HomeTiles 앱
HomeTiles is a home screen made of large, plainly labelled tiles, with a phone dialler and amessaging app in the same package. It is meant for small screens, unsteady hands and eyes
that would rather not squint.
Every tile can be anything you like: an app, a contact, a shortcut, a widget, a function
such as the torch or Wi-Fi, or a jump to another screen. Grid size, tile size, colours and
labels are all yours to set.
What you get:
* A home screen of big tiles, freely assigned, with an optional header showing time, date
and battery.
* A dialler with a keypad, speed dial on 2 to 9, a grouped call log and its own in-call
screen. Taking over the phone role is offered, never forced.
* Messages: thread list, conversation and composing.
* Contacts with search, sorting by first name or surname, and favourites.
* An SOS button with a countdown that calls several numbers in turn and can send an
emergency message with your location.
* Reading help: hold a tile to have it read out or shown large, and page through long
lists with buttons instead of swiping.
* Export your setup to a file and read it back on your next phone.
* If the launcher ever fails to start, a simple fallback screen appears with phone,
contacts and settings, rather than a black device.
No account, no advertising, no tracking, and no internet permission at all.
HomeTiles is a free replacement for BIG Launcher, whose features are now spread across three
paid apps.
