Revolution Launcher is a marking menu based home screen for your Android Device.

What is a marking menu you ask? Basically, it is a circle of icons around a center point you navigate by using a swiping gesture from the center point toward the item you want to select. In the case of Revolution Launcher, you can also press the center button to open and close the menu, then press the icons like a traditional home screen.

Using your phone is now as simple as unlocking the screen, putting your thumb on the middle button, swiping towards a shortcut, and getting on with your life. No stretching to reach the upper corner for an icon, or repositioning your hand where you almost drop the phone you paid multiple hundreds of dollars for. Excuse the cheesy pun, but it is a genuinely revolutionary way to use a phone.

A more traditional grid lies underneath the marking menu gadget. The hybrid navigation of grid and gadget is where things really make a change in your digital life. For frequenly used apps and tasks, use the marking menu gadget. For not so frequenly used shortcuts, use the grid.

Of course if you wanted to go grid free, you can create up to 100 shortcuts on the gadget using sub menus. Each menu can have up to 10 shortcuts, however 6 to 8 is typically easier to use and remember.

App shortcuts are supported on both the grid and the gadget menu. Simply double tap (or double swipe on the gadget) any app icon to bring up that app's shortcut menu.

If you are unfamiliar with app shortcuts, some examples are messaging apps having your most recent conversations, browsers might have bookmarks or new tab options and so on.

Note: App shortcuts are only available on Android 9 and higher.

Switching to night mode is great for your eyes at night. Revolution Launcher themes have night modes that are also great for your eyes.

Wallpapers can be chosen separately for day and night, or choose one and it will dim when night mode is on.

A great deal of care has gone into making Revolution Launcher an app that will truly improve your digital life, and it is my hope that you enjoy the fruits of that labor.

Some behind the scenes work that won't be immediately obvious but will make a huge difference include:

Battery life improvement, even with all the animations on. Being coded from the ground up, code optimization and lack of third party libraries ensure the app uses as small a footprint as possible.

Unlike most other apps, Revolution Launcher doesn't use telemetry to document your every move, or store a bunch of log files that will slowly bring your phone to a crawl as it runs out of storage space. None of your data is transmitted outside of the app, and any data that is saved inside the app is done so without personal data.

Minimal permissions for a home screen app. There are no root calls or system configurations done from the app itself. If the system needs to perform a task, such as switching wallpaper, the system app to perform the task is used instead.

The app is translated into the world's top 10 spoken languages. It's also available on the Play Store in any country where Google Play is available.

Accessibility has been taken into consideration when creating every aspect of the app. If there's something you have trouble with, don't hesitate to suggest a better way you would prefer to use the app and it will be a top priority in developing future updates.

And much more that you will experience yourself.
