A clean, customizable home launcher — fast search for any app or contact.
Aakar is a polished, fully customizable home launcher for Android. It’s built to fit a wide range of people — from grandparents who need huge text and big icons, to power users who want a compact, keyboard-driven workflow on the same phone. Three home styles, one app • Standard mode — clock + favorites + swipe-up app drawer, the way most launchers feel. • Keyboard mode — pinned grid at the top, an always-on QWERTY keyboard at the bottom. Type any app or contact instantly, no opening a search bar first. • Minimalist mode — Text only, distraction free, focused mode. Switch between them at any time with a long-press on home — no reinstall, no fuss. Pin what matters, where it matters • Pin apps AND contacts — contact tiles show the photo and tap-to-call. • "Auto arrange" sorts everything A→Z and packs it to thumb height in one tap. • Drop a tile on the top of the screen to remove it from home, or to uninstall the app (with a confirmation that names the app, so a missed tap doesn't blow anything up). Universal search • Type the first few letters of an app name OR its package name — "chrome" finds Chrome even when the system label is weird. • Contact search happens entirely on your device, never leaves your phone. Picks up multi-number contacts with picker for Mobile/Home/Work. • If nothing matches, "Search on Google" is a tap away. Customization that actually customizes • Live density (compact / cozy / roomy) — affects icon size, grid columns, and the QWERTY keyboard together. • Material 3 light / dark / system, plus seven accent colors and a corner-radius slider. • Five carefully chosen fonts (Inter, Outfit, Nunito, Manrope, Atkinson Hyperlegible — the last picked for low-vision readability). • Notification badges — opt-in via a permission you can revoke any time. aakar only reads the count per app, never the contents. • Translucent or solid clock background, manual text color, optional Nepali (BS) date alongside the Gregorian one. • Icon-only mode if you prefer the home screen without labels. Privacy by design • No accounts, no sign-in, no cloud. • Contacts stay on your phone — never uploaded. • Notification badges only count notifications; they never read content. • No analytics, no crash reporting, no tracking SDKs. Built for Nepal-and-anywhere • Optional Bikram Sambat date display. • Friendly with Samsung's One UI, stock Android, and most OEM skins. • Designed in Kathmandu. Free and open about how it works.
