What is Panels?

Tired of endlessly swiping through screens just to launch your favorite app or toggle a setting? We've all been there, fumbling around when you just need quick access. But what if your phone could adapt to you, putting everything important right at your fingertips? That's exactly where Panels - sidebar launcher shines, transforming your Android device into a true multitasking powerhouse.

This isn't just another launcher; it's a highly customizable Android sidebar that lives on the edge of your screen.

  • Floating Widgets: Open widgets in a resizable window that stays on top of other applications.
  • Intuitive Gestures: Assign custom swipe gestures to trigger specific apps, panels, or actions.
  • Deep Customization: Adjust panel size, position (left, right, bottom), colors, icon packs, and text sizes to match your style.
  • Smart Folders: Group similar apps or shortcuts into folders for a cleaner, more organized sidebar.
  • A-Z App Drawer: A single tap gives you the quickest way to find and launch any installed app.
