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.

Sort apps alphabetically in pop up folders

I would like pop up folders to show apps in alphabetical order to find them more easily. Also, when using the option to sort by usage, it would be helpful if the order can have most used at the bottom. Holding a phone at the bottom, it's easier to reach apps at the bottom of the list, so that would be easier for those you use most (except for people who have very long lists that require scrolling).

Minimal To-Do List That Fits Niagara’s Philosophy

Hi Niagara Team, I love how strictly Niagara follows simple, universal, and clutter-free design. That’s why I believe a Niagara-style To-Do list fits perfectly—if done right. Here is a proposal aligned with your principles • Simple – An icon/ sliding bar. No folders, no priorities, no dates. Just “add → do → done”. One click to add, one to complete. • Easy to configure – Default OFF. When enabled, it appears on top right corner or bottom left. • Impactful – To-dos are one of the most common daily needs. For minimalists, it replaces heavy apps instantly. • Universal – only text required. Works Offline. Works everywhere, on every phone. • Independent – If unused, it adds zero UI clutter or cognitive load. Pls discuss this features even if the placement & sliding bar/icon needs to be changed pls considered this adding it means a lot to note taking peoples.

"Recently used" apps list - like "most used" but it helps you stay on track

The computer science principle of Temporal Locality shows that the best predictor of what you'll access next is what you accessed most recently. It would be incredibly helpful if Niagara added a dynamically updating list of recently opened apps in chronological order. For example: I open Amazon to find a book, switch to email to search for the title, get distracted by an urgent message, and return to the home screen having completely forgotten my original task. Seeing Amazon right there below my favourite apps would instantly jog my memory. This fits your Impactful principle of feature requests perfectly. It is absolutely necessary for some—as someone with ADHD, context switching is hard and my working memory drops tasks instantly—but it is highly appealing for many, because people often want to access the same app again that they were just using. It’s also fits the rest of the bill for feature requests. Simple: Reusing the existing "often used" UI element but ordered by recency means the only visible change would be adding an extra toggle or drop down menu to select it “recently used” instead. Universal: Relies purely on remembering the user’s interactions with Niagara when launching apps, thus working perfectly on any phone. Independent: Integrated natively, it adds no clutter or complexity if a user simply scrolls past the option.

allow choosing icon style for individual apps

When setting a global icon theme you get to choose an icon style for many of the anycons. This option is skipped when choosing icons for individual apps without setting a global icon theme. I would find it very helpful if I could choose a style when setting icons per app because I prefer to only set the icons of apps in my favorites. When I use a global theme it’s harder to find apps in my list at a glance.

Pop-up and Niagara Button further customization

While we are able to adjust with the theme selector today, I believe we should be able to visually change the background color of the button and popups, along with the icon color in the Niagara button. This would give us more customization with probably only a few new settings options. The probably is really shown when you do an oled black and white text theme in Niagara. The popups are hard to see where they end because the background of the popup doesn’t have enough contrast to the background and surrounding options.

Hide app titles in the A-Z app list

We have the option to hide the app name/title of favorites on the home screen list which makes it very nice to have app icons display in a minimalist setup. I would like this same option rolled out to the full A to Z app list, so my entire minimalist setup can be App Icons only. This would hide the application names and only feature the icons throughout the entire UI, keeping things consistent if you prefer to utilize an icon only based setup.
