₿launcher
Digital minimalism, Bitcoin maximalism. The time, the price, the apps you actually open — then nothing.
The whole home screenNo icons. No wallpaper. No page two.
Tap a line
- Type only
- Every line is a target, and every target is something you chose.
- Aligned your way
- Apps, clock, date and price each go left, centre or right — independently.
- Yours to name
- Rename anything. Put several apps behind one word. Hide the clock, or the date.
A drawing, not a screenshot — the launcher renders type on a flat ground and nothing else, so this is the real layout in real markup.

Where it earns its keep
Three meanings of “private”
An app you don’t want listed, an app nobody may discover, an app anyone may see but nobody may open. Different problems.
| In the list | In search | Opening it | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hidden | Gone | Never matched | From a pinned slot, if you kept one |
| Stealth | Gone | Its exact name, letter for letter | Launches on the match — it is never a row to tap |
| Privacy Lock | Listed as normal | Matched as normal | Biometrics or device PIN, through Android’s prompt |
Changing any of the three asks for you first, so a held phone can’t give them up. Android answers yes or no; ₿launcher never sees a fingerprint. All three are part of the unlock.

Three things that matter
Short answers
Do I have to care about Bitcoin?
No. The ticker is one orange line; ignore it and this is simply a very quiet text launcher. It cannot be switched off — better to know now than after installing.
Does it touch my coins?
No wallet, no keys, no addresses, no exchange account. It reads one public price and prints the number. It cannot move money, and it will never ask for a seed phrase.
How do I go back to my old launcher?
Android’s default-apps setting, where you chose this one. Uninstalling hands the home button straight back — your apps, folders and widgets were never moved.
A home screen you read, not one you browse.Nothing here to fall into.
A quieter phone
Free on Google Play. No feed, no ads, no account, no telemetry — and one optional unlock.
