Niagara Launcher v1.15.13 · Minor Patch

🏠 Prompt to set Niagara Launcher as default after returning from another launcher
We've received reports from non-tech-savvy users that it can be confusing to make Niagara Launcher their homescreen again if it gets reset for some reason (e.g., due to some extreme power-saving mode). If this happens and you return to Niagara Launcher via another launcher, you'll now be welcomed by a prompt to restore it as your default launcher.

Niagara Launcher v1.15.11 · Minor Patch

🖼️ Support predictive back gesture in wallpaper collection
Niagara Launcher now shows an animation when using the predictive back gesture while displaying a wallpaper from our wallpaper collection in fullscreen. This only works on Android 14+ and when using gesture navigation.

◀️ Fix notification preview layout for languages with a right-to-left script
Previously, the separator was showing in front of the date and app name, not in between, like a separator should. Now, it is displayed correctly.

Niagara Launcher v1.15.7 · Minor Patch

🎧 Fix media section sometimes not appearing

🕔 Fix default clock style shrinking randomly

😴 Remove experimental "Morning Mode"
Morning Mode was designed to limit access to apps early in the day, but it did not quite deliver the impact we imagined. Since it has also become tricky to maintain, we have decided to retire the feature.

Please refer to the previous changelog for all of today's changes and an end-of-the-year message from the team.

Happy holidays!

🔖 More suggested category icons when using Icon Assistant
Due to a recent change, Icon Assistant only showed the most fitting category icon for an app.
If multiple categories fit an app (e.g., a card game is also a game), the Icon Assistant now suggests icons for all matching categories (i.e., a deck of cards and a game controller) again.

🌍 Updated translations
Even though Christmas is still a few days away, our translators delivered their gifts early in the form of fresh translations. Thank you very much!
If you want to try something new over the holidays, maybe translating Niagara Launcher is something for you? 🤔

🎄 Signing off for 2025
Unless this update leads to something unexpected, it will likely be the last one of 2025 as we head into the holidays.
While this year was full of big changes for us, such as working on Niagara Launcher full-time and moving to a new office, there's one thing that didn't change: the excitement every time we release a new update and nervously wait for your reactions. We can't wait to feel that even more next year with the things we have planned!

Thank you so much for participating in our community and for making the work on Niagara Launcher so fulfilling. Without you, this whole thing would not be the same.

We wish you happy holidays, and as we like to say in Germany, we hope you slide well into next year. 👋
