When creating a theme, I cannot select whether to apply the wallpaper to the lock screen or home screen, it is always applied to both. I'd also like the option to do this when selecting a photo from my photos app.

Add the option to show media widget when no music or audio is currently playing. It would be a nice add since spotify and yt music have a horrendous widget, it's too long and not in the language design of Niagara.

Hi I left a Google review (Barry Spinnard) stating about the lag that occurs with notifications. Which is why I am requesting a simple notification dot option. I dislike the peeking feature, I absolutely LOVE the minimal, clean, simple layout of the launcher and I want my notifications to match that aspect with a simple dot. Is that something that can happen? I'm hoping so as I've just resubscribed for another year. Cheers lads, keep up the good work. I'm going to give the launcher another go for the foreseeable.

The ability to have just the text on the home screen would be nice as I like to keep the screen very clean.

It'd be really cool if I could move a widget below my favourite list .. my screen would look much cleaner with the weather widget in the empty space at the bottom of the screen instead of the top third

Proton is getting big. Supporting it in calendar would add premium users to Niagara. Thanks

Hi Niagara Launcher Team, I’d like to suggest a feature aimed at improving intentional phone usage and reducing impulsive app opening. Feature Idea: Intent-Based App Launch Delay (for selected apps) The core idea is to add friction before opening distracting apps (like social media), encouraging more mindful usage. Proposed behavior: User can mark certain apps as “distracting.” When opening one of these apps: A delay screen appears (e.g., 5–15 seconds) During this time, the user must: 1. Select a session duration (e.g., 5 min, 10 min, 30 min) 2. Optionally write a short intention (e.g., “Reply to messages”) 3. Or cancel opening the app Once the selected time ends, the app is restricted again or the user is prompted to exit Why this matters: Impulsive app usage is often automatic rather than intentional. Even a small delay can interrupt that loop and make usage more deliberate. This idea is loosely inspired by the concept from Atomic Habits by James Clear—adding friction to bad habits to make them harder to perform—applied here in a practical way. Why it fits Niagara: Niagara already emphasizes simplicity and intentional interaction. This feature aligns naturally with that philosophy while remaining optional and minimal in design. Optional enhancements: Customizable delay duration Daily usage insights for selected apps Soft vs strict mode (skippable vs enforced delay) Best regards, Saksham

I have a few Firefox websites I “Add to Homescreen”. Unfortunately in Niagara these must be favourites and must stick. I don't want to clutter my Homescreen with Web apps I only sometimes need and would like to have them just listed like a normal app in app list and searchable.

I’d like to add a feature button that allows apps placed in a pop-up style folder to be hidden from the app list, so they can only be accessed through that folder. This would make it easier for me to organize and categorize my apps.

Summary Add an optional text outline or drop shadow to launcher UI text (especially the app list) to improve readability across high-contrast wallpapers. Problem Niagara Launcher’s minimalist design works beautifully with clean or uniform backgrounds. However, many visually striking wallpapers include strong contrast (light and dark regions). In these cases: White text becomes difficult to read over light areas Black text becomes difficult to read over dark areas This creates inconsistent readability depending on where the text appears on the screen. Proposed Solution Introduce a simple, optional readability enhancement: Option A: Subtle Drop Shadow Automatically adapts: White text → black shadow Black text → white shadow Option B: Thin Text Outline High-contrast outline (black or white depending on text color) Why This Fits Niagara’s Design Philosophy Simple One toggle (e.g., “Improve text readability”) with minimal or no additional configuration. Impactful Significantly improves usability for anyone using high-contrast or dynamic wallpapers. Universal Works across all devices, regions, and languages. No dependencies or special conditions. Independent Completely optional—no impact on users who prefer the current clean look. Additional Notes (Optional Enhancements) Could be applied selectively to: App list Pop-up menus Widgets/text elements Even a very subtle implementation would make a noticeable difference. Use Case Users who prefer visually rich wallpapers (e.g., photography, abstract art, or high-contrast designs) can maintain both aesthetics and readability without needing to compromise. Closing Thought This small visual enhancement would preserve Niagara’s minimalism while making it more adaptable to a wider range of wallpapers and user preferences.

So this pop-up asking you how much time you want to spend on the app (and maybe to add your own motivation and show it to you when the time is done). When the time is done it automatically takes you out of the app. You can re-eneter the app anytime, but always having to set your timer and motivation. (Saw it at minimalist phone and I find it to be a game changer especially for apps you need but tend to be highly adictive - like checking your messages on instagram and getting swept up in a loop of reels)

It would be great to have an option to add a blur effect in the app drawer. I know Niagara Launcher aims to stay lightweight, but a subtle blur effect could make it look even cleaner and more modern. If adding blur isn’t possible, at least allowing users to adjust the overlay opacity in the app drawer would be a nice customization option.

When pressing home button/doing related gesture the animation seems very slow or there is some kind of freeze with just the wallpaper showing and then, approx. 1s later, the app list and rest of home screen showing. This is not happening if simply going back and back until the homescreen or when pressing home from the multitasking tabs screen.

Currently when editing and App Pop-up, the app that holds the popup doesn't appear in the list as an option to be added. This means (for instance) a messaging app can't act as a container for ALL messaging apps, making the list feel incomplete when you look at it.

to open automatically any apps when we type it's name part. For example when we type "wh", if there is no other apps starting with "wh", other than WhatsApp, it open automatically without clicking the icon. If any app starts with "wh", other than WhatsApp, when we type the next character, if it is unique, the corresponding app will open automatically.
