Inline Widgets – The Next Dimension of the Niagara Scroll

Niagara Launcher revolutionized Android navigation with its flawless vertical scroll. My proposal takes this ergonomic masterpiece to the next level: allowing users to embed Widgets directly inside the A-Z app list, nesting them right between applications. Why this is a game-changer for Workflow & Customization: From App Drawer to Dynamic Dashboard: Imagine scrolling to "C" and finding your agenda widget right below the Calendar app, or sliding down to "S" and having your Spotify controls ready to go. Instant information, exactly where you expect it. Zero-Friction Efficiency: No extra taps or hidden swipes. You get vital data and quick controls with a single, natural thumb movement, without ever breaking your scrolling flow. Limitless Customization: Users could craft totally unique setups, breaking up the text-heavy list with beautiful, functional visual blocks. All of this happens without sacrificing Niagara's signature minimalism, as the main home screen stays spotless—the widgets only live when you intentionally "explore" the list. In short: Inline Widgets would transform your iconic scroll from a simple app directory into a custom-tailored productivity feed. Let's make the Niagara scroll even more powerful!

Conditional Widgets (like with music apps currently)

Display widgets conditionally depending on a state like being connected to a specific bluetooth device, being connected to a specific WiFi etc. It would be nice to display widgets for headphones (giving status info) but only if these headphones are connected, otherwise these widgets are often blank and therefore ugly and useless. This ofc extends to many other usecases, headphones is just the one I was thinking of.

Option to always hide status bar

I would like to suggest an improvement to the status bar hiding feature. Currently, this option only works while on the home screen, but it stops applying when opening other apps. It would be very useful to have an option to keep the status bar permanently hidden across the entire system, regardless of which app is being used. This would provide a more immersive experience and, in my particular case, improve compatibility with a third-party custom control panel I use, avoiding conflicts between the two. Thank you for considering this suggestion.

Scrolling wallpaper

It's simply that wallpapers should move slightly when scrolling instead of being purely static in the background. Just a slight movement or pulse to match the movement of the screen

Agenda calendar not showing all events

I have multiple calendars attached to my google calendar account. When I toggle specific calendars to appear in the agenda section, only a few items show up, not everything that was toggeled to appear. I have restarted the app, restarted my phone, cleared cashe. I think this is a bug. Would be nice to have fixed so the agenda feature would be more reliable. I depend on my calendar, so a little disappointed that I paid for the full version so fast because I might have to go back to the default samsung screen and use the original widget that I have been using before.

Use Widget instead of clock

I would find it nice to replace the clock with a widget by my own. So I could really costume completely how that clock looks like. (By the way, good work with the clock selection. There are already many good ones there)

Unable to Add Widgets to Home Screen/Favorites

Description A critical issue where the option to add or create widgets on the home screen/favorites list is either missing, non-functional, or results in no widget appearing after selection. This prevents the use of both Niagara’s built-in widget features (like the clock/calendar replacement) and third-party app widgets. System Information Android Version: Android 17 Beta Steps to Reproduce Long-press on the Niagara "Clock" or an empty area in the Favorites list. Select "Add custom widget" or navigate to Niagara Settings > Features > Favorites > Add widget. Select a widget from the list of available apps. Observe that the widget fails to appear on the home screen, or the configuration screen closes without placing the item. Expected Behavior After selecting a widget (and completing any necessary configuration prompts), the widget should appear at the top of the favorites list or replace the default Niagara clock. Actual Behavior The widget does not appear after selection. In some instances, the launcher returns to the home screen with no changes. The "Add widget" button may occasionally be unresponsive. Troubleshooting Already Attempted Restarted Niagara Launcher. Restarted the mobile device. Verified that "Niagara Launcher" has the "Display over other apps" permission enabled in system settings. Cleared the launcher's cache.

Sorting within a folder.

I am a noob but when you have a bunch of apps within a folder, manually sorting them is a pain. I can't seem to be able to scroll past the first screen of apps without it exiting the folder to the alphabetic list, when I'm trying to move the last entry higher in the list. Besides manual sorting, I would like the ability to sort alphabetically or by usage within a folder.

Move date/clock higher

For some reason, I cannot move my date/clock higher on the screen. On my Titan Pocket, which is a small phone to begin with, there remains 0.5cm of dead space between the date and the notification bar at the top. I would like to be able to move the clock up close to the navigation bar so that fewer apps on the favourites page don’t disappear below the bottom edge of the screen.

Increase Widget Limit for Premium Users

Hi team, I’ve been a premium user for quite a while now and I genuinely love the experience Niagara offers. It’s minimal, smooth, and distraction-free — exactly what I need. The only thing I feel limited by is the number of widgets allowed on the home screen. I rely heavily on widgets to track habits, daily tasks, and overall productivity, and the current limit sometimes makes it hard to set things up the way I’d like. It would be amazing if the widget limit could be increased in a future update, especially for premium users. I think it would really enhance the productivity aspect without affecting the minimalist vibe. Thanks for the great work 🙌

Hide apps in pop up folder

[Bug] Widget stack rotation stops at final widget instead of looping back to the first

Device Information: Device: Google Pixel 8 Pro Android Version: Android 17 Description Previously, widget stacks supported continuous rotation. When scrolling through a stack, reaching the last widget would automatically wrap around back to the first widget in a seamless loop. Currently, the stack behaves as a linear list with a hard stop. Once the user reaches the final widget in the stack, they are unable to continue scrolling forward to return to the start; instead, they must manually scroll backward through every widget to reach the first one again. Steps to Reproduce Create a widget stack with 3 or more widgets on the home screen. Swipe/scroll through the widgets until you reach the very last one in the stack. Attempt to swipe one more time to return to the first widget. Expected Behavior The stack should utilize infinite scrolling/wrapping. Swiping "forward" on the last widget should immediately display the first widget in the stack, allowing for continuous, one-directional rotation. Actual Behavior The stack hits a "wall" at the last widget. The user is forced to reverse their scroll direction and go back "one by one" to get to the beginning of the list. Additional Context Regression: This feature was previously working and appears to have broken in a recent update. Impact: This significantly slows down navigation for users with large widget stacks (4+ widgets), as it triples the number of swipes needed to find a specific widget.
