What is KISS Launcher?
KISS (“Keep It Simple, Stupid”) is a launcher built around search. Instead of swiping through pages of icons, you type a few letters and KISS shows the app, contact or setting you are looking for, learning from your habits over time. It weighs only a few hundred kilobytes and never connects to the internet.
Key Features
- Search apps, contacts and settings instantly
- Learns which results you use most
- Extremely small and fast
- No internet permission
- Themes, favourites and gestures
Getting Started
Set KISS as your home app and give it a week; most people find typing faster than hunting for icons once they get used to it.
