UPDATE: I NO longer recommend due to a TOS inconsistency issue that involves possible sharing of data with third parties that someone pointed out in the comments.

I emailed the creator but since he hasn’t responded after 5+ days I’m going to assume he dodged my question. Until I get an answer that ensures privacy from him I can’t recommend. I will say though that I have a firewall and I’ve never seen the launcher connect to the internet to upload or download anything. I did block it from internet (this is after it wasn’t block and still wasn’t using internet) so I will still use it for now until I find a launcher that I like.

This isn’t a privacy group but I figured I should mention, as I am keen on privacy, and don’t want to recommend potential privacy threats

ORIGINAL: I’ve been using this launcher for a few months now and it is good if you want to focus only on the use of the phone not the overuse. Text only no icons but has a compable gesture systems and simple but useful functionality.

Definitely not for everyone but some may find it perfect

    Mismatches like this aren’t hard to find. It is why I always defer to the privacy agreement for details.

    Marketing privacy and security is easy. Delivering on it with legal commitments is difficult.

      I’ve never saw the app use internet through my firewall. That was without a block but I blocked it just in case some future attempt was made
