Spotlight: Sky Launcher optimizes the experience of using your smartphone

Developer: Launcher & Theme Team	Download: Android
Category: Personalization	Price: Free

Sky Launcher is an underdog of a launcher which shines among its peers with its simple and sophisticated rework of the Android homescreen. This launcher isn't about mind-blowing animations and effects, it actually goes for an understated look, which makes sense.

Sky Launcher promotes optimized smartphone usage through built-in tools and widgets for organizing your apps into categories, keeping track of your battery life, cleaning up junk files, and security features. Smart Folder automatically arranges your apps based on their functionality.

On top of its quick cleaning, weather, clock, and power saving widgets, the launcher has low memory consumption, making it appropriate for older Androids. Some of you will also love the Hide Apps feature, which lets you lock apps with a swipe gesture.

Another nice tidbit is the search bar, which lets you swipe up on the homescreen to search and download apps.

Sky Launcher is free and compatible with devices running Android 2.3 or later. You will see some advertisements when you're changing themes. Speaking of personalization, the launcher comes with added live wallpapers as well.
