001 / Launcher
Text-based
Android launcher.
No icons.
Just words and speed.
Lonchi replaces the icon grid with a typographic homescreen. Open your phone, see a list of words, tap one. That's it.
002 / What it is
Lonchi is a launcher built around typography. No icon grid, no widgets, no wallpaper carousel — only words. Fuzzy-search drawer, configurable gestures, a homescreen organised around periods of the day, week, month and year.
Runs fully offline. Works on Android 10 and above.

003 / Permissions, plainly
Lonchi is a launcher, so it asks for a few permissions Android normally restricts. Every permission is documented in the full policy and used only for the on-device feature it enables.
