Ubuntu launcher is a custom android launcher build using Flutter with a Ubuntu-Gnome look. Though flutter is a cross platform UI framework, the launcher has android version only for now.Our launcher is only available on github and FDroid. Any update and release version will be available here.
This application is for those who want a simple, clean and fast launcher to use. Most of the launchers in the play store or any market place are full with nasted ui and the most annoying thing is their ads. As it is in an initial stage, I'm trying to add some extra features but not much fancy. At first, it was made for myself having simple look and customization. Then i decided to make it public.As it is a open source project anyone can use it and the code base is transparent so they can edit and customize it under the license.
