Launcher
The command desk. This is where apps, modules, focus tools, presets, and the wider RETUI atmosphere meet.
RETUI started with a home screen. It has grown into a set of Android tools that share the same obsession: local control, terminal interfaces, and software that still feels like it belongs to you.
Launcher, Files, and Keys are not side projects hiding under one app. Each has its own job, its own identity, and its own color. Together they are RETUI.
three apps / one phone
These are customized setups. They show how far RETUI can be shaped, not what the default Launcher looks like.
The command desk. This is where apps, modules, focus tools, presets, and the wider RETUI atmosphere meet.
The file manager gets its own space, its own permissions, and room for touch to be useful.
The project follows the cursor with terminal controls, local suggestions, and a keyboard that works beyond Launcher.
same skull / different tool
Teal / LauncherThe command-first Android home screen. Apps, modules, focus tools, presets, podcasts, and the terminal layer that started it all.
Yellow / FilesA standalone file manager built around browsing, previews, guarded operations, and touch-friendly command workflows.
Green / KeysA local-first Android keyboard with offline suggestions, glide typing, clipboard tools, emoji, and launcher theme sync.
Purple / ProjectThe wider project: writing, releases, experiments, shared design language, and the reason these apps belong together.
RETUI began as a continuation of T-UI Launcher. The story now reaches beyond the launcher, but it still starts with the piece of Android software I never really forgot.
