NoveLauncher ranks and groups your apps from your real usage — what you open, when, and how often. All of it runs on your device. No account, no server, no analytics, no ads.
Free · No ads · No in-app purchases · Android 8.0+
A full-featured launcher whose intelligence never leaves your phone.
Apps ranked by recency, frequency, time of day and category. "Recommended now" also learns from which suggestions you actually tap — computed locally, every time.
Automatic grouping into 11 categories. No manual sorting, no dragging icons around.
Work apps with their badge and a pause switch. Android 15's Private Space gets its own lockable section — never mixed into suggestions.
Long-press an app for its own shortcuts — a new message, a saved route — right from the home screen.
Apps, contacts and settings in one box. Hebrew ↔ English matching, typo tolerance and initials, plus a calculator and unit conversion.
Hebrew date, holidays, candle-lighting and Havdalah times calculated on the phone. Shabbat mode hides distracting suggestions and badges.
Your photos or built-in gradients — one for all, per page, by hour, by weekday, or your live wallpaper — with colour and blur controls.
Swipe up for apps, swipe down for notifications, double-tap to turn the screen off.
12 colour presets, Material You, custom colours, 16 fonts and 12 icon shapes.
Apply any Nova, ADW or Lawnchair-compatible icon pack. Apps it doesn't cover keep their own icon.
PIN, password, pattern or biometric lock per app, plus a private folder and hidden apps.
Hebrew, English, Arabic, French, Russian, Spanish and German — fully right-to-left aware.
On the phone or on your own NAS — scheduled, and optionally password-encrypted.
Built-in sources plus any RSS feed you add yourself. The last stories stay readable when you're offline.
Screen time and per-app usage by day, week or month, read from Android on your device — never uploaded.
Real screenshots from the shipping build — not mockups.
Not a promise in a policy document — an architectural choice.
