Home Button Launcher

Your personalized Home Button App Launcher
★ On Android 6 Marshmallow the app opens through «Home Button Long Click», as an alternative to Google Now. Note you need to configure your "Assist" app manually, see here:http://dynamicgandroidapps.svn.cloudforge.com/main/sites/m6/marshmallow.html
★ On Android 4.x and Android 5.x the app is opened through «Home Button Swipe Up», as shown in the linked video. Note this only works properly on devices with three software buttons, e.g. Nexus phones. Samsung phones are poorly or not at all supported.
★ This app is ad-free and open source
→ Test this app if you're looking for a simple app launcher alternative to «Wave Launcher», «SwipePad», «Smart Taskbar» or «Sidebar», or if you want to replace the default «Google Now» home button binding→ Also check out Home Button Launcher Tools, this integrates nicely into Home Button Launcher

I was hoping for more features as a part of the UI; like adding shortcuts, and widgets.

I've been using this for ages now, and it is just ah-MAZE-ing! Integrates perfectly with the system, ridiculously easy to use, and so configurable. Being able to create web page shortcuts is very handy too. Google - take note of apps like this. This is the sort of feature that should be part of Android by default. This kind of flexibility and customisation is what sets Android apart from other makes/models of mobile devices. I honestly can't praise this app enough for its usefulness, simplicity and how it just makes life that little bit easier. Thank you.

Been using this since the days of KitKat, and it has always worked. The app appears in the centre of the screen; considering the tall aspect ratio of the phones nowadays, it is now a little difficult to reach the top row with the thumbs. Could you please add a setting to make it appear a bit closer towards the lower end of the screen?

Superb app, and need more features ex. Floating button, power off tool

Excellent for my use case. I removed my Google App and your app filled the gap. A quick launcher for my notes, dictionary, translator, file sync, Shazam and so on. I hope you keep it updated. Please add support for icon packs/shape and things like rounded edges, launch icon ( instead of rocket) and animation, delay, background blur, center icons/stick to left or right.

This is the most brilliant app I've ever seen! Definitely 5 stars! Thank you very much, it saved a lot of time in multitasking. It even almost replaced regular launcher! I also have a suggestion. Is it possible to make a widget for this app? If also it would be possible to launch apps from widget with SAME custom set of apps and tabs, I'll be speechless!

Absolutely fantastic App, does exactly what it says. Definitely recommend this App.

Very good for the hold home button functionality, but maybe add in a way to fully customise the interface style in the user choice of colours, shape, looks, text font and text colour, etc. because the interface looks out of date, so being able to fully customise the looks of the interface that will suit for the user's likings. 🎨

Works very well! Wish there was a way to customize the "rocket" icon displayed in the "keyring" when using the app to launch a single app. Would love to show the icon of the launched app or maybe have access to select another icon instead of the rocket.

godbless you. this app is superb. I combine it with (Off) app. perfect combination to leave my hardkey home untouched (since I have double tap to wake & fingerprint scanner). both apps downloaded for less than 1mb!

Saved my marriage. I use to accidentally click on the google assistant button during convo's with my wife which would lead to miscommunication. Now, it automatically hangs up the call. Thanks HBL! Jk I had a hardwired assistant button on my V60 that was a pain. Now it is my Discord launcher button.

I think it's a very nice app for quickly accessing apps but unfortunately when I uninstalled it, my normal google assistant didn't work anymore. Please be aware of this. (This might have just been a problem for me but I thibk it was worth mentioning)

Works on my moto e5 plus ok so far. Nice being able pick the apps I want on home button long press. These phones do enough all on their own, I want control of some of the stuff too !

Cam. A. Jan 6, 2019     

Works as intended on Samsung Note 9. Just need to go into options and set the default assistance app, like shown in the instructions. Thank you!

This app is an incredibly useful tool that is a mandatory install on every device I get. I highly recommend getting this app to everyone without hesitation.

Alb. N. Aug 27, 2021     

Been using it for years. I have my contacts on it and it has never failed! Would like a way to make It look more modern tho.

Jar. Aug 29, 2019     

The only thing I don't like is the white circle with the rocket pop up. Please remove this. Google doesn't even do this anymore, it just pops up

Lon. V. Sep 27, 2019     

It work perfectly to replace google voice. You can add more shortcuts like contacts and any apps.

P. D. Jul 21, 2019     

good but should have a variable countdown timer to runa default app. i.e. if i don't select an app after 3 seconds it'll load Google assistant

Var. S. Apr 5, 2019     

Please give option to hide icons, just text. And full blacl background.

Dna. D. Jun 9, 2020     

Works fine. Why update unless the dev gives details on what the actual bug fixes are?

J. May 12, 2021     

A rare quality app that's practically perfect. Pairs great with KISS Launcher.

Great app, but needs a cleaner UI.

Makes 'long-press-home' useful.
