What is Orbital Launcher?

Your home screen

It's what you see when you unlock your phone: your apps, your wallpaper, and things like the clock and the weather.

Made your way

Orbital is an app that gives you a new one. Put your favorite apps right under your thumb, and choose the layout, colors and style from dozens of themes.

Nothing else changes

Your other apps, photos and settings stay as they are. Go back to your old home screen whenever you like, in your phone's settings.

Free · For Android phones, Android 8.0 and later · No account needed

New in Orbital

Two new ways to lay out home

Press, hold, tap and swipe: both of these work right here.

Orbit Pad New

Hold the pad where your thumb rests and every app orbits around it. Slide onto one and let go to open it. Your dock's apps sit closest, then the ones you use most, then everything else.

Showcase New

Big tiles in a row, recent apps first, over a backdrop in the color of the app you're on. Shelves for recents, games and music, quick actions under each tile, and it works with a game controller.

Everything new in Orbital

The dock

Put it on any edge

An orbit you turn, a classic row, or a compact container. Pick one and move it around.

Themes

Make it yours

Dozens of themes in the app and the theme store, plus layouts, docks and seven icon shapes. Mix them any way you like.

Setups from the community Home screens ready to try, each with its theme and layout. Open one in Orbital in a tap. See the setups

Every kind of phone

Foldables, keyboards and little hands

Foldables

Open it up for two pages side by side, or give the big screen a layout of its own.

Keyboard phones

Type on the home screen to find an app or start an errand, and hold a key for a shortcut.

Kids mode ✦

Only the apps you choose, big and clearly named, locked behind your PIN or pattern.
