Smart Launcher 6: A Powerful and Versatile Home Screen Replacement
After the Nova Launcher, we look at competent replacements for the oh-so-important home screen.Italian Smart Launcher 6 is a professional, powerful, and versatile alternative.
Smart Launcher has over ten million downloads on the Play Store and is regularly updated and maintained – as of October 10th, 2025, at the time of this writing. Version 6.5 of the app has been tested on a Pixel 10 Pro running the latest Android 16.
The complete version currently costs SEK 225. The price is higher than many other apps but is reasonable for a program that will be used many times a day for several years. A subscription option is also available, though it becomes more expensive in the long run, or you can simply use the free version. Those who purchase Smart Launcher 6 will receive the update to version 7 at no additional cost.
Smart Launcher neither worked nor looked as desired at first,but after a few hours of tinkering,the app became very nice and inviting. The home screen in the pictures is conventional (from old habit), but those who want can get more creative layouts – like the Smart Launcher subreddit shows.
