About Victoria Launcher
Victoria Launcher is a minimal, list-based Android home screen, and an open source alternative to Niagara Launcher. The home screen holds a short list of favorites and nothing you did not put there. Everything else lives in an alphabetical app list you reach by swiping in from the edge of the screen, with an A-Z strip for jumping straight to a letter. A clock and date widget is included and any other widget can be added. Favorites can be folders, or the apps you open most, kept for you. Layout, alignment, icon pack, icon and text size, spacing, font and colors are all adjustable, and the settings screen has a search box over the whole of it.
Privacy and F-Droid
F-Droid builds Victoria Launcher from its published source code and flags anti-features such as ads, tracking or reliance on non-free services.
