Blue Line Console vs CClauncher
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Blue Line Console
Blue Line Console launches your apps, web search engines, and built in calculator via keyboard. You can launch the desired app quickly with your keyboard everywhere. Just type 2 or 3 characters, and likely you can find the desired app on top of list. You need no configuration to do it (although I prepared some configuration for more comfortable usage). You can start Blue Line Console by pressing once you set this app to default Assist App of Android. You can also start from notification bar, available everywhere (find this option in configuration screen, opened with config command). You can input one of below list to search apps or commands. - Part of application name (e.g. Blue Line Console) - Part of package name (e.g. net.nhiroki.bluelineconsole) - URL - Calculation formula (e.g. 2+3*5, 1inch in cm, 1m+1inch, 1m+1inch in cm) - One of commands below (e.g. help) Available commands: - help - config - date - bing QUERY - duckduckgo QUERY - google QUERY - wikipedia QUERY - yahoo QUERY - ping HOST - ping6 HOST Source code: https://github.com/nhirokinet/bluelineconsole
CClauncher
CCLauncher is a minimalist Android launcher designed to help reduce screen time and distractions due to all the apps present (like social media apps for example). Unlike traditional launchers, apps are hidden by default. Key Features: - Apps invisible by default (type to search) - Digital wellbeing tools (screen time tracking) - Double-tap to lock screen - Customizable gestures (swipe left/right/up/down shortcuts) - App renaming/hiding capabilities - Plain black/white wallpapers for focus - No ads, no tracking, no internet permission - 100% private Usage Tips: 1. Swipe up to search apps 2. Long press empty space for settings 3. Enable double-tap lock in Accessibility settings 4. Rename duplicate-named apps for easier launching This is a modern rewrite of Clauncher using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, maintaining most of the minimalism while improving functionality (and maybe performance...)
