Nova Launcher APK

Nova Launcher is a highly flexible home screen replacement that lets you redesign your Android experience without losing usability. It includes a wide set of advanced options, yet it’s still easy to learn and pleasant for everyday use. Whether you want a full home screen makeover or simply a cleaner, faster launcher, Nova is a solid choice. It also brings modern Android launcher features to other devices, and you can use Material You colors from your system—or set your own palette for a look that feels truly personal.

A simple swipe to get going

Nova Launcher isn’t packed with pointless extras—each feature is meant to be practical. For example, you can organize apps into subgrids on the Home screen so everything is easier to place and browse. Scrolling is improved not only on the Home screen, but across other areas too. You also get themes and widgets to help you build the layout you want.

Nova Launcher Prime: gestures and faster control

The Prime edition adds extra features, with gestures being the highlight. On your Home screen you can set actions like swiping, double-tapping, or pinching to trigger custom commands. You can even make apps perform specific actions when you swipe over their icons. In practice, Prime supports the idea of a “world at your fingertips,” because it dramatically reduces how often you need to visit the app drawer.

There’s a small tradeoff with one of Nova’s other capabilities: you can hide unused apps from the drawer and keep it organized. Even so, having that option available is still useful for many people.

Features

Change nearly everything about your home screen

With Nova Launcher, you can adjust your Home screen in many ways:

• Pick from themes and icon packs to match your style.
• Create folders and tune the grid size to fit more icons and widgets.
• Customize the dock at the bottom—supporting up to 7 icons.

Keep the app drawer for quick access

Unlike some launchers that remove the app drawer, Nova Launcher keeps it available. That means you can place your most-used apps on the Home screen, while still having a full list of installed apps in the drawer. In the drawer, you can also set shortcuts for:

• your most frequently used apps



• recently installed apps
• recently opened apps

Set smart gestures to save time

Nova Launcher supports customizable gestures. You can map different actions to different gestures, such as:

• Swipe up to open the app drawer
• Double-tap to lock the screen

Some gesture features are available only in the paid Prime version.

Back up your layout and settings

If you switch devices often, Nova Launcher makes it easier to move your setup. You can export your settings and restore them on a new device without losing details. This includes:

• grid configuration
• gesture assignments
• other custom options

If an app isn’t installed on the new phone yet, it will show up as an empty icon until you reinstall it.

Search bar and flexible widgets

• A built-in search bar lets you search through Google without opening separate apps or a browser.
• You can add widgets to your desktop and adjust their size and display information as needed.

Upgrade (Nova Launcher Prime)

• Focus on gestures: Use swipe, pinch, and double-tap on the Home screen to trigger custom commands—fast and convenient in Nova Launcher Prime.
• Organized app drawer tabs/folders: Create custom tabs or folders inside the App Drawer for better order. Instead of scrolling through every page, you can open the app directly from a previously saved Google folder.
• Hide apps in the drawer: Remove apps from the App Drawer without uninstalling them.
• Assign gestures: Optionally attach swipe/drag gestures to icons or folders on the Home screen, or to common actions—so you can repeat tasks quickly.
• More scrolling and status options: Additional scrolling effects, unread counts, and other extra enhancements.

Conclusion

Nova Launcher is a practical Android launcher built to replace the standard, “basic” interface with a more customizable one. You can change the Home screen grid (including the size and number of elements), experiment with colors for folders, icons, and tabs, and apply effects while swiping or scrolling between pages. It also lets you customize typography (fonts), adjust widget sizes, and much more. The developers actively respond to feedback, fix bugs and errors, and continue updating Nova Launcher Prime with new functionality.
