#Lucky Launcher: fast Android app launcher 🚀

#What is Lucky Launcher?

Lucky Launcher is a free Android home screen replacement, not a web browser. It lets you choose how the home screen and app drawer look, search installed apps quickly, and organize shortcuts with tags. You can switch back to your previous launcher using Android settings.

Feeling lucky? 🍀 Lucky Launcher transforms how you launch, search, organize, and clean up apps on Android.

Your launcher runs all day. It controls app launches, search, gestures, layout—even subtle tracking. Most people never change it because manufacturers prefer you stay on their ad and data stack. You can switch in one tap.

Lucky Launcher gives you speed, privacy, and control. 100% free. No ads. No tracking.

Lucky Launcher is free, with no in-app purchases or ads. Install it from the official Google Play page.

#Is Lucky Launcher the same as HuBrowser?

No. Lucky Launcher replaces your home screen and app drawer; HuBrowser is a separate Android web browser. You can use both together.
