Quick answer

Organize and launch Android apps with tags and usage-based sorting.

Pixel Tag Drawer is a companion app for Android. It lists the launchable apps on your device and lets you organise and filter them with your own tags. It does not act as a home launcher; you keep using it alongside your existing launcher.

Features:

* App list: shows launchable apps as "all apps", a selected tag, or "no tag", in a list or grid view. * Tags: assign multiple tags to one app; create, rename and delete tags, and add or remove a tag on many apps at once. * AND filter: show only the apps that have all of the selected tags. * Search: filter the list by app name or package name. * Sorting: by name, by most recently launched, by launch count, or by a usage-based "recommended" order. * Pinned shortcuts: add a home-screen shortcut that opens a specific tag filter or the "no tag" filter.

Usage access (optional):

* The "recently launched", "launch count" and "recommended" sort orders use Android's UsageStats and UsageEvents, aggregated on the device (last 30 days for the first two, last 7 days for "recommended"). * These orders require granting "usage access" to the app manually in Android settings. There is no runtime permission dialog for it. * If usage access is not granted, name sorting, search, tag organisation and tag filtering still work, and the usage-based orders fall back to name order.

Privacy and network:

* Works locally on the device. The app does not request the INTERNET permission and has no code that sends data to an external server. * No account, no cloud sync. * No ads, no analytics, no tracking.

Requires Android 8.0 (API 26) or later. Developed and tested on a Pixel 10a; behaviour on other devices or launchers is not verified.

What’s new

Fixed an issue where deleting a tag could leave a stale active filter and make the app list appear empty.
Bulk tag assignment no longer keeps references to a tag that was deleted before applying the change.
Bulk tag assignment is now atomic, so interruption cannot leave only part of the selected apps tagged.

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.

Data safety

  • Every file is checked against its published SHA-256 before it is listed.
  • Files are scanned for malware on every update.
  • The permissions each app requests are listed on its own page.
  • Read the full safety policy for how we test, flag, and delist files.
