This new Android launcher is my new must-have app for foldable phones

Foldable phones are marketed as flexible and adjustable, but their software often isn’t, especially when it comes to their launchers. You either use the first-party launcher, which usually has customization limitations, or a third-party alternative that’s designed with multiple devices in mind. I faced this issue with the vivo X Fold 2, but I believe I’ve finally found a solution with Octopi Launcher.

I’ve been following the development of this launcher for over a year, and it recently became available as a beta version on the Play Store. Even during its alpha testing phase, it showed promise. Although it’s not yet a finished product, it’s one of the most exciting Android launchers I’ve used in years, particularly for multi-screen devices.
