Lawnchair is a free, open-source home app for Android. Taking Launcher3—Android’s default home app—as a starting point, it ports Pixel Launcher features and introduces rich customization options.

This branch houses the codebase of Lawnchair 16, which is currently in development and is based on Launcher3 from Android 16. For Lawnchair 9 to 15, see the branches with the `9-` to `15-` prefixes, respectively.

## Features

- Material 3 Expressive theming that follows your wallpaper and system colors.
- At a Glance widget support, with integration for [Smartspacer](https://github.com/KieronQuinn/Smartspacer).
- QuickSwitch support for Android Recents integration on Android 15-16 (root required).
- Global search for apps, contacts, and web results from the home screen.
- Customization options for icon packs, fonts, and color settings.
