Two letters and you are there
Type from home and the best match is first, apps and people together. Enter opens it.
A text launcher with no app grid.
Most of what you do on a phone starts with knowing what you want. Keyboard Launcher Pro is a text launcher that skips the grid and lets you just type it, whether your phone has real keys or a touchscreen.
Why type instead of tap
Finding an app in a grid means remembering where it lives. Typing two letters does not: ma is Maps, sp is Spotify, and the order stays the same every time because it matches the start of a name.
Keyboard Launcher Pro takes the idea further than a text launcher usually does. The same line that finds apps also finds people, and a symbol in front turns it into an action: a message, a call, an event, a to-do, a note, an alarm, a timer or a question for your assistant.
It is at its best on a keyboard phone, but it works on ordinary touchscreen phones too. On a tall screen you get twelve tiles on home, and tapping Start typing brings up your keyboard.
Typing is half of what makes it a minimal launcher; the other half is a home screen with nothing to tempt you.

Questions
Does it work on a phone without a keyboard?
Yes. Tap Start typing on home and your on-screen keyboard comes up. Tall phones get twelve tiles.
Can I still have app icons on the home screen?
Yes, as tiles. Each one can open an app, a shortcut, a chat or a website, with an icon you choose.
Is there a free trial?
Google Play does not offer trials for paid apps, but you can refund within Play's window if it is not for you.
