Description

Bar Launcher - Launch apps from anywhere!

Bar Launcher is a small and awesome tool with which you can launch your favorite apps from the notification area. Once you've tried it, you don't want to miss it anymore!

Your device, your apps: Simply add your favorite apps to the notification from the configuration app and have quick access to them for ever.

Rearranging, the easy way: Just long-press an app in the configuration app and you can drag and drop it to swap the apps.

Swipe to delete: Swipe an app to the left or the right in the configuration app to delete it from the notification, and if you change your mind, just undo the action.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

5 ★Thank you! Perfect! I do not lose my pages anymore. I use this app every single time I do anything on my phone. If I could only have one app, this would be it! It doesn't get in my way like all the others I tried, either. Edit: 2020: I've had this marvelous app since 2015. It is the 1st app I install. Thank you dev- you are marvelous, too! Please ignore idiocracy crowd who either are too dumb to use this app or are of the 'gimme more, never enough' crowd. Please bring back 5+ per row:(
5 ★Developer, the app is so fantastic. But the TAP THE ARROW is not so cool. Can you please add a slide left or right to move from one row to another. Pliz. Tapping is a bit boring.
5 ★New version is great, what are people complaining about? Perfect for quick access to your most-used apps. New version was MUCH better: stacked rows, different icon sizes. Why revert back to the original when only a few people complained? Never take away added features, they improved the app. I guess people are lazy and didn't want to re-add all their apps.
5 ★That is very rare. Good job. The white background wasn't a deal breaker and I fixed the update bug without issue, but you still reverted everything for everyone else who disliked it. Kudos. Keep up the work.
3 ★I love this app, one of my most used. Only reason I am giving it 3 not 5 stars is because of it being on my lock screen. I have...never...used it from there, so it basically junks it up. If it became an option to have it on my lock screen, I would give it 5 stars. :)
3 ★For one brief day this was the *best* app-in-notification-bar app for Android. Sadly the maintainer changed it back to the old version, which is just mediocre. Why the improved version was really an improvement? Multiple rows were displayed stacked on top of each other. This meant that with a single swipe you could get to your top 10 (or 15, 20, maybe even 25?) apps. The old version, which is what you'll get if you download now, forces you to clumsily swipe through the rows one at a time. Honestly, that's crap. Bring. Back. Stacked. Rows. Even as an option in the 'old' version, I don't care about anything else. Black background, icon size, whatever. Stacked rows, or I'm going back to 'Custom Notification' or whatever that was called.
5 ★I have now used this fabulous app for over a year and it's suddenly struck me that life on my tablet would be much less efficient without it. I love the fact that it sits up on the notification bar out of the way. I tried bubble short cuts but could never settle on where to float the short cut on my screen. The swipe short cuts are a little awkward and I could never decide which edge of the screen to set the swipe from. It's just such a natural action to swipe down your launcher from the notification bar.
5 ★First app I've ever rated. I have a lot of apps; I only use a few of them frequently. I like my home screen clean. This app allows me to have my most used apps close but not visible. Thanks, good job!
5 ★Smallest, easiest, extremely functional. But why doesn't it start automatically when the phone starts ? There's no "start with boot" option in the settings. Have to start it manually every time I restart the phone. Irritating flaw in an excellent app.
5 ★You are awesome sir! Everything is working beautifully, just as before. This is one of my favorites because it gives quick access to my frequently used apps. Quick response and fixes to any concerns that arise. Can't wait to see the new version.
4 ★The bar launcher keeps disappearing and removing all of my apps😬. It keeps saying no apps in my notification's bar. Please fix this so I can continue using it. Thanks.
3 ★Works great, when it works. Always disappears from my notification bar after a while then have to turn off/on again to reappear.
