*brute: make your homescreen yours

brute replaces your default home screen with something quieter. It's a minimal launcher that stays out of the way and puts what matters on one screen.

Your phone should look yours. Every theme is fully editable, and you can export your look and share it. Custom themes and premium supertiles are a one-time unlock. No subscriptions.

Features

Customisation. Fonts, colors, sizes, spacing, opacity, corner radius, blur. Save your look as a theme.

Widgets. Calendar, agenda, month view, weather, plus your system widgets, on the home screen (and more to come).

Supertiles. Live tiles for weather, clock, music, battery, calendar, steps and more. A few more are unlockable through in-app payments.

RSS reader. Follow any feed, with a clean full-article view and on-device translation - Your feed selection - no endless scroll.

Universal search. Apps, contacts, settings, the web on the same bar.

Weather. Free Open-Meteo forecasts. No API key or sign-up.

Quick toggles. Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, flashlight, airplane mode, from the home screen.

Well-being. Screen time per app, so you can build a home that helps you use the phone less. Black and white toggle. Features that help you use your apps less.

Your wallpaper. Use your photos with customisable day/night modes.

Gestures. Swipe up or down for actions you choose.
