Pie Launcher

Home screen launcher that uses a dynamic pie menu instead of tables of icons.

Pie Launcher - Dynamic Pie Menu for Android

"Pie Launcher" is a unique home screen launcher for Android that replaces traditional app layouts with a dynamic pie menu. By tapping and holding, users can quickly select applications by swiping or typing the app's name. The customizable pie menu allows you to display 4, 6, or 8 app icons, enhancing accessibility for your most-used applications. Designed for efficiency, it allows users to tap and type for less frequently used apps and aids in launching favorites using muscle memory. Explore the open-source project at GitHub.

App summary

Tap and hold to open the pie menu. Then swipe to choose an app to start.

Or just tap and type the name of an app you don't use frequently.

Long press an app in the listing of apps to enter the editor for the pie menu. Use 4, 6 or 8 icons in the pie menu to make the most out of it.

Once you get used to it, you can launch your most frequently used apps using muscle memory without even looking.

Apps you don't use regularly are quickly available with just one tap and by typing the first one or two letters of the app name.

Great, esay to use, intuitive. The only thing for me and 5 star rating would be folders in the app draw

A very nice launcher, but there was user error. I installed this launcher looking for a more simplistic layout, but I proceeded to smoke the devils lettuce after the installation. I was doom scrolling on TikTok and decided to jump out of the loop. When touching home, I was greeted with no buttons, applications, or icons of any kind. I proceeded to stare at my screen, waiting for it to load, which to me felt as if it was only 10 seconds, but I actually stared at it for over 5 minutes. 10/10.

Love the launcher, would love to have the ability to add widgets (on top part of the screen), and maybe ability to force round icons, for icons that don't have a round icon.
