      Just organization. If you keep a bunch of games on your phone a game launcher like Samsungs keeps them all together. Like a folder that updates itself almost.

      well if you use an android launcher that isn’t quite as graphical as most launchers are it’s quite a hassle to organize a folder with games in it. This is just a quick thing to open up and see only games on it

      no but after seeing how much data the samsung game-launcher collected from users it was my main motivation. I’ll change that to “A replacement for prorietary game-launchers”

      EDIT: changed it in the repo but I guess it will stay the same here

        Also worth mentioning that it’s for mobiles, specifically android. At first glance I thought it was similar to playnite and got excited.

        Edit : didn’t mean to insinuate that it’s not exciting as it is. Just wanted to point out that for people who are not looking for an android game launcher, this may not be useful.

          yeah you are right, i should have mentioned that. also why have a replacement for playnite? are you missing any features in playnite?

            No not at all actually. Playnite does everything I want it to, but was just excited at the prospect of trying out a potential alternative to see if it looks better. The default theme of playnite looks a bit bland and I’ve tried quite a few themes but just couldn’t settle on one.

    I tried it in my Samsung device but the app is just a blank backgroud with the name of the app in the top left corner. I´m missing something?
