Self-Promotion Launching Scribe, a unique handwriting-based Android launcher, that reinvents how we use our smartphones.

Hi, dear Android enthusiasts!

For months, I've been working on something unique different for the Android home screen and just published it to the Play Store.


The concept: no app-grid, no keyboard. You draw with your fingers to search and launch apps. This is a revolutionary and unique approach on how we interact with our phones. It's 100% offline, tracker-free, and free to use.

I invite you to give the trailer a watch, to see if this might be something for you.



Design philosophy:

Create a much more mindful use of your phone, with heathy natural friction requiring you to need an app to find it, versus dopamine-driven traditional launchers.
Encourages a completely different way to use a touchscreen, since you write with your fingers rather than tap on letters.
Minimal screen (no widgets, no clutter, no apps unless you pin 1 to 3 apps for quick access)
Drawing-first interaction (app drawer is backup, not primary)



Technical highlights:

Real-time ML Kit recognition, to let you control your phone with gestures. Draw "G" for Gmail, "M" for Maps, and so on.
A gesture area allows for quick notification drawer (pull down), full app drawer (pull up), or delete search, open first result, etc.
There is always a keyboard button in case you can't draw. And also a convenient voice search (speak the name of an app, and it'll launch the first match).
Predictive search is enabled by default (learns which apps you typically open after a search). It is entirely private, never leaves your phone and solely logs which app is opened after which character you drew.
Works 100% offline once models are downloaded, with zero tracking or ads.
Handles all sorts of symbols for various languages.
App Shortcuts are fully supported.
Lastly, the app drawer allows you to create folders, sort, have a hidden vault that prevents apps from showing up in search, etc.



This is v1.0 but has been really thoroughly tested. I'd love feedback from this community on features, performance, or gesture ideas! And, more importantly, I wish you a pleasant use if you decide to give it a go :)

Thank you!
