Hi everyone!
I’m happy to share my app, Octopi Launcher, which I’ve worked on for quite a while now.
Octopi Launcher is a launcher for Android, built with the latest trends in mind, which includes visual and haptic effects, and support for foldables.
Features:
- App drawer, dock and homescreen
- Different homescreen for different screen layout/ orientation/ size/ foldable position
- Widgets and (autoscrolling) widget stacks
- Home screen folders
- Fine/ free positioning of home screen apps and widgets
- Big home screen icons
- Swipe actions for icons
- Display drawer items as icons or tiles (or single list); sort by installed date or updated date
- App search + instant launch
- Icon pack support
- Wallpaper blur when opening app drawer (on supported devices)
- Work profile support
- Fun animations, reflections and haptic effects

I’d love to hear your feedback below, and have a nice day!
Hey is there a way add the search bar into the dock below the icons as an option?
Also any way of getting the Google now slide left?
Really good app tho and enjoying using it
You can actually float/ pin a widget to make it behave like a dock.
As for the actual dock, that can be achieved too by creating a folder, changing it to grid mode, and resizing it to the size you want. You can then float/pin it too.
Google Now slide left won’t be planned soon as it requires Google not to change and break things in future, which is something I can’t control. As a work-around, you can assign the Google app to the gesture when you swipe right
