Description
Slate is a minimal launcher built on one idea: you just launch apps. No widgets, news feeds, AI, or any other bloat.
Freescreen mode is the centerpiece: your home screen is a blank slate where icons live at any coordinate, not in a grid.
Pull guide lines from the screen edges when you want structure; icons snap to them and slide along them.
Prefer ordered rows? List mode gives you a vertical or horizontal scrolling list with drag-to-reorder.
Features:
* Freescreen: drag icons to any position, no grid
* Guide lines with snapping for optional structure
* List mode, vertical or horizontal, drag-to-reorder
* Work profile support: apps from Shelter/Island profiles show up badged
* Wallpapers: solid color, gradient (8 directions), or image, with auto-contrast text
* Toolbar snaps to any screen edge; custom or hidden title
* Per-app customization: icon size, shape (round, square, squircle, hexagon, octagon), rotation, labels
* Icon pack support (ADW, Nova, Apex, GO, Tesla formats)
* Blanket-set to restyle every icon at once
Everything is stored on-device. Free and open source under the MIT license.
What’s new (1.1)
1.1 is a QoL Bundle update.
- Search bar when adding apps so you can find one rather than scrolling past all of them.
- Guide patterns: In freescreen edit mode, tap a region and split it in half.
- Multi-select: Drag a box over empty canvas to select multiple icons and then set size, shape, rotation or labels for all of them at once.
- Settings now displays your current home app and a link to the system picker.
