Most Android launchers are just forks of AOSP’s Launcher3. I wanted to try something different—building from scratch while welcoming new developers and applying solid coding principles and best practices to keep the project alive for the long run. Open-source Launcher3 forks often end up abandoned because of their complexity, making it tough for newcomers to contribute. And, not gonna lie… a lot of them are still written in Java and rely on legacy APIs.
Meanwhile, many closed-source launchers are starting to get greedy—locking features behind paywalls and sneaking in trackers. My goal is to give everyone the joy of using powerful features without compromising privacy.



— Yo, comrade, which launcher are you using?
— Eblan.
— ???, I just asked a question.
— The launcher is Eblan.
— Ohh!
