Your home screen, made of glass.

HoneyCrisp turns your apps into a globe of liquid glass that catches the light as you tilt your phone. Spin it in Orbit State, fold it down to a quiet ring in Flow State, or keep classic Panels for widgets. One tap on the floating ▲▼ orbs moves between all three.

HoneyCrisp in Orbit State on a Galaxy S25 Ultra: a globe of glass app icons, the dock with the Recent apps gem, and the floating ▲▼ state and Search orbs

Search orb tap to search, hold for Settings

▲▼ State orbs Panel, Orbit, Flow

A real, unedited screenshot from a Galaxy S25 Ultra running version 86.

Three states, one tap apart

Step up and down with the floating ▲▼ orbs, draw a V on the screen, or swipe. Every route is on by default, and every gesture has its own off switch.

  1. A panel of Google apps with their names under the icons, and the ▲ orb dimmed because Panel is the top state

    ▲ Top

    Panels

    Classic home pages for apps, folders and widgets, one per gem in the dock. App names sit under the icons, and widgets resize with One UI-style handles. Drop the 3D clock on one: a sun at the centre with planets orbiting for hours, minutes and seconds.

  2. Orbit State: every app on a spinning glass globe, with panel gems in the dock

    ● Middle

    Orbit State

    Every app on a sphere you spin and fling. Tap a panel gem and that panel's apps lift off and hover like UFOs. The new Recent gem does the same for your last five apps and anything you just installed. Flatten the globe into the Honeycrisp hex grid if you prefer.

  3. Flow State: a ring of etched icons down the right edge, with the clock on the left

    ▼ Bottom

    Flow State

    The calm one. Fifteen apps you actually use, on a ring down the edge with their names beside them. Draw a ^ and the ring lies flat as a Rotary Dial. Swipe up for an app drawer, or hold the edge for an A–Z list, on whichever side you choose.

New in version 86

Everything below is on the phone today. The manual covers each one in detail.

Dark, System and Light

Obsidian glass for tiles, etched icons, folders and menus in Dark, frosted milk glass in Light, or follow your phone. This site has the same switch, top right.

Performance overlay

A small stats box with FPS, frame time, CPU, GPU, memory and battery. Drag it anywhere on your home screen.

Settings, Performance: render quality choices and the Performance overlay switch

Floating Search and State orbs

Two glass orbs above the dock, in every view. Search sits bottom-left: tap to search, hold for Settings. The twin ▲▼ orbs on the right step between Panel, Orbit and Flow. Drag either one to where your thumb likes it.

App names

Names under icons on panels, in Honeycrisp and in the Flow drawer, and beside the Flow State ring. Flow State and panels have separate switches, and both are on the long-press sheets.

Recent apps gem

A gem in the dock that lifts your last five apps, plus new installs, off the globe in one tap.

Master settings

The first three Settings tiles gather the controls you reach for most: Master toggles, Master sizing and Master icon. They mirror the real settings, so a change shows in both places.

Every gesture has a switch

Built-in gestures gives each home gesture its own on/off switch, from the V and the ^ to two-finger hold and the long swipe for panels. The A–Z list can sit on the left or right edge.

Widgets, the One UI way

Long-press a widget for its menu and resize handles together. Tap the frame to finish. The picker shows each widget with its app's name and finds it by app, too.

Planet core colour

Pick the colour of the planet inside the globe on the Globe page, with a reset back to the sun-tinted default.

Clear or Frosted tile glass

Liquid-glass tile icons come clear or frosted. Spheres always stay crystal.

Make every panel yours

Each panel can have its own photo behind it, and you can draw right on the page: under your icons like a sticker on the glass, or over them to circle, underline and label. Try it here.

Music and battery, built in

Your apps move to your music

Turn on the visualizer and every icon on the globe reacts to whatever's playing, in any music app. Hops now fire on the raw beat, so the globe lands every kick. Ten styles, from classic level meters to a crimson storm with lightning on the beat.

A battery monitor that measures, not guesses

Battery health comes from your phone's own fuel gauge, read across real charges, not a formula. It keeps recording in the background, opens by itself when you plug in, and now blurs the home screen behind it.

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 your whole app list on screen.

– icons skipped in the last frame

Light follows your hand

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

– right now

Built for older phones too

Every frame reuses the same memory and pre-rendered glass, so there are no garbage-collection stutters mid-fling. Turn on the performance overlay on your phone to watch it hold.

Questions people ask

What is HoneyCrisp Launcher?

HoneyCrisp Launcher is an Android home screen app that replaces the flat app grid with Globus UI: your apps on a 3D glass globe you can spin and fling. You can flatten it into the Honeycrisp hex grid, switch to Flow State (a calm ring of the 15 apps you use most), or use classic panels for apps, folders and widgets.

How much does it cost?

HoneyCrisp is in early access on Google Play for $2.99 CAD ($1.99 USD). There are no ads.

Which phones does it work on?

Any phone running Android 12 or later. A few glass effects need Android 13 or later, and older versions get a lighter version of the same look.

Does HoneyCrisp collect my data?

There are no ads, no accounts and no tracking. Crash reports go to Google Firebase Crashlytics so bugs can be fixed, and if you allow location, an approximate location rounded to about 11 km goes to Open-Meteo for the weather. Everything else stays on your phone. The privacy policy has the details.

Why does the music visualizer ask for the microphone permission?

Android puts reading the sound your phone is already playing behind the same permission as the microphone. HoneyCrisp never opens the microphone and never records or stores audio.

Will it slow my phone down?

Every phone starts at full 3D. If frames start to drop, HoneyCrisp steps down one quality level at a time to stay smooth, and Settings, Performance lets you pick a lighter mode yourself.
