2 App Launchers for Android I Wanted to Share
Posted: Mon Nov 10, 2025 7:32 pm
- Square Home
It's an app launcher that organizes your phone into tiles, like Windows Phone. They have a lot of features: widgets, live tiles, custom tile images & colors, & the ability to use both icon packs & individual pictures for icons. It's freemium meaning that certain features like the built-in glossy tiles are hidden behind a paywall, but you can work around this by setting it to a custom image.
- Distrohopper (Google Playstore, F-Droid/Izzy On Droid)
As the name suggests, it's an app launcher for making your home screen look like different linux desktop environments. It's completely free and open source, however it's more limited in its functionality than Square Home & the widgets don't work. But I think the Ubuntu Unity theme is cool because I like how Ubuntu Unity used to look.
