Overview

An Android launcher that replaces the home screen with a prompt: no icons, no grid, no widgets, no app drawer. Nothing opens unless you name it, and the half-second it takes to type that name is the friction that breaks the reflex. The vocabulary is closed and auditable — twenty-six verbs — with a single explicit door out to Termux.

Key features

01A closed 26-command vocabulary that fits on one screen
02Scripts: record a sequence of commands and name it as a new word
03File navigation and app lookup straight from the prompt
04Explicit Termux gateway for running a real shell
