Inline Widgets – The Next Dimension of the Niagara Scroll
Niagara Launcher revolutionized Android navigation with its flawless vertical scroll. My proposal takes this ergonomic masterpiece to the next level: allowing users to embed Widgets directly inside the A-Z app list, nesting them right between applications. Why this is a game-changer for Workflow & Customization: From App Drawer to Dynamic Dashboard: Imagine scrolling to "C" and finding your agenda widget right below the Calendar app, or sliding down to "S" and having your Spotify controls ready to go. Instant information, exactly where you expect it. Zero-Friction Efficiency: No extra taps or hidden swipes. You get vital data and quick controls with a single, natural thumb movement, without ever breaking your scrolling flow. Limitless Customization: Users could craft totally unique setups, breaking up the text-heavy list with beautiful, functional visual blocks. All of this happens without sacrificing Niagara's signature minimalism, as the main home screen stays spotless—the widgets only live when you intentionally "explore" the list. In short: Inline Widgets would transform your iconic scroll from a simple app directory into a custom-tailored productivity feed. Let's make the Niagara scroll even more powerful!

Agenda calendar not showing all events
I have multiple calendars attached to my google calendar account. When I toggle specific calendars to appear in the agenda section, only a few items show up, not everything that was toggeled to appear. I have restarted the app, restarted my phone, cleared cashe. I think this is a bug. Would be nice to have fixed so the agenda feature would be more reliable. I depend on my calendar, so a little disappointed that I paid for the full version so fast because I might have to go back to the default samsung screen and use the original widget that I have been using before.

Conditional Widgets (like with music apps currently)
Display widgets conditionally depending on a state like being connected to a specific bluetooth device, being connected to a specific WiFi etc. It would be nice to display widgets for headphones (giving status info) but only if these headphones are connected, otherwise these widgets are often blank and therefore ugly and useless. This ofc extends to many other usecases, headphones is just the one I was thinking of.

Option to always hide status bar
I would like to suggest an improvement to the status bar hiding feature. Currently, this option only works while on the home screen, but it stops applying when opening other apps. It would be very useful to have an option to keep the status bar permanently hidden across the entire system, regardless of which app is being used. This would provide a more immersive experience and, in my particular case, improve compatibility with a third-party custom control panel I use, avoiding conflicts between the two. Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Scrolling wallpaper
It's simply that wallpapers should move slightly when scrolling instead of being purely static in the background. Just a slight movement or pulse to match the movement of the screen

Sorting within a folder.
I am a noob but when you have a bunch of apps within a folder, manually sorting them is a pain. I can't seem to be able to scroll past the first screen of apps without it exiting the folder to the alphabetic list, when I'm trying to move the last entry higher in the list. Besides manual sorting, I would like the ability to sort alphabetically or by usage within a folder.

Niagara Button (Requestion additional swipe gestures)
Hi Team, first of all i just want to say, good job on creating such an awesome and usefull tool, im enjoying using it so far! I’m a new user to the world of Android launchers, and I’ve found Niagara’s minimalist approach incredibly refreshing. However, as I’ve integrated it into my daily workflow, I’ve run into a bit of a hurdle that I believe many others might share. While I love the clean aesthetic of having only 8 favorites on my screen, I find myself constantly needing quick access to more than just those core apps, things like translation tools, email for verification codes, or search functions. Constantly jumping into the alphabet scroll or search bar for these frequent "utility" tasks starts to defeat the purpose of the launcher's speed and efficiency. I’ve found the Niagara Button to be a brilliant solution, but its current limitation of only two assignments (tap and swipe) feels a bit restrictive. It would be much more convenient if the button could support more actions, perhaps up to five different apps or shortcuts. I would like to ask if it will be possible to expand the Niagara Button’s functionality in a future update? This could be implemented through adding additional Swipe gestures like swipe up, down, and left/right to trigger different apps, along with the "tap/press" option (that's already an existing feature) This change would allow users, like myself, to maintain a strictly minimalist home screen while still having "instant access" to a wider range of essential tools. Not sure if I'm the only one who had this issue, but it would be a really helpful feature to have in future updates. Thank you for the incredible work you’ve done on the launcher so far, i am enjoying using the app so far. I look forward to seeing how the app continues to evolve!

Move date/clock higher
For some reason, I cannot move my date/clock higher on the screen. On my Titan Pocket, which is a small phone to begin with, there remains 0.5cm of dead space between the date and the notification bar at the top. I would like to be able to move the clock up close to the navigation bar so that fewer apps on the favourites page don’t disappear below the bottom edge of the screen.

Increase Widget Limit for Premium Users
Hi team, I’ve been a premium user for quite a while now and I genuinely love the experience Niagara offers. It’s minimal, smooth, and distraction-free — exactly what I need. The only thing I feel limited by is the number of widgets allowed on the home screen. I rely heavily on widgets to track habits, daily tasks, and overall productivity, and the current limit sometimes makes it hard to set things up the way I’d like. It would be amazing if the widget limit could be increased in a future update, especially for premium users. I think it would really enhance the productivity aspect without affecting the minimalist vibe. Thanks for the great work 🙌

Lag when returning to home screen from apps (OnePlus Nord 4)
Device: OnePlus Nord 4 Android Version: 16 Using Niagra Free version Description: When I open apps from Niagara Launcher, they work normally. However, when I return to the home screen, there is a noticeable delay/lag before the launcher becomes responsive. The transition back to the home screen is not smooth and feels slightly delayed compared to expected behavior. Steps to Reproduce: Set Niagara Launcher as default launcher Open any app (e.g., WhatsApp or Outlook) Press Home button / use gesture to return Observe delay in launcher loading Expected Behavior: Home screen should appear instantly and smoothly without lag. Actual Behavior: There is a delay or stutter before the home screen becomes responsive. Frequency: Happens consistently Additional Notes: Issue happens mainly after exiting apps Not sure if related to system optimization or background restrictions Feels like launcher reload or redraw delay

Use Widget instead of clock

Since the alphabet strip works immediately with Latin and Cyrillic alphabets (that is, when you click on the symbol of any Latin letter, applications with the corresponding names in Cyrillic are also displayed), please make sure that the letters Latin/Cyrillic are duplicated in the alphabetical index through a slash. If the Cyrillic language is enabled for display. Or a separate checkbox in the settings
