HoneyCrispGlobus UI Join the open test

Spin your home screen.

HoneyCrisp Launcher swaps Android's flat app grid for Globus UI: every app on a glass globe you can fling, flatten into a honeycomb, or stand up as a ring. The phone on this page runs the launcher's own projection math, so what you touch here is what you get.

Globe

Apps are spaced by the golden angle, so nothing clumps at the poles. Drag and the surface tracks your finger 1:1; flick it and it keeps rolling.

Honeycrisp grid

Flattens the globe into a watch-style grid. Icons near the edge shrink into the bezel instead of getting cut off, so you can pan across everything without losing your place.

Ring

Stands your 15 most recently used apps on a vertical ring down the right edge and keeps the left side for your clock. Spin it hard and the ring stretches outward, then settles.

UFO hover

Each gem in the pill at the bottom of the screen holds a group of favorites. Tap one and those apps lift off the globe and hover in a honeycomb while the rest fall away. Tap the same gem again, or double-tap empty space, to land them.

What's happening under the glass

The back of the globe isn't drawn

Icons past the horizon are skipped every frame, which is why the launcher stays smooth with a full app drawer on screen.

Light follows your hand

On a phone, the highlights on each glass bead track the tilt sensor. Here they follow your pointer. Their color shifts with the time of day, from golden hour to moonlight.

Built for older phones too

Every frame reuses the same memory and pre-rendered glass, so there are no garbage-collection stutters mid-fling. This web version follows the same rules.
