50 Million on Google Play. Thank you.
Today, Google Play shows 50M+ downloads for Smart Launcher. For us, this is one of those moments that feels both huge and simple at the same time. Huge because 50 million is a number we never take for granted. Simple because the first thing we want to say is just: thank you.
More than a number
A milestone like this is never just a number on a store page. Behind it there are years of work, experiments, redesigns, support emails, bug reports, feature requests, and long release cycles. More importantly, there are millions of people who decided to make Smart Launcher their home screen.
In these years, what started as a different way to organize apps grew into a fuller home screen experience with search, widgets, customization, and features designed to make everyday use easier. But even as Smart Launcher changed, the original idea stayed the same: Android should feel faster, tidier, and more personal.
Speed matters, of course. But for us it was never only about speed. It was also about beauty, clarity, and control. Your home screen is the part of phone you see and touch the most. It should help you focus, not get in your way.
Smart Launcher is still a community-driven project, and this milestone belongs to the community as much as it belongs to us. Many of the improvements we made started from you. That is still how we work today: we build, we listen, we improve, and then we do it again.
That part never changed, and we hope it never will.
What comes next
50 million on Google Play does not feel like a finish line. It feels like responsibility.
More people now rely on Smart Launcher every day, and that pushes us to do better with every release. We want Smart Launcher to become more flexible, more polished, and even more capable, while keeping the clarity that made people choose it in the first place.
There is still a lot we want to build, and we are excited for what comes next.
Thank you
To everyone who installed Smart Launcher, left a review, sent feedback, or recommended it to a friend: thank you.
You made it possible for an independent, passionate team to keep working on the kind of software we believe in.
