CClauncher vs Senior Launcher
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
CClauncher
CCLauncher is a minimalist Android launcher designed to help reduce screen time and distractions due to all the apps present (like social media apps for example). Unlike traditional launchers, apps are hidden by default. Key Features: - Apps invisible by default (type to search) - Digital wellbeing tools (screen time tracking) - Double-tap to lock screen - Customizable gestures (swipe left/right/up/down shortcuts) - App renaming/hiding capabilities - Plain black/white wallpapers for focus - No ads, no tracking, no internet permission - 100% private Usage Tips: 1. Swipe up to search apps 2. Long press empty space for settings 3. Enable double-tap lock in Accessibility settings 4. Rename duplicate-named apps for easier launching This is a modern rewrite of Clauncher using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, maintaining most of the minimalism while improving functionality (and maybe performance...)
Senior Launcher
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.
