As you might already know, we have a Telegram group for this launcher. Someone has brought up the idea to create a Matrix roomΒ as well. I'd like to know if more people are interested in this, so I created a poll. I would appreciate it if you could take a second of your time to answer it. (Regardless of the result, the Telegram group will continue to exists and I would try to setup a bridge between Telegram and Matrix).

  • Advanced layout options: you can now configure the search bar position, the arrangement of search results and the gesture to open the search independently
  • Gestures: added configurable gestures including double tap to sleep[^1]
  • Added a hardcoded list of music players (namely, Tidal, Bandcamp, Qobuz and Plexamp) that were formerly not recognized as "music apps" and required the "Restrict to music apps" setting to be disabled in order to work with the music widget. Let me know if you use any other music apps that are not properly recognized, I will add them to the list.

  • Web search shortcuts have been replaced with quick actions:
    • quick actions are shown below the search bar and are shortcuts that take your search term and do something with it
    • type a phone number to call somebody, an email address to write an email or "10 min" to start a 10 minute timer
    • you can also add you own actions to search on websites or in apps [^1] or to launch custom Android intents.
    • Existing web search shortcuts will be migrated automatically
  • Minor improvements
  • Bugfixes

[^1] Searching in apps is an experimental feature because it doesn't work reliably (or at all) in some apps. I'm still debating whether to keep this feature or not. Feedback/opinions on this are welcome.
