Do you have an idea for Niagara Launcher?

Please read our article on feature requests before submitting your feature request.

A feature should be...

  • Simple · Easy to configure and easy to use. As few settings & toggles as possible.

  • Impactful · Either appealing for many or necessary for some.

  • Universal · Has to work everywhere: in every country, on all phones.

  • Independent · Doesn’t add complexity if it’s not being used.

We prioritize posts with higher numbers of upvotes. These are more likely to be reviewed and implemented.

Google Calendar

Please add support for displaying tasks in the calendar as well. Currently, it only syncs events.

Left side alphabetic scroll disabling option

I want to use blank space next to the app icon as a space to interact with my KLWP Using the whole blank space like a sidebar will solve a huge problem when using klwp with my niagara pro

Auto-Switch Themes on a Schedule (Focus, Night & Weekend Modes)

The Feature: Add the ability to automatically transition between themes based on a user-defined schedule (time of day and/or day of the week). ​How It Works: Users can select a primary theme and an alternate "Scheduled Theme" (e.g., setting a start/end time or selecting specific days like Monday–Friday). The launcher handles the switch silently in the background. ​Use Cases & Impact: ​Deep Focus: Automatically switch to a minimal, monochrome theme during working hours to reduce app distractions. ​Work/Life Balance: Revert to a vibrant, colorful theme on weekends and evenings when off the clock. ​Digital Wellbeing: Trigger an ultra-minimal theme (e.g., dark mode, hidden icons) late at night to help wind down before bed. ​Why this fits Niagara Launcher's core design principles: ​Simple: Requires only a basic time/day toggle under the existing Theme settings. No complex conditional rules required. ​Impactful: Directly enhances productivity and digital wellbeing—two primary reasons users choose minimal launchers like Niagara. ​Independent: If a user doesn't set a schedule, the launcher behaves exactly as it does today. It adds zero complexity to the everyday user experience if left disabled. ​Universal: Time-based scheduling relies on standard system clocks, working flawlessly across all devices and regions.

Add navigation swipe

Please, Niagara Launcher team, add swipe navigation. Because I use a Xiaomi phone, when I want to change to swipe navigation, it's not allowed, so I beg you to add that feature to your launcher 🙏 I'm also already subscribed hehe so... you can add new features

image preview in quick reply

when swiping right on a messaging app to quick reply instead of just saying “image” when an image has been sent, actually display a small version of the image. This would prevent having to open the messaging app to view the image and continue the conversation.

Niagara Widgets (at least for screen time)

I think it would be wonderful to have widgets that are themed for this specific layout. Since other app widgets look ugly when out into niagara, I think niagara should have widgets that are specific to the launcher similar to how we have custom icons. I beleive the screen time widget is a necessary and important widget that must included. A very essential missing feature.

Beautiful Design with Room for Improvement ⭐⭐⭐

Niagara Launcher offers a sleek, minimalist interface that makes Android feel fresh, organized, and intuitive. I appreciate the attention to detail and the effort behind its unique design. However, there are a few areas where I believe the experience could be improved. Battery Optimization: I've noticed what seems to be higher battery consumption than expected. Improving power efficiency would make the launcher even more appealing, especially for users who prioritize battery life. Built-in Utilities: I would love to see optional, lightweight tools such as a file manager, photo viewer, and multimedia player. Ideally, these could share Niagara's minimalist design language and provide a consistent user experience without adding unnecessary complexity. A Bigger Vision: Niagara already has a strong visual identity. With thoughtfully integrated utilities, it could evolve beyond a traditional launcher into a more complete Android environment, almost like a lightweight alternative Android experience. Of course, simplicity is Niagara's greatest strength, so any additional features should remain optional and modular. Overall, Niagara Launcher is a promising product with excellent design foundations. With better battery optimization and carefully selected functionality, it could become something truly exceptional. Keep the simplicity, improve the efficiency, and expand the possibilities! 🚀

allow swiping to app list. smoother swipe

It Would be awesome if swiping down to apps list instead of search was allowed. And the animation was removed for a faster response. Not sure how the search option would fit but maybe it can stay up waiting to be clicked or maybe a right/left swipe

Productivity request

Have there be a toggle in settings to hide all apps that have not been used in the past 3 months. I have so many apps that I don't want to delete but its creates quite a bit of clutter.

Allow customizing or theming system icons (Recently installed, Niagara settings, etc.) when using a third-party icon pack

I'm using a third-party icon pack in Niagara Launcher, and it applies well to my installed apps. However, the launcher's built-in icons don't follow the pack and can't be changed. These include Recently installed, Niagara settings, and the other icons in the "Niagara Launcher" section of the app list. They keep the default light-blue style, which clashes with the rest of my icons. Requested feature: Let the launcher's built-in icons follow the active icon pack (when the pack includes matching icons), or Add an option to manually pick or replace icons for these entries, or Add a toggle to apply the icon pack's style or tint to the built-in icons. Why it matters: Icon packs are meant to give a consistent look. Having a few icons that can't be themed breaks the visual consistency, especially in a minimal, dark setup like Niagara's. Current behavior: Built-in icons ignore the installed icon pack and have no customization option. Expected behavior: Built-in icons can be themed or changed, either automatically through the icon pack or manually in settings. Setup: Niagara Launcher with a third-party icon pack, dark wallpaper, Android. Thanks for the great launcher!

While using smart search, allow the ability to open the web suggestions in a specific app for eg. Google app and not just the default browser.

Alphabet Navigation

Please add an option to completely disable the Alphabet/Wave navigation. Even when it is hidden, accidentally touching the edge can still trigger it, especially when using the back gesture to return to the home screen. A simple “Disable Alphabet Navigation” option would make the launcher more comfortable and user-friendly.

Lock customization

My suggestion is quite simple and would be a way to customize the lock screen so that the typography, notifications, and lock clock all match the main screen customization.

Sorting in pop-up folders

I would like to have the ability to sort items within pop-up folders by criteria such as alphabetical order, date last used, or frequency of use.

Favorite Apps

I would like there to be a button to disable the favorites strip without losing the order in which they are hidden, if at any time I want to hide or unhide them. I would like there to be a button to disable the favorites strip without losing the order in which they are hidden, so that if I want to hide or unhide them at any time, I wouldn't lose their settings. As it is now, you have to uncheck your favorite apps to hide the entire app strip.

Flashlight off widget

Allow us to disable this feature. And any new feature should come with a toggle to turn it off!

Lock screen features

My idea is to add lock screen personalization where you can put the same clock and theme like on the home screen with the calendar battery date etc. I think this is also an essential feature.

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!
