Feature Request: Location-Based "Smart Profiles" for ultimate context-awareness

Hi Niagara Team!

First off, I absolutely love the launcher—I’m a proud Niagara Pro user and it has completely changed how I use my phone. I have an idea for a new Pro feature that I think would take Niagara’s minimal, context-aware philosophy to the next level: Location-Based Profiles.

The idea is inspired by the "Sound Zones" feature in the Sennheiser Smart Control app, where settings automatically adjust based on your current location.

How it would work: Allow users to set up geographical "Zones" (e.g., Work, Home, Gym), called in the UX as ‘‘Profiles’’. When you enter a zone, Niagara automatically switches to a specific aesthetic Profile tailored to that environment.

Customization options per profile could include:

  • Different Wallpapers: e.g., A calm, distraction-free wallpaper for Work, and a vibrant one for Home.

  • Wallpaper Filters: A toggle to make the current wallpaper Black & White (I've attached mockups showing my setup in color vs. B&W) or inverted.

  • Icon & Text Colors: Automatically switching icon packs or text colors to match the vibe of the zone.

Why this fits Niagara: Niagara is all about giving us exactly what we need, when we need it. Having my phone automatically switch to a grayscale, distraction-free setup when I arrive at the office, and revert to full color when I leave, would be incredible for digital wellbeing.

I’ve attached a couple of screenshots to show how a colored vs. B&W profile might look in practice. Additionally, as a UX/UI designer, I am really passionate about this concept. If this is a feature the team is interested in exploring, I would love to offer my help to map out the UX user journey and design the interface for creating and managing these zones.

Thanks for considering, and keep up the amazing work!
