Description of MinimalLauncher

MinimalLauncher is a minimal launcher app with only the app name lined up. There are many kinds of launcher applications, but most of them display the icon of each application and perform startup by tapping it. In those launcher apps, the screen is quickly filled with icons when you register an app. Therefore, scrolling becomes necessary, and I was personally concerned that I might not be able to start an application immediately. Therefore, I thought it would be nice if there was a launcher application that could display a large number of applications on a single screen by eliminating icons and arranging only application names, and created MinimalLauncher. The number of apps can be increased or decreased depending on the device screen size, font size of the app name, and margin settings, but about 100 apps can be displayed on a single screen. *Before removing the limit with in-app purchases, the number of registered applications is limited to 20.  Please be aware of this.  After confirming the usability, you can register apps without restrictions by making in-app purchases. *This app does not have a function to automatically set a URL scheme when an app is selected.  Please understand this.  If you use the Apple genuine "Shortcuts" app, you can launch apps that do not have or do not know the URL scheme.  Please refer to the following URL for details.  https://broad-connect.net/2020/03/01/minimallaunchershortcut/ ◆Main functions ・The color of the application name can be freely set. (separate colors can be set for light mode and dark mode) ・Line breaks and section lines can be inserted at any position. ・The contents of the clipboard can be displayed. (Enter "_CLIP_" in the app name) ・Set a URL using the clipboard contents. (Enter "_ENCCLIP_" in the URL. For example, you can search the clipboard contents on Google by setting the URL as "http://www.google.com/search?q=_ENCCLIP_") ・Icon change function ・URL scheme support   Launch minimallauncher://   Add App minimallauncher://add/?name=[Name]&url=[URL] *I have confirmed a problem that an alert about pasting appears every time when using "_CLIP_" or "_ENCCLIP_" on iOS 16 or later.  This issue can be avoided by updating to iOS16.1 or later and making the following settings from the Settings app.  (1) Select "MinimalLauncher" in the Settings app and select "Paste from Other Apps".  (2) Change the setting to "Allow".    *Notification about pasting will appear even after changing to "Allow". Due to the limitation of iOS, you cannot turn off this notification.

Does not offer a widget ...

What is the use of a launcher with no widget?

Response from developer

Dear skerfy. Thank you very much for your review. Strictly speaking, this app does not entirely lack widget functionality. As you mentioned, I do not provide a “Home Widget” that can be placed on the home screen, but I do provide a “Today Widget” that can be placed in the area displayed by swiping the home screen to the right. The Home Widget is not provided due to various limitations compared to the Today Widget. Two of the most important reasons are the limitations in widget size and the types of frameworks that can be used. First, regarding the widget size, I believe that the strength of this application is that it can list a large number of applications by lining up only the application names and not displaying icons. However, I do not provide the Home Widget because I believe that its size limitation prevents it from fully demonstrating this strength. Incidentally, the Today Widget has no size limitation. Next, regarding the framework, the very important framework used in the Today Widget is restricted so that it cannot be used in the Home Widget. Therefore, to provide the Home Widget, I would need to make a very large scale modification. Since I are making this application in between my main jobs, I have not been able to take the time to make the modifications. I hope you understand.
