*** MAIN FEATURES ***

> Gesture:
Ditch traditional launchers and embrace a new, intuitive way to interact with your phone using custom gestures for a seamless and personalized experience.

> Swipe:
Quickly launch your favorite apps with simple swipe actions (supports 9 different swipe actions).

> User Modes:
A standout feature that allows you to create a secure separation between "OWNER" and "GUEST" users. In "OWNER" mode, the AUG L App Locker is disabled, and hidden apps are visible in the App Drawer.

> App Locker:
eliminate the need for a separate app locker. AUG Launcher provides a powerful built-in app locker, enhanced by the customizable User Modes.

Search your existing phone contacts using gestures and initiate calls directly from the launcher (when in "CONTACT MODE" - see the tutorial for details). It's that simple!

> Hide Apps:
Maintain a clean and private UI by hiding apps. (Widgets associated with hidden apps are also hidden. You can still launch hidden apps or run shortcuts from the home screen using gestures and swipes. Refer to the tutorial for more information.)

> Dock:
Access your most frequently used apps with a single tap using the convenient Dock.

> Folder:
Organize your apps into folders based on your interests or usage patterns, creating a clean and smart user interface.

> App Drawer:
All your apps (except hidden apps in "GUEST" mode) and folders are listed alphabetically in either horizontal or vertical mode.

Personalize your app icons by choosing from a variety of icon packs (Go to AUG L settings --> Icon pack).

> No ads:
Enjoy an ad-free launcher experience. No annoying interruptions!

*** Support development ***
For the first 48 hours after installation, you can try out all gesture operations with a free trial.

If you are new to AUG L, please consult the tutorial (displayed on the first launch after installation) or the Help section (AUG L Settings -> Help) to understand how AUG L works.

If you encounter any bugs, please report them (AUG L Settings -> Contact & support).

To improve gesture recognition:

- It is recommended to edit the gestures based on your usage patterns.
- Select an appropriate gesture sensitivity for the home screen (Go to AUG L Settings -> Home).

This app requires Device Administrator permission - ONLY for locking the screen using swipe/gesture actions.

This app utilizes the AccessibilityService API for:

1) Locking the screen using swipe/gesture actions.
2) Displaying the notification bar/quick settings bar/recent apps (on some devices only) using swipe/gesture actions.

Due to Android policy updates, retrieving unread counts for SMS and missed calls is no longer possible.
