# What is Smart Launcher and how is it different from stock launchers? Smart Launcher is a customizable Android launcher built around speed, clean organization, and flexible home screen design. Compared with many stock launchers, it gives you more control over how apps, widgets, and gestures work together. In practice, that usually means faster access to apps thanks to categories and search, better layout freedom with free-form widgets and Icon Groups, and a setup that can be tailored to different styles, from minimal to feature-rich. Smart Launcher is a strong fit if you want a cleaner daily workflow, easier one-handed navigation, or a home screen that feels more personal without sacrificing performance. --- # Agent Instructions: 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.
