Feature Request: More Gestures for the Pro Button
Hi Niagara Team, I have a small feature request for the Pro button. Currently, it only supports the Pull App gesture. It would be great if you could add more gesture directions, such as: Pull Up Pull Down Pull Left Pull Right Double Tap This would allow users to assign different apps or actions to each gesture, making the Pro button much more useful without affecting Niagara's clean design. Thanks for the amazing launcher!

Music widget
For the music widget to stop dropping favorite apps on home screen from view. When the music widget is activated it appears on the home screen and pushes favorites to drop out of view depending on the user setup; favorites closer to the bottom of the screen. Currently we have to swipe up to re-set the position to view the widget and favorites. If not, the favorite notifications appear out of view below the screen. This is also the effect when using the music widget with bigger size icons or text .

Frosted Blur
Would it be possible to add an optional frosted blur effect to the background for when the user is scrolling through the app list? Currently, it just dims the wallpaper, but maybe we could have the option to have it slightly blur too? Similarly, as some other posts have mentioned, so it matches the new Android 17 UI, would an optional frosted blur effect (or customizable background in general) background be possible for folders? I think the visual appeal and polish would go a long way. Thanks!

You should make the aesthetic color have a color wheel instead of having just preset colors

Quick launch apps from app drawer
A really useful way to launch apps is by them auto launching as you type in the app drawer. For example when you launch Brave you start typing Bra and you have no other apps with bra so it launches instantly when you type enough to single out that app. No need to finish typing or hit enter. Also a secondary request would be to quick launch specific apps for swiping left or right on the home screen.

I have to switch to Niagara launcher occassionally
The system switches to default phone launcher sometimes when I unlock the device and sometimes when I exit an application. Then I have to open the launcher from my home screen icon where I'll be asked to switch to Niagara launcher. But the default launcher will already be set as Niagara. I have tried uninstalling recent updates of Digital wellbeing and revoked all it's permissions, moreover I have allowed all accessibility options for Niagara. Please find me a solution for this

swiping an item in inbox (for notifications to hide/skip) scrolls the list to the bottom of the list.
Inbox virw contains all the notifications that Niagara app considers distracting and hides those inside this “inbox view”. Once I swipe any of the notification line, it disappears that line but the whole list scrolls down to the bottom. It's really inconvenient.

Familya Purchase
I liked yout app and using it more than a year. I want to install it to my son's Phone. Since he is still 10, it is better to use a minimalist interface to control his habits about the Phone. Maybe a purchase type which can be extended to google family members. Best regards

Hi, just a few suggestions. Is it possible to include an option where users can use app names only, and go icon free allowing the the app names to align directly under their respective letters? Also, can an option be included to adjust the size the letters under which the app names fall, or include an option to hide them like the alphabet?

Feature request: Categorized app index (left side)
Hi Niagara Team, I love the launcher, but finding apps when you don't remember their exact name can be tricky with just the A-Z alphabet scroll. I'd like to suggest adding a category index on the left side (e.g., Social, Games, Productivity, Utilities), alongside the existing A-Z alphabet on the right. This dual-index approach would make browsing much faster and more intuitive when you're searching by purpose rather than by name. Thanks for your great work!

Behavior on a clamshell Motorola Razr 50 ultra
When I start Niagara on the main screen, it starts and behaves perfectly. When I fold the phone start Niagara on the external screen it also runs as it is expected. (see screenshot) The problem occurs when I unfold it back, and on the main screen Niagara comes up little distorted: everything is moved way too far upwards (see screenshot).

Favorites will not update
Ive attempted to rearrange and remove certain apps from my favorites /shortcut list but only uninstalling them will remove them. Ive gone into settings and unchecked for example Spotify both on the fav list and down in the search bar area but once I hit DONE its still there. When I go back to my favorites editting page, it wont show on the top section but when I go searching for it under the alphabet it will be rechecked. Additionally when I try to sort favorites in the settings section, it will not save. The weird part is that when I re-open settings it will have my preferred order there. But it will not update on my actual interface.

Notification Summary list is empty since upgrade to Android 17
I have a Pixel 10 Pro and recently upgraded to Android 17. I find the notification summary feature to be the single most useful feature of Niagara Launcher and it has been completely broken since this update. Notifications are still suppressed as expected. However, the “Show Summary” button only shows an empty list when I click it. If I disable the Notification Summary feature, all the suppressed notifications are successfully un-suppressed. NB: I have put “don't know” in the Android version drop-down because 17 is not an option.

Weather data inaccuracy in China & request for customizable/custom API key support
Issue Summary The built-in weather forecast in Niagara Launcher is consistently inaccurate for locations in China, to the point where the feature is effectively unusable. I am requesting the ability to customize the weather data source, rather than relying solely on OpenWeather. Problem Details Data source: OpenWeather (as indicated by moderator Paul O'Malley) Affected region: China (multiple cities tested) Symptoms: Temperature readings frequently off by 5–10°C; weather conditions (rain/sunny/cloudy) often incorrect; forecasts unreliable for daily planning Impact: The weather widget and clock integration provide misleading information, forcing users to disable the feature or rely on third-party workarounds (e.g., MacroDroid redirects, external widgets) Why this matters Weather is a core feature advertised in Niagara Launcher ("integrated weather forecast to better plan your day"). For users in China, this feature does not deliver on that promise. A significant user base is affected, and the current "one-size-fits-all" approach assumes OpenWeather works equally well globally — which it does not. Proposed Solutions (in order of preference) 1. User-provided API key — Allow users to input their own API key for OpenWeather or other supported providers. Zero cost to Niagara; maximum flexibility for users. 2. Support for alternative free APIs — Integrate Open-Meteo (completely free, no API key required, high-resolution global data, known to be more accurate in China). Other options: QWeather (China-focused, free tier available), Windy API. 3. Multiple provider fallback — If the primary source returns questionable data for a region, allow fallback to a secondary source. What I am NOT asking for I am not asking Niagara to pay for expensive commercial weather APIs I am not asking for a complete overhaul of the weather system I am not asking to remove the current OpenWeather integration I am simply asking for choice and configurability — a principle that aligns well with Niagara's philosophy of user customization. Willingness to help I am happy to: Provide side-by-side comparison screenshots of OpenWeather vs. local accurate forecasts Beta-test any alternative weather implementations Assist with Chinese-language documentation or user testing if needed Conclusion Please consider this a high-priority usability issue rather than a low-priority feature request. The weather feature is central to Niagara's value proposition, and making it actually work for Chinese users would significantly improve the product experience without requiring major architectural changes. Thank you for your time and for building an otherwise excellent launcher.
