Car Launcher

What Car Launcher does

Car Launcher replaces a standard Android home screen with a dashboard-style interface for drivers using an Android head unit, tablet, or phone in the car. It brings frequently used apps, media controls, widgets, and vehicle-related information into one larger, easier-to-read layout. It suits drivers who want a more focused in-car screen than the default Android launcher provides.

Useful tools behind the main screen

• Trip computer: View current, average, and maximum speed, along with acceleration measurements for runs such as 0–60 and 0–150 km/h.
• Custom shortcuts: Arrange apps, folders, widgets, and screen layouts around the functions you use most often.
• Media controls: Control supported music players from the launcher and see playback information without moving between separate apps.
• Display options: Adjust themes, icon packs, brightness behavior, and screensavers for different driving conditions.
• Edge gestures: Swipe from the screen edge to access Android navigation actions such as Back, Home, and Recent Apps.

How it feels in the car

The interface is built around visibility and quick access rather than a conventional app grid. Large controls and prominent information can make common actions easier to find on a dashboard-mounted display. Customization also lets you keep the first screen simple or add more driving data and shortcuts as needed. Some options are more useful when the vehicle is parked, especially detailed layout changes and theme editing.
