I recently switched to a phone with an e-ink display and was missing features in current minimal launchers, so i decided to make my own.

Would love to hear your opinion, improvements that could be made or features to change/add.

Thanks!

=== Current Features ===

    - Multiple rows of apps
    - Material Font icons can be set as app names
    - When reducing or increasing apps you can re-order and select which apps to keep (this is missing from a lot of minimal launchers imo)
    - App shortcuts (long press on an app to show that app's own shortcut menu)
    - Backup your launcher settings with Export/Import
    - App drawer list (swipe up)
    - You can hide apps from the app list
    - You can uninstall apps from the app list
    - App rows can have their size individually set.

=== Planned features ===

    - Background images or static colors
    - Show weather information
    - Screen time usage information
    - Possibly some limited widgets
        - google search bar on the bottom?      
        - Notes on the main screen  
    - App folders (so you can assign multiple apps to one slot)
    - Open files, URL's, etc from an app slot.
    - More gestures that you can assign actions to, like 3 finger swipe, triple tap, pinch zoom, etc.
    - Find contacts and files in the app list
    - Localization
