Left side alphabetic scroll disabling option

I want to use blank space next to the app icon as a space to interact with my KLWP Using the whole blank space like a sidebar will solve a huge problem when using klwp with my niagara pro

Add KLWP as a trusted wallpaper to remove lag?

I've been using Niagara launcher for a long time and today discovered the guide page on how to integrate KLWP, including blurring the wallpaper when the home screen is in the background. I'm encountering a 2-5s delay in the KLWP blur, while Niagara's native wallpaper dimming has no delay. I wonder if this is related to this Kustom post: https://docs.kustom.rocks/docs/developers/five_sec_delay/

Auto-Switch Themes on a Schedule (Focus, Night & Weekend Modes)

The Feature: Add the ability to automatically transition between themes based on a user-defined schedule (time of day and/or day of the week). How It Works: Users can select a primary theme and an alternate "Scheduled Theme" (e.g., setting a start/end time or selecting specific days like Monday–Friday). The launcher handles the switch silently in the background. Use Cases & Impact: Deep Focus: Automatically switch to a minimal, monochrome theme during working hours to reduce app distractions. Work/Life Balance: Revert to a vibrant, colorful theme on weekends and evenings when off the clock. Digital Wellbeing: Trigger an ultra-minimal theme (e.g., dark mode, hidden icons) late at night to help wind down before bed. Why this fits Niagara Launcher's core design principles: Simple: Requires only a basic time/day toggle under the existing Theme settings. No complex conditional rules required. Impactful: Directly enhances productivity and digital wellbeing—two primary reasons users choose minimal launchers like Niagara. Independent: If a user doesn't set a schedule, the launcher behaves exactly as it does today. It adds zero complexity to the everyday user experience if left disabled. Universal: Time-based scheduling relies on standard system clocks, working flawlessly across all devices and regions.

Add navigation swipe

Please, Niagara Launcher team, add swipe navigation. Because I use a Xiaomi phone, when I want to change to swipe navigation, it's not allowed, so I beg you to add that feature to your launcher 🙏 I'm also already subscribed hehe so... you can add new features

allow swiping to app list. smoother swipe

It Would be awesome if swiping down to apps list instead of search was allowed. And the animation was removed for a faster response. Not sure how the search option would fit but maybe it can stay up waiting to be clicked or maybe a right/left swipe

Picture-in-Picture fails when returning to home screen

PiP works correctly with Samsung One UI Home and Microsoft Launcher, but when Niagara is the default launcher, Pluto TV closes instead of entering Picture-in-Picture when returning to the home screen. The user reports similar behavior with other media apps as well. Set Niagara Launcher as the default launcher. Open Pluto TV and start playing a video. Return to the home screen. Instead of entering PiP mode, Pluto TV closes. One UI: 8.5

Events from multiple Google calendars not appearing in calendar widget

On a Motorola Razor 2025 running Android 16. I have four Google/Gmail accounts set up on my phone with various sub-calendars, both natively created as well as subscribed. Everything works as expected in the Google Calendar app, however only one native calendar (the primary calendar of one Google account) as well as one subscribed calendar (from the same Google account) are displaying events in the calendar widget. All calendars are visible and selected in the Niagara calendar settings filter, but only events from the two calendars are showing up. I’ve cleared cache and storage, restarted the app, and uninstalled/reinstalled, but nothing has fixed the issue.

Alphabet Navigation

Please add an option to completely disable the Alphabet/Wave navigation. Even when it is hidden, accidentally touching the edge can still trigger it, especially when using the back gesture to return to the home screen. A simple “Disable Alphabet Navigation” option would make the launcher more comfortable and user-friendly.

Missing App in Niagara App List

Favorite Apps

I would like there to be a button to disable the favorites strip without losing the order in which they are hidden, if at any time I want to hide or unhide them. I would like there to be a button to disable the favorites strip without losing the order in which they are hidden, so that if I want to hide or unhide them at any time, I wouldn't lose their settings. As it is now, you have to uncheck your favorite apps to hide the entire app strip.

Flashlight off widget

Allow us to disable this feature. And any new feature should come with a toggle to turn it off!

Notification layout breaks after dismissing an expanded notification

Description: When multiple notifications from the same app are shown on the home screen, expanding the notification stack and swiping away one of the notifications causes the layout to break. Instead of smoothly transitioning to the remaining notifications, the view abruptly jumps to the bottom of the notification stack. The remaining notifications are then positioned incorrectly, with parts of their text and images misaligned or cut off. The issue is reproducible with X (Twitter) notifications and still occurs after reinstalling X. Steps to reproduce: Receive multiple notifications from X. Expand the notification stack on the Niagara home screen. Swipe away one of the expanded notifications. The notification layout jumps and the remaining notifications become misaligned/cut off. Expected behavior: After dismissing one notification, the remaining notifications should stay correctly positioned and transition smoothly. Actual behavior: The notification view jumps toward the bottom of the stack and the remaining notification content becomes misaligned and partially cut off.

Lock screen features

My idea is to add lock screen personalization where you can put the same clock and theme like on the home screen with the calendar battery date etc. I think this is also an essential feature.

Problem with PiP on video streaming services

While for (commercial) YouTube Picture-in-Picture PiP works fine when gesturing back to home, it fails for video services like Netflix, Prime and Disney+. What is interesting is that if I instantiate an app via the notification drawer, the video services are correctly switch to PiP mode. It fails only when gesturing back to home.

Optimization?

The launcher is marvelous, but it consumes lots of battery and I feel my internet connection (mobile data) has a delay on requesting/downloading and sending/uploading my apps info (message, image, notification). Like if something is in the way. Besides that, I'm staying.

Feature Request: More Gestures for the Pro Button

Hi Niagara Team, I have a small feature request for the Pro button. Currently, it only supports the Pull App gesture. It would be great if you could add more gesture directions, such as: Pull Up Pull Down Pull Left Pull Right Double Tap This would allow users to assign different apps or actions to each gesture, making the Pro button much more useful without affecting Niagara's clean design. Thanks for the amazing launcher!

Feature Request: Full Gesture Navigation

I really love the app! It's so clean, beautiful, and minimal. It's honestly a perfect fit for me because I really love dark colors and minimalist designs. I would like to request full gesture navigation for the launcher. Currently, the launcher uses the older gesture style with the three navigation areas at the bottom. I would really love to see it support the modern Android full-screen gesture navigation, where: Swipe up from the bottom → Home Swipe up and hold → Recent Apps Swipe from the left or right edge → Back Swipe left or right at the bottom → Switch between apps Having this would make the launcher feel much more modern, smooth, and immersive, while still keeping the clean and minimalist design that I really love. I would really appreciate it if full gesture navigation could be implemented as a feature in a future update. Thank you for creating such a beautiful launcher! ❤️

Move the pop-up folders to the top of the list

I myself like to organize things in the folders (my list is almost empty) and having to go to the bottom to access the folders is a bit annoying. We could have an option to put all folders on the top of the list.
