Description
If your current home screen feels stale, Vela Launcher offers a fresh start. This Android launcher swaps the usual clutter for a clean, vibrant layout that responds quickly and adapts to how you actually use your phone or tablet. You get a home screen that looks good out of the box, but the real fun begins when you start tweaking it. Vela puts a huge widget catalogue, deep icon customization, and smart shortcuts right at your fingertips, so you spend less time digging through menus and more time enjoying your device.
Widgets for Everything: Live Watch Faces, Weather Pills, and Daily Briefs
Vela Launcher doesn’t skimp on widgets. You can fill your home screen with calendars, clocks, weather updates, battery monitors, music controls, and plenty more from a large built-in catalogue. One standout trick is turning live watch faces into home screen widgets, which adds a cool, animated touch. You also get a daily brief card that summarizes your day, a weather pill for quick forecasts, and an activity widget to track your progress. Resize any widget to fit your layout, then drag it between pages whenever you want a change. Everything stays flexible and responsive.
Make It Yours: Icon Styles, Wallpapers, and Grid Control
Personalization goes deep in Vela Launcher. Browse themes and change your wallpaper to set the mood. Choose from five icon looks—Default, Dark, Clear, Bubble, or Tinted—so your app icons match your style. You can even rename any app or swap its icon for something more fitting. Want a denser or more spacious layout? Adjust the grid size separately for your home screen and your Apps screen. This level of control means your phone feels like yours, not like a factory preset.

- Five icon styles including Bubble and Tinted

Everything Close to Hand: Quick Panel, Universal Search, and Smart Folders
Vela Launcher keeps daily actions fast. Pull up the quick panel for toggles plus brightness and volume sliders without leaving your home screen. Use universal search to find apps, settings, or anything on the web from one bar. Organizing is simple too—drop one app on top of another to create a folder automatically. Every app has a short menu that lets you rename it, remove it, uninstall it, or change its icon on the spot. And a single edit bar lets you rearrange or tweak your home pages without jumping through hoops.
Extra Tools: Built-In File Manager, Hidden Apps, and Gestures
Beyond the basics, Vela Launcher packs useful extras. A built-in file manager helps you browse and manage files without a separate app. You can hide apps from the Apps screen for a cleaner look or a bit of privacy. Gestures and page animations add a smooth, fluid feel to navigation, making every swipe and tap feel responsive. These small touches add up to a launcher that feels polished and thoughtful.
Designed for Phones and Tablets Alike
Whether you’re on a compact phone or a large tablet, Vela Launcher adapts to your screen. The layout scales nicely, widgets stay usable, and the grid options let you take advantage of extra space. It’s a launcher that feels at home on any Android device, giving you a clean, colorful, and highly customizable home screen that’s quick to use and easy to make your own.
What's New
New settings: Live blur and Static blur. Turn Live blur off if blur is slow or looks wrong on your phone; menus and panels keep a frosted look from a still picture.
