VL Launcher

VL is a minimalist Android launcher built to keep the home screen clear, the app drawer usable, the settings understandable, and the overall experience quiet. No ads. No tracking. No profiling. No built-in surveillance.

VL is built by an experienced software developer with more than twenty years in technology, software development, cybersecurity, and secure software. That experience shapes the project: fewer unnecessary dependencies, fewer third-party integrations, less exposure surface, and more local control on your device.

If your priority is privacy, clarity, and a calmer home screen, VL was built for that.

What VL offers

• Customizable home screen and app drawer layout • Two styles: Minimal and Classic • Search and optional app categories • Optional rectangular or circular clock, battery, and weather • Built-in online radio with curated music stations and lock screen playback • Gesture shortcuts • Light, dark, or system theme • Custom highlight color • Black-and-white icons and auto-generated wallpapers • Original, monochrome, and silhouette icon styles • Local generation of icon variants for installed apps • Export and import of settings

Privacy

• No user accounts • No ads • No subscriptions • No tracking • No profiling • No analytics SDKs • No advertising SDKs • No crash-reporting SDKs • No built-in surveillance

Icon variants are generated locally on your device. VL does not collect, send, or analyze your list of installed apps.

VL may be a good fit if you want: • A cleaner home screen • A launcher that stays fast and clear • Strong privacy principles • Customization without bloat • A paid app that does not try to monetize you again later

VL may not be for you if you want: • Heavy widget-driven setups • External icon packs • Endless animations and feature overload • Hundreds of advanced customization options • A launcher that tries to do absolutely everything • Ads in the middle of your drawer or on your home screen • Predatory subscriptions

VL is built around a simple idea: your launcher should serve you, not exploit you.
