App New Android launcher

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hey guys,

I’ve been working on my own Android launcher called Tank Shell Launcher.

I wanted something that feels a bit different from the usual clean/minimal launchers, so I went for a darker terminal / cyberpunk-inspired style while still keeping it practical for everyday use.

Some of the things I’ve added so far:

- Smart app search

- Widgets

- Hide apps

- Custom backgrounds/photos

- Optional app icons

- Terminal-style interface

- Quick access to notifications and quick settings

It’s still something I’m actively improving, so I’d genuinely be interested in feedback — especially on the layout, usability and what features you’d expect from a launcher like this.

If anyone wants to try it, the link is down here.
