HUE-ISTIC

Android home screen launcher

Your apps, arranged by color.

An Android launcher whose drawer groups every app by the color of its icon. Nine ways to look at the same list, and nothing of yours ever leaves your phone.

One email, when it launches. Nothing else, ever.

The Hue-istic home screen: a wallpaper, one app icon, a dock and a search widget. The Rainbow view: apps in a grid under a RED section header, the background shading from red to orange. The Mosaic view: twelve colored tiles — red, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, purple, pink, rainbow, white, gray, black — each packed with that color's app icons. The Honeycomb view: a dense hex spiral of app icons on colored cells. The Hue Ring view: a segmented color wheel labelled Blue, 47 apps, with those apps listed beneath it. The Bubbles view: circular clusters of app icons, one cluster per color, sized by how much each app is used.
A home screen first Pages, folders, a dock, widgets. Swipe up for the drawer.

Included

Three ways to browse, out of the box

Same apps, three shapes. One button in the drawer switches between them.

Rainbow

Every app in one list, red through violet. A toggle hides the section headers for one continuous rainbow.

Mosaic

One tile per color, filled with that color's icons. Tap a tile for its apps.

Honeycomb

A hex spiral, one cell per app, with the apps you use most at the center.

On the way

Six more views. These two are the reason.

One purchase, yours for good — when it lands. Not on sale yet, so the app doesn't ask: it renders every one of them live with your own apps and offers to tell you when they arrive.

Soon

Hue Ring

A color wheel you can spin. Flick it and it keeps going, slowing to rest on a color and riffling its apps underneath as it passes.

Soon

Bubbles

Each color a cluster, the apps you use most drawn largest. Start typing and the clusters melt away around whatever still matches.

  • Four more views come with them — Most used, Spectrum, Wallet and Accordion.
  • Prism badges — counts that cycle through every hue, in unison across the screen.
  • Shimmer sweep — a specular sweep travelling across every badge at once.

Badges themselves are free, along with the breathing glow and the icon-matching color.

Privacy

Nothing of yours leaves your phone

No ads, no analytics, no accounts, no tracking. Hue-istic's own code asks for no network permission and never transmits anything — the one network dependency is Google's billing library, and the policy says exactly what it does.
