>_ Version 1.11, out now on Google Play
Keyboard Launcher Pro is a minimalist home screen with no app grid and nothing shouting for your attention. Start typing to open an app or find a person, or put a symbol first and it becomes a message, an event, a to-do or a note. Built for the Unihertz Titan 2 Elite.

Put a symbol in front of what you type and it goes where it belongs. No app to open first, no form to fill in. See every command.

>_ Minimal, not limited
Most minimalist launchers make your phone calmer by taking things away, then leave you hunting for the app you actually need. Keyboard Launcher Pro takes the clutter away and puts the keyboard in its place. There is no grid of icons, no badges glowing on every corner and no colour except one accent for the thing that matters right now.
Everything is still a few letters away. Two letters open an app, a name finds a person, and a symbol at the start of a line sends it to your calendar, your to-do list or a chat. Your day sits on one quiet screen: the time, the weather, your next event and your next to-do, in grey text on dark.
It is a minimal launcher built for keyboard phones, where typing is faster than tapping, and it works on ordinary touchscreen phones as well. If you are after the calm of a dumbphone without losing your apps, it does that too.
There is no grid of icons to swipe through. From the home screen, type a few letters of an app or a person and the match is at the top. Press Enter and you are in.
Names are matched from the start of a word, so wa finds WhatsApp and not something with wa in the middle of it.
The Hub gathers your notifications on one screen, sorted into Messages, Email, Social and the rest. Tap a chat and it opens as a conversation you can reply to without leaving home.
Hold a card to flag it, clear it or hide that app from the Hub for good. It keeps its history after you dismiss things elsewhere.
Events reads the calendars already on your phone, Google, Outlook or anything else that syncs, and shows a month you can tap through day by day, or a list of everything coming up.
Type * and a line like *lunch with Tom thursday 1pm and it is in your real calendar before you put the phone down.
Type ! and a thought on the home screen and it is saved as a note. Open Notes for the full editor, with bold, lists and checkboxes.
Private notes are encrypted on the phone and only open with your fingerprint or PIN.
A - in front of anything makes it a to-do, and a time in the line sets when it is due: -post the parcel tomorrow 10am.
Your next one sits on the home screen, so it is in front of you without opening anything.
Any widget from any app goes on its own page beside home, sized how you want it. When you add one, you see exactly how it will look first.
Home stays clean, and the weather, your inbox or your photos are one swipe away.
Light or dark, seven accent colours, nine typefaces and six backgrounds, or your own photo behind everything. Change one and the whole launcher follows.
The tiles on home can open an app, a built-in screen, an app shortcut, a WhatsApp chat or a website you added from Chrome. Pick from eighty hand-drawn icons, or use your own picture.
Hold a letter on home and it can open any of those too.
A large centred clock with the date and weather under it, in sizes from 80 to 120 per cent. Pick the date format, the brightness of the text and whether the clock takes your accent colour.
Turn on the cursor and the arrow keys walk the whole launcher: home, the Hub, notes, to-dos and events. Enter opens whatever the cursor is on.
It is off unless you want it, so a swipe across the keys still scrolls as it always has.
Swipe up for the app drawer. The rail down the side jumps to a letter, and typing searches the list you are looking at.

Nothing to sign up for and nothing to sign in to.

>_ Works with
Every screen is drawn for a square display and a hardware keyboard, right down to the strip beside the camera that most launchers leave empty.
Pay once on Google Play. Free updates, no account, nothing uploaded.
Yes. Home has no app grid and no icon wall, just grey text on a dark screen with one accent colour. Unlike most minimalist launchers it is built around a keyboard, so everything you took off the screen is still a few keystrokes away.
It is built and tested on the Unihertz Titan 2 Elite and runs on the Titan 2, and it is made for keyboard phones like the Clicks Communicator and Zinwa Q25. It works on ordinary touchscreen phones as well, with twelve tiles on tall screens.
On the Google Play Store. You pay once and every update after that is free and installs automatically.
No. You pay once. There are no ads, no in-app purchases and no account to make.
No. Your notes, to-dos, contacts, calendars and notifications are read on the phone and stay there. The only thing it fetches is the weather. The privacy policy has the detail.
English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Dutch, Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Turkish, Japanese, Korean and Chinese, and typed dates like tomorrow 3pm are read in each of them.
Only for three optional things: the Screen off tile, the swipe down for your notifications and the quick settings panel. It reads nothing on your screen and the launcher works fully without it.
Yes. Press home, choose your old launcher, and everything is as it was. Uninstalling removes it completely.
