A home screen that respects your time.

My HomeScreen is a focused Android launcher with built-in essentials — calculator, notes, flashlight, QR scanner — plus a calm lock-screen feed and an instant search. No clutter. No noise. Just the apps you actually use.

Why we built it

Most launchers want your attention.
This one returns it.

We started with one rule: the home screen should never demand a tap you didn't intend. Everything else followed — a quiet drawer, an honest search, a lock screen that surfaces useful things instead of alerts. The result feels less like an OS layer and more like a well-organized desk.

Built on the open-source AOSP Launcher3 codebase, with our own additions for the things stock Android still gets wrong.

Features

Three pillars. No filler.

Everything in My HomeScreen earns its place. If it didn't make a phone faster to live with, we cut it.

Built-in essentials

Calculator, notes, flashlight, magnifier, QR scanner — pre-wired into the home screen. No third-party installs, no surprise ads inside utilities you opened for ten seconds.

  • Calculator with running history
  • Notes with on-device drafts
  • Flashlight, magnifier, QR scanner

A calm lock screen

A clean clock, a quiet feed of one-minute reads, and an instant search that opens the moment you swipe up. No banners, no notifications begging for taps.

  • One-minute reading cards
  • Direct-to-search swipe
  • Stays out of the way at night

Search that just works

One field, every answer. Apps, contacts, system settings, and the web — ranked by what you actually open. Voice input where you'd expect it, results in the language you set.

  • Apps, settings, web in one bar
  • Smart ranking that learns offline
  • Voice input on every keyboard

Set it up in a minute.
Forget about it after that.

Free, no account, nothing to subscribe to. Make it your default home and the things you do every day get a little quieter.

FAQ

Common questions

Will this replace my current launcher?

Yes. After you install it, Android offers to set My HomeScreen as your default home app. You can switch back from system settings at any time — nothing is locked in.

Do I need to grant any permissions?

None at install time. The optional permissions for things like QR scanning (camera) or weather (location) are requested only if and when you use those features.

Does it sell my data?

No. We don't sell or share personal information with data brokers. The app uses ad placements to stay free; those are served through standard Google AdMob and follow the same privacy controls as any other AdMob-based app.

Can I keep using my current widgets?

Yes. Any standard Android home-screen widget works. Long-press on an empty space to add or rearrange them.

Is it open source?

The launcher is built on the open-source AOSP Launcher3 lineage. Our additions and brand assets aren't published, but the core you're holding is the same code that powers most stock Android launchers.
