Unbolt Home
The next-gen launcher with all the best features in one. One UI feel, Nova depth, Hyperion polish, Lawnchair openness. Free, open, no ads, no telemetry.
// why it exists
4x6 grid, vertical app drawer, squircle icons, One UI folder rhythm and a clean dock. Familiar on day one.
Gestures, dock pages, nested folders, icon swipe actions, backup/restore, hidden apps and notification badges.
Change the seed in PolyQon and the launcher accent, icon shape and theme follow. No PolyQon? Nothing breaks.
// what is in it
A first-class Samsung-style layout and motion, not a Pixel launcher with a theme on top.
Simple by default, advanced when you ask. Presets for One UI, Pixel and Nova power users.
Separate inner and outer layouts, hinge-aware grids, tablet dock and DeX-friendly spacing.
No ads, no trackers, no account. Built on Lawnchair/Launcher3; the combined work stays GPL-3.0.
The PolyQon module works standalone. If Unbolt Home is installed, it also re-applies the theme on resume.
Layout, folders, gestures, icon pack and per-device overrides in one file. Move phones without starting over.
// polyqon sync
Unbolt Home reads PolyQon's palette from a read-only provider at content://com.polyqon.app.theme/theme. Change the seed in PolyQon and the launcher follows. If PolyQon is not installed, the launcher keeps your manual theme and nothing breaks.
The optional PolyQon Xposed module is standalone: it keeps working with SystemUI and One UI even if you never install a launcher. If Unbolt Home is present, the module binds to its public bridge and re-applies the theme on resume — persistence without process-killer hacks.
// roadmap
- Now: One UI preset, vertical drawer, PolyQon sync, 30 MB R8 release APK, custom icon, always-visible page indicator, six-section settings, optional Xposed bridge.
- Next: folder popup polish, widget styling, Samsung-like typography, per-ABI release splits.
- Then: nested folders, dock width/spread, widget overlap depth, APK export, Nova backup import.
