Glide Launcher: a minimalist, fast and private Android home screen, with an AI that runs entirely on your phone.

Short · ~50 words

Glide Launcher is a clean Android launcher focused on speed and privacy. Instant navigation (app wheel, edge bars, alphabet selector), a glanceable summary widget (weather, calendar, stocks), an offline RSS reader and a 100% local generative AI. No ads, no tracking, and highly customizable.

Long · ~120 words

Glide Launcher rethinks the Android home screen around three principles: be fast, see what matters, and respect privacy. You launch any app with a single gesture thanks to the radial app wheel, the side edge bars and the alphabet selector. The summary widget gathers hour-by-hour weather, upcoming events and stock prices, right on the home screen. A built-in RSS reader aggregates the news, readable even offline. As a highlight, a generative AI runs entirely on the device — no data is ever sent over the internet — and can even draft a believable reply to a message you received. Themes, accents, fonts, icon packs and gestures make everything fully customizable. No ads, no tracking.

Detailed walkthrough

Every feature, explained

A didactic tour of what Glide Launcher does, feature by feature.

Home screen with the summary widget
01 · HOME

A glanceable home screen

The heart of Glide is the summary widget: the useful info, right away, without opening an app.

  • Weather hour by hour, with a next-day preview on swipe.
  • Calendar: upcoming events and countdowns.
  • Stocks: near real-time ticker tracking.
  • A tap opens the detail (events, forecasts).
Radial app wheel
02 · NAVIGATION

Launch an app in a single gesture

Several navigation modes to choose from, all designed to reach an app without digging.

  • App wheel: a radial menu that opens under your thumb.
  • Alphabet selector in two columns to jump from a letter to the app.
  • Assignable gestures (swipe, double-tap, long-press…).
Side edge bars
03 · EDGE BARS

Your apps at the edge of the screen

The edge bars place an alphabetical index on the sides: the thumb slides, the app appears. Ideal for one-handed use.

  • Index on one or both edges, adjustable size and labels.
  • Full app drawer with an alphabetical scrollbar.
  • App filtering and hiding.
Rain and stock widgets
04 · WIDGETS

Elegant native widgets

A collection of in-house widgets, polished and resizable on a paged home grid (drag and drop).

  • Hour-by-hour rain forecasts, stock charts.
  • Clock, temperature range, calendar, monthly view.
  • To-do list, countdown, photo frame.
Built-in RSS reader
05 · RSS

Your news, even offline

A built-in RSS reader aggregates your sources into one clear feed, filterable by chips and readable without a connection. A simple swipe right opens it.

  • Multi-source with feed auto-discovery.
  • Chronological sorting, offline reading.
Glide Launcher local AI chat
06 · LOCAL AI · PRO

An AI that never leaves the phone

A chat with a 100% local generative AI (model runs on the device): no data is sent over the internet, even during the conversation.

  • Animated window that springs from the button, works in airplane mode.
  • "Human reply" mode: paste a received message and the AI drafts a believable reply, ready to copy into your messaging app.
  • Built-in copy/paste, conversation history kept.
Drawer and customization
07 · CUSTOMIZATION

A launcher in your image

Glide bends to your taste, from the global theme to the smallest gesture.

  • Light/dark themes, accent colour, fonts.
  • Icon packs, system or image wallpaper with adjustable blur.
  • Configurable dock (size, notification badges, swipe actions).
  • Glide button: a floating button with customizable shortcuts.
Privacy and summary
08 · PRIVACY

Private by design

No ads, no tracking, no mandatory account. What's on the phone stays on the phone.

  • AI runs locally; the network is only used to download a model.
  • Settings stored on the device, with backup / restore.
