activities (i think it's the right word for it). A camera app would probably have take image and take video instead,etc
