flutter_launcher

Unname as of yet, this flutter project is an android launcher. The idea is to have a modern, minimalistic UI without compromising on access to data when you need it. Inspired by KISS and Kvaesitso.

Features

Current

• Search and launch apps via return or tapping on the list item
• Use your preferred search engine from your home screen
• Navigate to a site directly from your home screen
• Set Favorites for quick access (currently up to 4)
• Modular UI, only show the UI elements you need/want
• 3 Custom Widgets
  • Calendar
  • Tasks
  • Notes

In Progress

List of features that I'm actively working on implementing

• Set custom Gesture controls
  • Current plan is just for right and left swipe, but could expand as development continues
• Re-order Widgets
  • The ability to set a custom order to the custom widgets.
• Re-implement Settings
  • due to some reliability issues with the long press I'll be looking to moving Settings.
  • This is to be reviewed as the issue should now be fixed but moving the settings menu may provider better UX
• Modular Code
  • No user fracing stuff here but plan on reorganizing the code base where everything that could be standalone is
• Pinning Favorites
  • Currently when you pin a favorite it populates all four fields, this will be fixed in the future
• Widget support
  • Seems native widgets are a bit out of the question (cant find any resources on how to implemnt) so designing some custom ones

Planned

• Improved Search query for matching apps
• Change amount of favorites to be more dynamic

Future

This is a list of feature that I hope to accomplish but currently do not have the knowledge to do so

• WebCal?
• Dynamic Date
  • have the date widget change depending factors such as, if media is play change to media controls
• Native Widget Support (on back burner for now)
