feature: use the app as a launcher - android
Using the app as a launcher could be helpful. App usage could be planned, like a digital well-being app. As shortcuts can be created in the app, the app is almost like a launcher.
That's so outrageous. I love it! 😂
There are so many "minimalistic" launchers on fdroid. This could be the best one.
On the other hand, I don't think I want my apps near me when I'm working and immerse myself in the process.
If that were to happen would it be possible to have it as a separate option? I'm fine with my current launcher and this app has been a blessing for my productivity

Yes, it will be optional.
It kind of already is. My personal opinion is there should only be a searchable list for some apps but, the shortcuts feature basically already is the launcher. No need for an extra suite of tools, just one more page with a (fast;)) searchable list
The much easier way here is to create a "widget" which can be embedded into some very minimalist launcher (such as KISS). You don't have to reimplement launcher features that way, just allow for the native embedding via the widget API. The only downside seems to be that the widget can't use much of the gestures besides vertical swipe/scroll. Normal touch controls work fine though.
I was thinking exactly the same. I would love to have this as a launcher.
Just add an app drawer (like the one on Kvaesitso) and a powerful search bar and thats all. You can use some gestures (since the app doesn't have gestures atm, you can just add it for the launcher features).
You don't even need to have it provide search, just add the home app property so you can swipe up to it, and then being able to assign (swipe) gestures to open different apps/to launch an assistant app, so you can launch or assign blue console / KISS as an assistant app to do searching, then this app doesn't have to concern itself so much with launcher design or search optimization.
Extras for launcher design would be then ability to rearrange the screen and/or add external wodgets to the screen to give it pretty much all the launcher ability you'd need.
I like all the ideas, either making it a launcher or providing widgets to access+use checklists. (personally I like my launcher though and so would slightly prefer widgets).
