<p><b>Your phone as a piece of paper.</b></p><p>Scratchpad Launcher is a minimal Android home screen split in two: the top half is a plain text box that's always there, so you can write something down without opening any app. The bottom half is a small, fixed list of your most-used apps. Nothing else.</p><p><br><b>FEATURES:</b></p><ul><li><b>Always-visible scratchpad:</b> Saved as you type, survives reboots, stored locally and excluded from Android backups.</li><li><b>Light markdown:</b> Headings, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, highlight, code, tappable links, lists and to-do checkboxes you can tick with a tap.</li><li><b>Type to launch:</b> Swipe up, type a few letters, and the app opens as soon as there's one match.</li><li><b>Sync as scratchpad.md:</b> Optionally mirror the scratchpad into a folder, such as an Obsidian vault.</li><li><b>Minimal app list:</b> A handful of apps, no icons, no clutter. Rename, hide and align them.</li><li><b>Gestures:</b> Double tap to lock screen. Swipe left or right to open apps. Swipe down for notifications or search.</li><li><b>Readable:</b> Separate text sizes for the scratchpad and the launcher, dark and light themes.</li><li><b>Privacy:</b> No data collection, no accounts, no tracking. FOSS, licensed GPLv3.</li><li><b>Launcher features:</b> Dual apps, work profile and private space support.</li></ul><p><b>Accessibility Service:</b> Used exclusively to let you turn off your phone's screen with a double-tap gesture. It is optional, disabled by default, and doesn't collect or share any data.</p><p>This is a fork of <a href="https://github.com/tanujnotes/Olauncher">Olauncher</a>, a minimal ad-free launcher by tanujnotes, with the app grid cut down and a scratchpad put in its place.</p>
