Quick answer

One icon, many shortcuts — a customizable command center for your home screen.

Not App turns your home screen icon into a customizable command center instead of cluttering it with dozens of separate app shortcuts. Configure it once, tap it endlessly.

Choose your interaction style:

LIST mode (default): tapping the icon opens your full shortcut list in a bottom sheet. Long-press for direct OS shortcuts to individual items.

DIRECT mode: tapping the icon launches your primary shortcut instantly, no UI, no delay. Long-press for shortcuts to your backups and alternatives, managed by the OS.

MIX mode: tapping the icon launches your primary shortcut instantly, same as DIRECT — but your full shortcut list also opens on top of it, so the rest of your items stay one tap away. Long-press still works too. Swipe the list away and it collapses into a small floating button instead of closing, so you can bring it back with one tap — drag it onto the on-screen trash target to remove it for good.

Features: * Unlimited shortcuts: app launches, URLs, and custom intents * Three interaction modes: LIST for exploration, DIRECT for speed, MIX for both at once * Drag-to-reorder your shortcuts * Customizable icons: emoji badges, colored labels, or the original app icons * An optional floating peek button that keeps your list one tap away in LIST/MIX mode * An optional row of recently-used apps at the top of the list * 8 launcher icon styles to choose from in Settings * Pin any single shortcut as its own standalone home-screen icon * Smart sharing: share text directly to your shortcuts, with {{word}} placeholders in URLs to insert the shared content * Import/export your entire configuration as JSON * Syncs with Android App Shortcuts for long-press menu support

Not App has no analytics, no crash reporting, no ad SDKs, and no telemetry of any kind. It collects, transmits, and shares nothing — everything you configure stays on your device.

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.
