why it exists

One UI modedefault

4x6 grid, vertical app drawer, squircle icons, One UI folder rhythm and a clean dock. Familiar on day one.

Nova depthshipping

Gestures, dock pages, icon swipe actions, backup/restore, hidden apps and notification badges. Nested folders are on the roadmap.

PolyQon syncoptional

Change the seed in PolyQon and the launcher accent, icon shape and theme follow. No PolyQon? Nothing breaks.

what is in it

One UI, not a skindesign

A first-class Samsung-style layout and motion, not a Pixel launcher with a theme on top.

Power without the cockpitux

Simple by default, advanced when you ask. Presets for One UI, Pixel and Nova power users.

Foldable-firstfold

Separate inner and outer layouts, hinge-aware grids, tablet dock and DeX-friendly spacing.

Open and honestApache-2.0

No ads, no trackers, no account. Built on the open-source Launcher3/Lawnchair codebase (Apache-2.0); the fork stays Apache-2.0 and keeps the upstream notices.

Xposed bridgeoptional

The PolyQon module works standalone. If Unbolt Home is installed, it also re-applies the theme on resume.

Portable profilebackup

Layout, folders, gestures, icon pack and per-device overrides in one file. Move phones without starting over.

polyqon sync

Unbolt Home reads PolyQon's palette from a read-only provider at content://com.polyqon.app.theme/theme. Change the seed in PolyQon and the launcher follows. If PolyQon is not installed, the launcher keeps your manual theme and nothing breaks.

The optional PolyQon Xposed module is standalone: it keeps working with SystemUI and One UI even if you never install a launcher. If Unbolt Home is present, the module binds to its public bridge and re-applies the theme on resume — persistence without process-killer hacks.

roadmap

Now (0.13.3): One UI preset with 4-column drawer and 3×3 folders, always-visible page indicator, restore-preset action, PolyQon sync, 30 MB R8 release APK, custom icon, six-section settings, One UI folder popup, rounded widgets, bottom drawer search bar, dock width, optional Xposed bridge.
Next: page indicator position/style, Samsung-like typography, per-ABI release splits, dock spread (proper cell-width model), widget overlap depth, first-run preset chooser.
Then: nested folders, dock width/spread, widget overlap depth, APK export, Nova backup import.
