TeamCommented on Niagara launcher will revert back to default launcher randomlyThanks for the report! The usual cause for a launcher that will not stay set is a bug in Android's Digital Wellbeing, which drops the default home app for every third-party launcher. Disabling Digital Wellbeing or uninstalling its updates fixes it for most people, and both paths…Commented on Seperate by Apps CategoriesThanks for the suggestion! Folders that fill themselves by category are already collected here: Category / Automatic folders. That one is from our own team and names the hard part openly, which is how to reliably decide what counts as a game or a social app in the first place. Up…Commented on Niagra Button GesturesThanks for the suggestion! Swipe gestures on the Niagara Button are already collected in one of the board's most upvoted requests: More Gestures on Niagara Button (153 votes). Reaching apps or shortcuts with a swipe left and right is exactly what that post asks for. Upvoting it t…Commented on Niagara buttonThanks for the screenshot, that one makes it clear. The notice comes from GCash rather than from Niagara: finance and banking apps run their own security checks, and some of them refuse to start while any third-party accessibility service is switched on. Niagara's accessibility s…Commented on Enhanced shutdownThanks, that is a clear write-up. One thing that might already help today: the quick lock gesture is not limited to the alphabet on the right. A double tap on the screen's left side works too, so you can lock without reaching across. It is mentioned in Double Tap to Sleep. Why it…Commented on Incorrect Ukrainian translation for %s has have passedThanks for catching that, and for already suggesting the fix on Crowdin. That is exactly the right place: Niagara's translations are crowdsourced, so corrections go in through the Crowdin project and are picked up from there rather than being edited inside the app. Suggestions ar…Commented on Media Player "Widget" on the home screen has no function with Qobuz....Thanks for the report, and for adding the versions. Buttons that show their press animation but do nothing usually point at the media app's side: Niagara's widget drives Android's standard media session, and when an app doesn't implement those transport controls properly, the tap…Commented on Google CalendarThanks for the suggestion! There's a clear answer on this one: Google doesn't give other apps access to its reminders and tasks through Android's on-device calendar system, which is what Niagara reads. A separate online-only API exists, but it hasn't been updated since its releas…Commented on PiP doesn't work.Thanks for posting, and for coming back with what you found. Good to know the forced PiP button gets you there in the meantime. The behavior you hit first is one we're already tracking: leaving an app toward the home screen closes it instead of letting it fall back into Picture-i…Commented on PiP doesn't work.Thanks for posting, and for coming back with what you found. Good to know the forced PiP button gets you there in the meantime. The behavior you hit first is one we're already tracking: leaving an app toward the home screen closes it instead of letting it fall back into Picture-i…Commented on Notification Summary replays sounds when confirmed — S25 FE, Android 16, Niagara 1.16.30Thanks for the thorough write-up, the reproduction steps and the device details are exactly what we need. You also found the right older thread: Dismissing Notification Preview triggers notification sound is still In Review, and having the reports point at one place is what gets…Commented on Pin the widgets!Thanks for the suggestion! There's already a post for this one: Fixed Niagara Widget asks for exactly that, the clock and widget area staying fixed on screen while the favorites scroll underneath. Upvoting there is the best way to push it, since we go through requests roughly by…Commented on No abre las aplicaciones en 2do plano¡Gracias por reportarlo! Para poder reproducirlo nos falta un detalle: ¿desde dónde tocas la aplicación cuando no se abre? ¿Desde la lista de favoritos de la pantalla de inicio, desde la lista completa de aplicaciones, desde el widget de música, o desde la pantalla de recientes d…Commented on The phone option glitchThanks for the screenshot, it shows it clearly: "Phone" sits twice in your favorites. The first thing worth trying is restarting Niagara. In other reports of duplicated entries that cleared them, and they tend to turn up right after an app updated itself; some apps change the ide…Commented on Temperature wiget dissapearing until restartedThanks for the report! This sounds like the widget rendering issue we collect here: Widget disappears (In Review). In those reports the widget is still in place and only stops being drawn, until something makes the home screen redraw itself. Two things would tell us whether yours…Commented on Left side alphabetic scroll disabling optionThanks for the suggestion! The same option is already being tracked here: Alphabet scrolling options (left/right), which asks for a setting that lets the app list open only from the side the alphabet is on. Upvoting that post is the best way to push it, since we go through reques…Commented on Theme Color.Thanks for the report. This looks like the issue we already have confirmed and marked Planned: Theme color changes to 'automatic' when changing background image. A manually picked theme color falls back to "automatic" there as soon as the wallpaper changes, which also happens whe…Commented on Weather doesnt loadThanks for sending the error along. One thing stands out in it: the report comes from Niagara v1.16.3, released on April 23, 2026, while the current version is v1.16.30 from September 23. Updating in the Play Store is the sensible first step here, since five months of fixes sit b…Commented on App message notifications cannot be deleted.Thanks, the screenshot plus the detail that your notification shade is already empty makes this one clear. It is a known issue: notifications stop reacting to swiping, to "Ignore" and to the ✘ while they stay visible on the home screen and in the app pop-up. We collect it here: N…Commented on Google Calendar synchronisation problemGood chance this is Niagara's own event filter: with Pro you can pick which calendars feed the agenda, under Niagara Settings > Productivity > Calendar Agenda > Filter events. If one of your Google sub-calendars is unchecked there, its appointments stay hidden on the home screen…Commented on About fonts colourThanks for the suggestion! Picking your own text color, instead of only Dark, Light and wallpaper-based, is already tracked here: Custom app name / text color. It is the one collecting the votes among the color requests, and we work through requests roughly by upvotes, so a vote…Commented on Add KLWP as a trusted wallpaper to remove lag?Thanks for the detailed report, and for noticing the difference between the two. Niagara's own wallpaper dimming is drawn by Niagara itself, while the KLWP blur reacts to the exported screen variable described in KLWP/KWGT Integration, so the two don't take the same path and a la…Commented on AI Theme GerneratorSo the idea is to describe the look you want and have Niagara assemble wallpaper, icons, fonts and widgets into a finished theme. The closest neighbor on the board is AI for Anycons Generation, which only covers icons, so your post stands on its own. Naming which part you would m…Commented on Change Existing Favorite AppThanks, that is a clearly described use case. The same request is already collected here: App pop-ups: Swap pop-up's main app with one in the pop-up. The example there is a favorite game whose pop-up holds all the other games, which is exactly your messaging situation. Upvoting t…Commented on dear developer, maybe it's just my phone or idk if anyone have like this before. i think on android go edition specifically infinix smart 10, there's no notification dot setting. i havemany times check and re-check for this "dot notification" and yep there's nothing. so this pop up that lead me to allow this notification setting can't disappear. just 1. go to setting 2. klik productivity 3.instan reply. and there u are with pop up like that. if i turn off i can't reply by the icon apps. i still can reply just by slide right through the icen apps, it's very usefull but this pop up! i just want it disappear without turn off my instan replyThanks for the detailed steps, and the screenshot helps a lot. That banner is Niagara asking for Android's "notification dots" setting. It's what allows Niagara to show notification text next to your apps, and Android keeps it behind that oddly named toggle. The catch is that alm…Commented on Здравствуйте разработчики Niagara launcher!Спасибо, что написали! Эта проблема уже собирается здесь: Circle to Search not working. Там описан тот же случай: долгое нажатие кнопки «Домой» ничего не делает, когда лаунчер не системный. Лучшее, что можно сделать, это проголосовать за тот пост и подписаться на него. Мы разбира…Commented on Feature RequestThanks for posting, and for the screenshot. It already shows previous, pause and next on the media widget, so I want to be sure I read the first wish right: do you mean picking a track from the queue or playlist, or scrubbing inside the song that's playing? Spelling that out in t…Commented on I often misclick an app icon to it's left and end up searching that letter on the waterfall search bar. I think it would be more user friendly if the search only toggled on the right and miss clicks left just hit the app that is at that row levelWhat you're hitting is a real feature rather than a glitch: the left screen edge carries an invisible copy of the alphabet, so left-handed users can reach every app without stretching across the screen. That's also why a tap just left of an app name lands on the alphabet and jump…Commented on Add navigation swipeThanks for the screenshot, it shows the cause exactly: that dialog is your system saying full-screen gestures can't be used with a third-party launcher. Xiaomi built gesture navigation into their own system launcher and never opened it back up, so no third-party launcher can swit…Commented on Pixel VIP widget size is brokenThanks, this report has what we need. The crash half is already known: Resizing popup widget crash describes the same path (edit the pop-up, long press the widget, hit resize), reported on a different device back on 1.14.5. Upvoting there keeps the reports in one place and gets y…
