Powerful, yet minimalist. Use it like a classic launcher with familiar spaces, icons, widgets, and an app drawer, or clear the clutter and swipe to any app instantly with an intuitive thumb-driven pie menu. You can use it all!
Virtual widget spaces, conditionally show or hide spaces and widgets, powerful notifications manager, integrated news reader, catch-up inbox for notes/notifications/news, display live Android sensor data and Internet queries, and unmatched customization options!
A quick animation that shows how Tenkai Launcher works and how it can change your Android experience.
Fast, fluid, thumb-driven navigation built around muscle memory.
Touch anywhere on your home screen and a circular pie menu opens right where your finger rests. Comfortably explore nested sub-pies and categories without crowding your wallpaper with static icons.
Because radial directions stay fixed, you never have to hunt for an icon. Start by swiping deliberately to browse slices; as your hand learns the angles, flick instantly in the known direction. Apps launch in a fraction of a second—before the menu even has time to appear.
Tenkai adapts to how you hold your phone. Deploy radial menus by pressing empty space across customizable screen touch zones, tapping dedicated on-screen Action Icons, or placing a permanent on-screen Pie Widget.
Customize your radial menus to fit your hand perfectly. Assign apps, shortcuts, android commands, or sub-pies to any slice, then fine-tune angles, inner and outer radii, text size, and colors with a live interactive editor.
Elevate your home screen with curated visual themes including Radar, Electric, Fire, Magic, and Dark. Enjoy dynamic lighting effects, follow-finger glow trails, and high-contrast styling crafted for modern HD displays.
Build a home screen that adapts to your day. Arrange native and third-party widgets, automate visibility based on device conditions, summon on-demand Virtual Spaces and customize home icons.
Experience a new standard in home screen organization. Stack multiple widgets into compact, gesture-navigated decks or combine widgets into freeform canvas panels with grid snapping, fine-grained Z-order layering, and smart automations.
Swipe up (or use your preferred action) whenever you need an app outside your pies. Filter instantly by name, installation date, update history, or frequent usage, jump with the fast A–Z side slider, or type with fast-launch options.
Prefer a traditional dock? Tenkai offers three versatile modes: manage active notifications with inline replies, dynamically display recently opened (or frequent) apps, or pin your favorite apps and pie triggers.
Select a capability to see it live on the phone.
A unified personal hub combining notification catch-up, daily to-dos, and bookmarked news articles in a dedicated widget or full inbox page.

Everything you need for a fast, clean home screen:
Advanced tools for power users and deep customization:
No. Setting Tenkai as your default launcher is completely reversible and deletes none of your apps or data. You can switch back to your old launcher at any time from Android’s Settings → Apps → Default apps → Home app.
Most people get comfortable within a few minutes. Tenkai includes an interactive tutorial with live gesture practice to help you get the hang of radial swiping. It also includes 18 curated starter presets out of the box, and you can always keep your favorite apps in the Classic Dock or app drawer while building muscle memory.
Yes. You can place discrete Action Icons on your home screen, pin favorite apps to the Classic Dock, and add, resize, and arrange any standard Android widget across your home spaces. You can also apply custom icon packs globally or override individual app icons.
Yes. While the gesture pie engine is Tenkai's signature feature, you can use the launcher purely with the Classic Dock, Action Icons, widgets, and the searchable app drawer.
Yes. You can hide the spaces bar completely for an unencumbered wallpaper. You can still switch spaces by assigning space navigation to a pie slice or gesture.
Because radial slice directions stay fixed, you don't have to wait for the visual menu to appear. Once your thumb knows where an app is located, a split-second flick launches it immediately—often before the circular menu even renders on screen. Search in the app drawer is just as fast: when search results narrow down to a single app, pressing enter or finishing your query opens it automatically.
Not at all. Battery efficiency is one of Tenkai Launcher’s core design principles. Tenkai is built to consume virtually zero extra battery, and it never wakes up power-hungry hardware like the GPS chip.
Starting in Android 12, Android displays a green privacy icon in the top corner whenever an app reads any information related to location.
Seeing this icon does not mean your GPS hardware turned on. Tenkai triggers this indicator solely because it reads cached system values already stored in your phone's memory to power customizable capsules and automations:
Every feature in Tenkai is built battery-first. We run strict automated tests and continuous code analysis to catch and eliminate any potential battery drain or unnecessary background wakeups before updates reach your phone. You can enjoy rich animations, capsules, and automations with total peace of mind.
Yes. Tenkai contains zero ads, zero trackers, and zero third-party analytics SDKs. Everything stays strictly on your device. See the privacy policy for full details.
No. The core pie engine, app drawer, gestures, widget spaces, dock, and core themes are free forever with no ads. Premium is an optional upgrade for power users that helps support ongoing development.
Yes. The settings tab includes a one-tap backup and restore tool that exports your entire setup to a file, making it easy to restore after a reset or when moving to a new phone.
