One of the simple things I love coming back to on a Pixel device is the “At a Glance” widget that makes up the top of the homescreen. It’s basic but very useful, with a good look too. Now, Lawnchair Launcher is testing an expansion to the At a Glance widget that integrates more notifications, music, and more.
One of the most underappreciated features of Google’s Pixel is the launcher. It’s clean and super easy to use with features that have quickly spread to the rest of the Android ecosystem. However, it’s not very customizable, which is why we’ve seen several apps hit the market to replace it. Now, one of our favorites from last year is getting a finalized release.
Google Now Launcher is a popular way for Android users on nearly any device to get an experience similar to using a Nexus or Google Pixel, but it’s often criticized for not having enough customization options. Luckily, XDA developer Deletescape decided to create a new launcher based on AOSP called Lawnchair that replicates the Google Now Launcher and adds dozens of settings to help personalize your home screen.
