Description

PaperLaunch is a side launcher. Tired of hopping back to your home screen to
launch that one app while you are inside another one? Have you used a side
launcher and

* are frustrated because you have to do multiple gestures to launch the app?
* activate it accidentally by touching the activation zone and immediately launch the app that happens to be on that spot?
* do you miss the ability to define a folder structure in that launcher?

Then PaperLaunch is the perfect side launcher for you. Try it!

PaperLaunch is open source! You can find it on GitHub.
