✅ Minimal homescreen
Quick launch of your most important apps. It’s configurable, too!

⭐ Favorite, folder, and hide your apps
Group apps into folders. Pin apps to the top of your apps list. Hide unwanted bloatware (*available in pro version)

⛔ Hide trivial notifications
Our filtered notification drawer is unique. Trivial notifications won't interrupt you with vibrations, pings, or noise. They won't clutter up your notification bar but are still accessible with a quick swipe.

🔕 Notified but not distracted
Focus on what is essential. Important notifications (defined by you) still notify you so you don’t miss anything.

🤝 Built to be private
We respect your privacy and do not capture or sell your data. You control our anonymous analytics.

🔒 No required permissions = more privacy/security
Many other launchers require multiple device permissions. (the notification filter asks for one access but you can turn off that feature)

Before Launcher can sort apps by size, installation date, and last use. Manage app space efficiently based on your preferences.

⚙️Suite of custom widgets designed for wellness
Enhance screen time mindfulness with free widgets showing date & time, battery status, weather, and screen unlocks per day and week average.

🦄 Style your app icons

Selected as one of Fast Company's best new apps in 2019.
The minimalism movement influences our work inspired by books like Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport, How to Break Up with Your Phone by Catherine Price, and Indistractable by Nir Ayal. (2) Products like the Lightphone.

The Before Launcher app uses Android's Accessibility Service API for the double-tap screen-off gesture with optional user consent. The service does not collect or share any data and can be disabled at any time by the user.
