I was tired of launchers that look like airplane cockpits. I wanted one that just launches apps. So I made Quedalle — French slang for "absolutely nothing": Quedalle in useless widgets. Quedalle in flashy animations. Quedalle in endless menus. But also: Quedalle in ads. Quedalle in tracking. Quedalle in mandatory logins. Quedalle in paid features. Quedalle in internet permissions. Just a launcher. A tile grid. Your apps. That's it. TILES - App tiles — with live notification badge counts - Spacer tiles — colored blanks to structure your grid - Divider tiles — thin lines between tile groups CUSTOMIZATION - Drag and drop to reorder any tile - 12 color presets per tile, plus app-color and transparent - Inline app search PRIVACY - No internet permission - No analytics, cloud sync, or accounts - Open source under GPL-3.0

What does this app do? * It registers as app launcher (that means it is called when the phone boots and the home button is pressed). * It lets the user decide if they want to call someone or want to watch images. * It reads the contact list and displays all contacts that have an image and a phone number (only the first number is used!). * Every contact is displayed as a large button with the contact's image on it. * On click either a call to the contact is initialized or the SMS app is opened to show images sent via MMS * In image-mode the gallery can be opened * Calling the ambulance is added on top of the list in the call-screen. * Language: English and German. (911 and 112 for calling the ambulance is translated of course) Why is MMS used for images? * Because it is available everywhere and every phone has an app installed that can use it * Because it is the only way (that I found out) to direct the user right to the newest images I recommend the use of https://f-droid.org/packages/com.moez.QKSMS as a SMS/MMS app because it copies all images automatically to the gallery and because it's free.

Slate is a minimal text-only Android home screen built for focus. Most launchers want to keep you on your phone. Colourful icons trigger recognition without thought, notification badges create artificial urgency, and recommendation widgets are optimised for engagement, not intent. Slate removes all of that. Apps are presented as plain text, the same way a to-do list presents tasks. You open the app you meant to open, not the one that looked most appealing. APPEARANCE * Two homescreen layouts: Flow (apps wrap like text, sized by usage) or Minimal List (one app per line with optional alphabetical fast-scroll) * Fully customisable background and text colours with a live colour picker * Follow system theme: switches automatically with system dark mode * Apply background colour to the lockscreen for a uniform look * Per-app colour overrides to highlight what matters * Notification highlight: app names change colour when an app has a pending notification * Typography control: font family (Google Fonts plus import your own), weight, line spacing, word spacing * Font size scales with usage in Flow view INTERACTION * Swipe up to search apps * Configurable single-finger swipe gestures (any app, notifications, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, location, camera, more) * Double-tap to lock screen (via accessibility service) * Long-press an app to pin, hide, rename, recolour, uninstall, or move to a folder * Pin apps to the top regardless of sort order * Sort alphabetically or by most used * Custom folders: each folder is a text label with a marker (chevron, slash, bullet, brackets, count, or plain).

Opt in via Settings, with an in-memory PIN check on import PRIVACY Slate does not collect, transmit, or share any data. No analytics, no crash reporting, no network activity.
