Orbital Launcher, a home screen you turn
An Android launcher that puts apps on a thumb-spinnable orbit, with customizable pages, widgets, themes, and an optional assistant bar.
- For
- Android users who want a highly configurable home screen
- Worth noticing
- The launcher supports one or three orbit docks, nineteen named widgets, foldable-specific layouts, and Android 8.0 or later.
Field notes
The launcher organizes apps around one or three elliptical docks rather than a conventional icon row, with options to place the orbit on the bottom or either side of the display. Its page system supports widgets, app shortcuts, feeds, and existing Android widgets, while separate layouts are available for foldables. The site says permissions are requested feature by feature and identifies requests that may leave the device. The product is currently described as being in closed testing.
