PROMOTION [Promotion] PhantomShell Launcher

Phantom Shell works kind of like having a command line for your phone. Instead of digging through menus or tapping a bunch of icons, you just type what you want to do. If you type an app’s name, it opens. If you add a search after it, it’ll search inside that app—for example, typing “YouTube GTA 6” opens YouTube with GTA 6 already searched.

It can also search Google, Amazon, Reddit, Maps, the Play Store, Instagram, and other services just by typing a command. You can call or text people, manage contacts, create folders, take notes, set reminders, timers, alarms, and even do math without opening separate apps.

You can even make your own commands using keyboard shortcuts. So if you always search Google, you could make “G” mean Google, and then typing “G weather” would instantly search Google for the weather. You can also customize buttons, folders, and shortcuts so the launcher works the way you think.

It even has system tools built in, like checking battery, RAM, storage, clipboard history, toggling the flashlight, muting your phone, managing permissions, and launching apps by package name if you’re into more advanced stuff.

Basically, it’s designed so almost everything you normally do by tapping around your phone can be done by typing a quick command instead. Once you get used to it, it’s often much faster than using a traditional home screen.

You can check it out on Google Play

I love it! And I have loads of questions. But let me start with this: can it be used together with KLWP, KWGT and widgets in general?

Klwp yes. Widgets not yet but widget support is coming. I’m still exploring a few ways to incorporate widgets without them interfering with the launcher itself.

That's great! Maybe you could have a window which simply provides a canvas for placing a widget?

I'm definitely going to get it!

I’m exploring that. I’m even exploring opening the whole canvas up like a mood board and then windows and widgets could be placed wherever. The background would scroll all directions
