# Introduction

### Why should I use Smart Launcher instead of my stock launcher?

Smart Launcher offers several benefits over the stock launcher that comes with your device. Here are some reasons why you might want to consider using Smart Launcher:

#### **Better app management**

Your apps are automatically organized by categories, you can hide those you don’t need and protect them with a PIN code.

#### **Better home management**

You can use popup widgets, or organize multiple widgets together with the Widget Stack. You can set up gestures to launch your apps. Finally, Smart Launcher includes powerful built-in widgets, that will make your home screen more useful and interesting.

#### **More customization**

You can resize and rearrange your icons and widgets on your home screen without limits. Use custom fonts, Icon Groups, blur effects, and themes to make your home screen unique.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.smartlauncher.net/faq/start-here/introduction.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
