CClauncher vs Xearth
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...)
Xearth
Sets the screen background to an image of the Earth, as seen from your favorite vantage point in space, correctly shaded for the current position of the Sun. By default, xearth updates the displayed image every five minutes. The time between updates and many more parameters can be changed using several options.
