Zapstore _@zapstore.dev A minimal launcher with an always-visible scratchpad. Zero ads.
Republished from GitHub / F-Droid by the Zapstore main account.
**Your phone as a piece of paper.**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. **FEATURES:** - **Always-visible scratchpad:** Saved as you type, survives reboots, stored locally and excluded from Android backups. - **Light markdown:** Headings, bold, italic, underline, strikethrough, highlight, code, tappable links, lists and to-do checkboxes you can tick with a tap. - **Type to launch:** Swipe up, type a few letters, and the app opens as soon as there's one match. - **Sync as scratchpad.md:** Optionally mirror the scratchpad into a folder, such as an Obsidian vault. - **Minimal app list:** A handful of apps, no icons, no clutter. Rename, hide and align them. - **Gestures:** Double tap to lock screen. Swipe left or right to open apps. Swipe down for notifications or search. - **Readable:** Separate text sizes for the scratchpad and the launcher, dark and light themes. - **Privacy:** No data collection, no accounts, no tracking. FOSS, licensed GPLv3. - **Launcher features:** Dual apps, work profile and private space support. **Accessibility Service:** 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.This is a fork of [Olauncher](https://github.com/tanujnotes/Olauncher), a minimal ad-free launcher by tanujnotes, with the app grid cut down and a scratchpad put in its place.
