Message by typing a name
@sarah running ten late picks Sarah, picks the app, and the words after her name are the message.
A minimal launcher for the Clicks Communicator.
The Clicks Communicator puts a proper keyboard on a phone built for messaging. Keyboard Launcher Pro is a home screen made for exactly that kind of phone: you type, it acts.
Made for a messaging phone
The Communicator is a second phone for people who want less noise, and a minimal launcher suits it. There are no feeds or icon badges on home, just the people and plans you type for. The Communicator on Clicks' own site.
The Communicator is designed around conversations, and so is Keyboard Launcher Pro. Type @ and a name and you choose who to message and on which app, then the rest of the line is the message.
The Hub collects every message into one place, and a chat opens as a conversation you can answer straight away.
To be straight with you: the Communicator was not out when this page was written, so the launcher has not been tested on one yet. It is built for keyboard phones in general and it works on ordinary touchscreen phones too, so it should be at home there. If you try it, I would love to hear how it goes on the Discord.
Every conversation in one place
Messages, email and social sit in their own tabs in the Hub. Tap a chat to see it as a conversation and reply.
Write it down without stopping
A - makes a to-do and a ! makes a note, so a thought mid conversation is saved in a second.
Tiles for your favourite chats
A home tile or a held letter can open a WhatsApp chat or any app shortcut, so the people you message most are one key away.
Eight symbols on the Clicks Communicator
Each one sends a typed line somewhere different. The full list, with examples.

Clicks Communicator questions
Has it been tested on the Clicks Communicator?
Not yet, because the phone was not out when this page was written. It is built and tested on the Unihertz Titan 2 Elite and works on ordinary Android phones too.
Does it work with any messaging app?
Yes. @ finds people through the messaging apps already on your phone, and you choose which one a message goes through.
Can I reply to messages without opening the app?
Yes, from the Hub, for any app whose notifications offer a reply.
Is it on Google Play?
Yes, on Google Play. You pay once and updates are free.
