This document outlines our high-level strategic priorities. It's a living document, not a set of unbreakable promises. For the status of individual tasks, see our GitHub Issue Tracker and our team's Kanban board.
Lawnchair's goal is to be:
- Simple: Match the core Pixel Launcher experience.
- Powerful: Offer deep, meaningful customization.
- Stable: Provide a rock-solid, reliable foundation.
- Shipped:
15 Beta 1to GitHub & Play Store. - Completed: A full architectural overhaul of the Search and Permissions systems.
This is our active development sprint. The goal is to address key bugs and deliver a highly polished user experience.
- UI/UX overhaul of all Settings screens to Material 3 Expressive.
Once the UX overhaul is stable, our focus will shift to delivering highly-requested features that enhance customization and control.
- Proper icon swipe gestures
- Folder "cover" mode
- App drawer tabs
This is the massive, foundational undertaking to migrate our codebase to the latest Android 16 (AOSP) source. Its completion will be the foundation for our Lawnchair 16 release.
Status: Actively in progress, led by a core community contributor.
Highly-requested features that are blocked by external dependencies or require significant research.
- Widget Stacking: A highly complex feature requiring deep architectural investigation.
- QuickSwitch Stability: An ongoing effort to mitigate upstream AOSP/OEM bugs.
