> a home screen for Android

Your phone, encrypted.

Cipher Launcher turns your whole phone into a hacker's screen. Lock it and the wallpaper scrambles. Unlock it and it decrypts into your home screen.

See it move

Coming soon to Google Play.

01 / decrypt

Every unlock decrypts.

Locked, the wallpaper is scrambled like the rings of a cryptex. Unlock it and the bands slide home one by one, until your home screen is whole.

It works on every phone from Android 8 on, not just Pixels.

02 / looks

Six complete looks.

One tap puts on everything at once: the wallpaper, the icons, the clock and the way the app drawer opens.

Cipher: neon code rain and a pixel clock.

03 / icons

Every app gets the cipher look.

Hand-drawn pixel glyphs for your phone, messages, camera and browser, and a pixel copy of every other app's own icon. Give any app your own name, glyph and colour.

Love your launcher? It is an icon pack too, in Nova, Niagara, Smart Launcher, Lawnchair and most others.

04 / search

Search that takes commands.

It finds apps by their initials and forgives typos. Type a command, as at a terminal, and it runs.

  • timer 5m
  • alarm 7:30
  • theme noir
  • wifi
  • web cats

05 / vault

Hidden apps, behind a password.

Hide the apps you want out of sight. Type your password into search and they decrypt back into view. Leave the launcher and they are gone again.

It keeps apps from a quick look at your phone. It is not a lock.

06 / the basics

The basics, done properly.

Under the looks it is a full home screen, built to open fast every time you press Home.

A drawer that follows your finger

Open your apps as a grid, as pages or as an A to Z list.

Search beyond apps

Your contacts if you allow it, app shortcuts and settings, with one tap to search the web.

Folders, dock, widgets, dots

Drag apps, folders and widgets where you want them. Notification dots if you turn them on.

Seven clock styles

Pixel, binary, LED, dial and more, with five colour schemes and any accent colour.

An icon pack too

Keep your own launcher and use the cipher icons in it.

Backup and import

Save your setup to a file, or bring your dock, apps and folders over from a Nova backup.

Two widgets

For any home screen, and for the lock screen on newer Pixels.

Swipe down for notifications

The gestures you already know, where you expect them.

Nothing leaves your phone.

Cipher Launcher does not even have internet access. It cannot send anything to us or to anyone else.
