Pie Launcher\n\nAndroid home screen launcher that uses a dynamic\n[pie menu](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pie_menu)\ninstead of tables of icons.\n\nOnce you get used to it, you can launch your most frequently used apps\nusing [muscle memory](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muscle_memory) without\neven looking at the screen.\n\nApps you don't use regularly are quickly available with just one tap and\nby typing the first one or two letters of the app name.\n\nIf you find this app useful and wish to support its continued development,\nyou can [buy me a

Then swipe to choose an app to start.\n\n![How to use pie menu](svg/guide_pie_menu.svg)\n\n### How to open the app list\n\nTap once to open the list. Then type the name of an app you want to start.\nUsually, one or two letters are enough, even if you mistyped a letter.\nIf the app in the top left is the one you want, you can hit the Search\nkey on your keyboard to start it.\n\n![How to open the app list](svg/guide_open_list.svg)\n\n### How to close the app list quickly\n\nSwipe down to close the app list.\n\n![How to close the app list quickly](svg/guide_close_list.svg)\n\n### How to edit the pie menu\n\nLong press an app in the listing of apps to enter the editor for the pie menu.\nUse 4, 6, or 8 icons in the pie menu to make the most out of it.\n\n![How to edit the pie menu](svg/guide_edit_pie.svg)\n\n## Troubleshooting\n\n### There's a short delay after doing the home gesture\n\nThis is an Android bug that Google needs to fix.\nAll 3rd party launchers suffer from this bug. See:\n\n* [Homescreen interaction delay with gesture navigation?](https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/dp5x1i/homescreen_interaction_delay_with_gesture/)\n* [What is up with home gesture animations with 3rd party launchers.](https://www.reddit.com/r/GooglePixel/comments/ecvbiv/what_is_up_with_home_gesture_animations_with_3rd/)\n* [Nova Launcher Tweet](https://twitter.com/Nova_Launcher/status/1169295641538940930)\n\nA possible workaround is to **use the back gesture** instead of the home\ngesture wherever possible (this may not be desirable in a browser app,\nas it also closes the open tab).\n\nThe back gesture works immediately and without any delay.\n\n### The soft keyboard takes too long to appear\n\nThis is an issue of your keyboard app that may do too much work.\nUnfortunately, GBoard is not the best choice for all devices.\n\nI recommend using a lighter alternative like\n[OpenBoard](https://f-droid.org/de/packages/org.dslul.openboard.inputmethod.latin/)\nwhich is fast even on low-end devices.\n\n### Home returns to the default launcher\n\nPlease set Pie Launcher as your default home screen launcher.\n\nYou can either do this manually from your phone's Settings → Apps → Default\napps. Or from the settings within Pie Launcher (enter the editor and tap on\nthe settings icon) where there should be an item \"Make default launcher\".\n","funding_links":["https://www.buymeacoffee.com/markusfisch","https://liberapay.com/markusfisch/","https://ko-fi.com/markusfisch"],"categories":["Android"],"sub_categories":["Android Launcher"],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmarkusfisch%2FPieLauncher","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fmarkusfisch%2FPieLauncher","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fmarkusfisch%2FPieLauncher/lists"}
