@vipulrawal Good ideas, we'll document your ideas. Broken links have been fixed - if you're still seeing the issue can you let us know?

@beforelabs Also another feature on notifications that could be super useful is pin select notifications and provide clear all except pinned ones feature.. and hoping the broken links gets fixed soon.. facing it often despite resetting all sorts of optimizations on my phone..

@vipulrawal Love the optimism, but as of now we're still discussing how to make that feature work and look. We do have a beta release out though!

@beforelabs Saw you liked the post today! Is that a signal that this feature is coming today? :)

@lwanlima Thanks for the reply, you can rename apps now with the pro version. We have tickets in our backlog for the other two; the latter we're adding to the launcher soon - not the next release but afterwards

@itorrentz Can you email us with more information about your request?

@beforelabs Hi Before Launcher Team! I have a request to add confirmation when clearing muted notifications. Thanks in advance 🙏🙏

@vipulrawal What kind of filter options were you thinking of? The first that comes to mind is simply grouping by app. Other options, grouping by hour or day, text search. Which would you use?

@beforelabs no grouping of notifications yet :( ? i so wish there were group, sort, filter buttons on the notification screen to allow better scanning of notifications.. especially needed when running backlogs on them and having to clear a much larger list without scrolling through each one

@tpbhagwat We're looking at resizing widgets for an upcoming release. No plans yet for list of all apps on the right side, that one is trickier - in the meantime you could play with smaller fonts?

@beforelabs Please provide an option for different font size for the Widgets and the App list on the Home screen (at least for the Premium users) at earliest.

@Arundasss This is already a feature in the launcher; the latest update will allow you to set even just a single folder or _only_ folders on your home screen if you want.

@beforelabs I absolutely love the launcher! I'm interested in purchasing the premium version. Could you please let me know if the upcoming update will include folders on the homescreen for premium version?"

Hey everyone, we have a new release rolling out! This time we weren't stuck in limbo 🙃 🚀 7.11.0 🌙 Dark / light toggle for app search 🐞 Fixes for lost purchase status 🐞 Other bug fixes and performance improvements

@estcommander Yes. In Settings -> Styles & Themes -> Background & Themes you can choose a preset theme or create one of your own. That includes changing the home screen color / setting a background and changing the text color.

@beforelabs any way to change the home screen color from blue to something else?

@vipulrawal We're actively investigating the notifications issue, it's high on our priority list.

@beforelabs Thanks.. + one of the features I miss from Niagara is to be able to see the notifications and smooth swipe them on the app lists and their buttery scroll of app list.. one that troubles me on both is that sometimes saved notifications end up broken links when trying to open them

@beforelabs using the launcher for a few hours and liking it.. 2 more things can make me switch: grouping notifications from same app instead of just sorting by time or more flex here on group and sort.. and smooth swipe of notifications in either direction..

@avelaz00 If you have everything configured, definitely check out this link since you're probably experiencing a Samsung specific problem. dontkillmyapp.com/samsung

@beforelabs Hello, love the launcher but have a big issue where notifications do not appear at all on the notification filter screen. Using S24 Ultra with latest version of android it has available. Permission are set correctly, rebooted, and switched filter on/off and nothing works.

@avelaz00 Hi Gerardo, make sure the Before Launcher is set as the default launcher, isn't running inside of a work profile, and battery optimizations are disabled. Usually you don't need to do the last one, but it can help on somne devices.

@Arundasss You can add folders to the home screen the same way you would add apps, this is already available in the app!

@beforelabs I bought premium it's amazing experience. Hope folders are coming in the homescreen.

🚀 7.12.0 🧠 Add notification filter advanced settings 🐞 Bug fixes and performance improvements The advanced settings allow overriding the notification filter so you can always enable, say, alarms, even if your preferred alarm app isn't in your filter exclusion list!

@vipulrawal Great ideas, we'll put them in our development backlog. Thanks for the suggestions!

And allowing swiping the whole group out at once to reduce the number of swipes to clear the notifications in a phased manner instead of one single clear all..

@CrabParlor We do intend on adding widget support, although we're not sure when it's coming yet.

@beforelabs Tried your app for the first time and absolutely loved it. Are there any plans to add widgets to the home screen? Being able to put my Calendar there for all my appointments and such would instantly place this as the minimalist launcher to rule them all.

It's finally here! 🚀 7.10.0 ❤️ Sort folder apps A-Z / Z-A from long-press menu 🐞 Fix recently opened apps not appearing in recents 🐞 Bug fixes and performance improvements Our next release will have an update to fix the lost pro status problem that has plagued us.
