When it comes to launchers for Android devices, we are spoiled for choice. You have Nova, Pixel, Apex, Lawnchair, Microsoft Launcher, etc. Well, the list could go on and on. You may be familiar with all of these launchers and have even tried most of them. However, there are some launchers who most often fail to complete these lists. The reason? Well, it is because of their peculiar, interesting and rather strange functioning. To be frank, they don't have the plethora of features that the aforementioned launcher sees. Also, you may not be able to use them for more than a day or two. But they certainly deserve your attention, at least once. That said, here are some of the more interesting Android launchers. Also check out the top 10 Android launcher recommendations you should check out.1. Objective Launcher
This strange and interesting Android launcher actually has an important function – it shows all the apps installed on one screen. To do this, it was obviously necessary to reduce the form factor of each icon. And this is where the true power of the target launcher comes in handy. If you make a fluid gesture on these icons, this will give you a view from above. Providing visual distortion, it enlarges the part where you perform the gesture, or in other words, it gives a non-straight convex appearance.
You can further customize the lens in terms of icon size, distortion factor, scale factor, and animation time. Icon size changes icon size based on DPI. While the scale factor increases the size of the icons of all apps proportionately. As for the distortion factor, it refers to the amount of space to be generated from the center of the screen. Generating more space in the center will push the icons further to the corner. You can further customize this lightweight Android launcher by going to the Settings tab.
2. Peek Android Launcher
Another interesting Android launcher, Peek Launcher lets you launch apps via a completely different method. It provides you with a numeric keyboard and you need to type in the few characters of the app to launch it. For example, to open WhatsApp, just press 9 and 4 (with the corresponding W and H characters). This is how you can access any application.
Few apps are placed by default on your home screen. These include Chrome, Photos, YouTube, Play Store and others. To add another app to the home screen, long press the icon for that app and tap the Pin icon. Apart from that, it offers the option to uninstall an app or visit its Settings page. A minimalist but interesting Android launcher, however.
3. Android AIO Launcher
The list of the most interesting Android launchers ends with the AIO launcher. Its purpose is simple. To make you perform all tasks directly from the home screen. It has little bubbles for all the features. This includes accessing apps, opening a mailbox, managing notifications, setting up the timer, dial pad, accessing control panel features like WiFi, Bluetooth, brightness, volume, device settings, and much more.
All of these are placed directly on the single home screen. All you have to do is just tap on the app or the desired feature to use it. Another useful feature he sees is a universal search bar. For example, searching on WhatsApp will display the app itself, the Contacts page, the app setting, or a Google search. Definitely one of the most interesting Android launchers to check out.
