MinimalSF

MinimalSF is a minimal launcher built for one thing: speed. Type a letter or two and your app is already open, often before you finish the name. No icon hunting, no clutter, just a black & white home screen that gets out of your way. The whole app is under 1 MB.

Type to launch

• Keyboard is ready the moment you're home
• One match opens by itself, with a delay you set (down to 0ms)
• Several matches are numbered: type w2 to open the 2nd result for w
• Enter opens the top result; results are ranked by best match
• Custom keywords per app (wa for WhatsApp), optionally replacing the app's name in search, and hide apps from search

Gestures

• Double tap, long press and swipes in four directions
• Open an app (search for it by name), call a contact, run a shortcut or open a specific app screen
• Flashlight, camera, music controls, lock screen, notifications, quick settings
• Saves "add to home screen" shortcuts from other apps, including Activity Launcher

Home screen

• Show only what you want: hide the clock, date, screen time, music bar, todo list or buttons
• Large clock (tap for alarms) and date, with optional screen time and RAM use
• Optional now playing bar: tap to play/pause, swipe to skip
• Inline todo list: mark tasks important, undo a removal, long press to edit
• Landscape layout for full and floating keyboards
• All apps as a list, a list without icons, or a grid, with an optional A-Z scrubber; includes work profile and dual apps

Make it yours

• Fonts: monospace, clean, your phone's font, free Google Fonts, or import a .ttf/.otf, plus bold
• Font and clock size, 12/24h clock, search bar at the top or bottom

Want more?

• The optional MinimalSF Extended plugin adds open in freeform, force stop, clear cache or data and freeze to the long press menu (through Shizuku or root)
• It also brings extras that stay out of the launcher itself: coloured icons, a hidden search bar, turning off auto-launch, and choosing what the long press menu shows
• Without it, MinimalSF stays exactly as it is

Private

• No internet permission, no ads, no analytics, no tracking
• Everything stays on your device

Optional features need permissions you grant yourself: accessibility (only to lock the screen), notification access (now playing bar) and usage access (screen time). Font downloads use Google Play services when it's installed.
