TeamCommented on Job profile applicationsThanks, this report has what we need to look into it: Black Shark 5 Pro, Android 12, Niagara 1.16.31, and the detail that the same work profile apps open fine from Microsoft Launcher. That last part is the most useful bit, since it makes it look like something on our side rather…Commented on Clock resetting on opening foldThanks for the report. Niagara's appearance settings reverting after folding or unfolding is a known one on Samsung foldables, and the clock style is part of it. The closest thread is Themes Not Saving (Z Fold 7) (In Review), where the clock reverts after a fold in the same way y…Commented on Allow customizing or theming system icons (Recently installed, Niagara settings, etc.) when using a third-party icon packThanks, and the screenshot makes it clear: your pack themes the app icons, while Niagara's own entries keep the default light blue and stand out from everything around them. The closest posts on the board are about the Niagara button rather than the app list entries: Niagra butto…Commented on Layout bugThanks for the screenshot, it shows the problem clearly: dismissing the notification removed it, but its text stayed drawn on the home screen over your YouTube and Spark rows, and tapping it does nothing. This is a known issue, collected here: Swipe to dismiss notification leaves…Commented on Productivity requestThanks for the suggestion! This one is already on the board: Hide apps in app list based on usage asks for exactly that, an automatic "hide every app not used in the last XX days". It has no votes yet, so yours would be the first one. We work through requests roughly by upvotes,…Commented on Lock customizationThanks for the suggestion! The honest answer is that a launcher can't reach the lock screen: Android keeps it under the system's control and doesn't let third-party apps replace or restyle it. That's an Android limit rather than a choice on our side, which is why Niagara's clock…Commented on Notifications don't workThanks, that is a thorough report. You have already been through everything in Notifications not showing, and 1.16.31 is the current version, so there is nothing left to update to either. One item from that article your list doesn't mention: if the status bar is hidden, Android h…Commented on Sorting in pop-up foldersThanks for the suggestion! Sorting inside pop-up folders is already collected here: Sort folder contents alphabetically, which is the thread with the most votes on it so far. Your exact set of criteria (alphabetical, last used, most used) is spelled out in Pop up folder sorting,…Commented on Samsung Members missing from Niagara app list/search on Galaxy S26 UltraThanks for the thorough report, the list of what you already ruled out helps a lot. One thing it doesn't cover yet: Niagara labels an app with the name the app reports about itself, which is sometimes not the name the Play Store or One UI Home shows. If Niagara has it as plain "M…Commented on Lock screen featuresThanks for the suggestion! This isn't something a launcher can do: Android only hands third-party launchers the home screen, and the lock screen stays with the system, so Niagara cannot put its clock, theme or the date/battery/weather bar there. It's an Android limit rather than…Commented on Favorite AppsThanks, that's a clear one: a switch that hides the favorites strip while keeping your selection and its order intact, instead of unchecking every favorite and setting them all up again afterwards. Related but not the same: Disappearing/Scheduled Favorites Feature asks for favori…Commented on Optimization?Thanks for the kind words, and for filling in the form so completely. To chase the battery side we need something more concrete than the summary screen: in Android's Settings > Battery, how many percent does Niagara show, and over what period? It also helps to know whether you ha…Commented on Problem with PiP on video streaming servicesThanks, that is a precise report. We are tracking this one here: Picture-in-Picture fails when returning to home screen (In Review). The pattern there matches yours: the app closes instead of entering PiP when you go home from Niagara, while it switches to PiP fine when you leave…Commented on Icon Pack and Color change by themselfsThanks for the report, and the screenshot makes it plain: the icons still carry your purple, while every app name and the folder header sit in that orange. You're not the only one seeing this. We have several reports of icon packs and the theme color resetting on their own, and n…Commented on While navigating the app-list, taps on the wallpaper are send through to wallpaper app (KLWP wallpaper shortcuts)Thanks, this report has everything we need to look into it: Asus Zenfone 9, Android 14, Niagara 1.16.30, a reproducible trigger, and a clear description of what should happen instead. I couldn't find another post describing taps reaching the wallpaper app from inside the app list…Commented on Enable calendar event dismissalThanks, that's a clear one: dismissing a single event from the agenda, rather than filtering a whole calendar. The closest thing today is the event filter in Niagara Pro: Niagara Settings > Productivity > Calendar Agenda > Filter events. It works per calendar, so the trick for th…Commented on Duoble tap to turn off the screenGood news: this exists, and with a lost power button it's exactly what you want. Two things decide whether it works. First, the gesture sits on the alphabet: double-tap on the alphabet strip, or on the left side of the screen, not in the middle of the home screen. The middle is d…Commented on Feature Request: Full Gesture NavigationThanks for the kind words! One clarification might solve this right away: which navigation mode your phone uses is an Android system setting, not something a launcher brings along. Niagara works with the full-screen gestures you describe, so switching your phone to gesture naviga…Commented on No multi widget addition allowed.Thanks for the suggestion! Both halves of this are already being tracked, so your votes do more over there. Two small widgets side by side instead of one per slide: Multi-Column Widget Support in Widget Stack. A second, separate widget area rather than one stack you swipe through…Commented on Analog clockThanks for the suggestion! An analog clock style is already requested here: Analog clock style. Upvoting that post is the best way to push it, since we work through requests roughly by upvotes, and you'll get the status updates there. You can put an analog clock on your home scre…Commented on Local File & Folder SearchThanks for the suggestion! This one is already tracked here: File and folder search in swipe up search, which asks for exactly what you describe, local files and folders in the swipe-up search next to apps and web results. Upvoting that post is the best way to push it, since we w…Commented on AlignmentThanks for the suggestion! A heads-up so it doesn't come as a surprise later: purely visual options (color, position, alignment, size) rarely make it into Niagara, because every extra toggle competes with keeping the launcher simple. The reasoning is in Missing customization feat…Commented on Custom Clock FontThanks for the kind words, and for going Pro! The clock itself ships as a set of handcrafted styles, so there is no font picker for it. What does get you any font today is replacing the clock with a widget: bottom of the all apps list > Niagara settings > Productivity > Add Custo…Commented on Flashlight is not workingThanks for reporting this, and sorry for the hassle. One detail makes your report worth a close look: since v1.16.28 (September 9) Niagara shows a reminder on the home screen when your flashlight is on, so the launcher does watch the flashlight state nowadays. Two answers would h…Commented on Option to select the number of "more used" apps in the listGood news: filling that empty space below your apps is already being worked on. The request is collected here: often used apps list too empty, and it is In Progress. Upvoting it is the best way to follow along, since you'll be notified when the status changes. If the part you spe…Commented 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…
