A predictive home screen for Android. Instead of dozens of icons, AZ shows the five/six apps you're most likely to open now. Write a letter anywhere to find anything else. A spiritual successor to Nokia's Z Launcher. No ads, no account, learns on your phone.

Hi Product Hunt 👋
I’m Rodrigo, a developer from Brazil.
In 2014 Nokia made Z Launcher: a home screen that showed only the few apps you were about to use, and let you write a letter with your finger to find anything else. Nokia dropped it in 2016 and took it off the store, but I kept using it, installing the APK I had saved on every new phone. It was made for the phones of 2016, though, and on today’s taller screens it looked stretched and out of place.
So I rebuilt it from scratch. AZ Launcher keeps what made Z special, for today’s Android:
• Predicts your next apps from the time, place, Wi-Fi and headphones
• Write a letter anywhere to find apps, contacts, WhatsApp chats and the web
• Missed calls and your next event, right next to the clock
• Widgets, icon packs and six languages
Everything it learns stays on your phone: no account, no ads, no analytics. And it’s free.
I built AZ with the help of AI tools. The ideas, the decisions and the testing on real phones are mine.
I’d love to hear from you:
– Did you use Z Launcher back then?
– What would make you switch your home screen?
I’ll be here all day. Ideas are always welcome at azlauncher.app/ideas 🙏
