About this app

Remember when phones were fun?

Y2K Launcher turns your home screen back into the glossy, glassy, candy-coated world of the late 2000s. Real skeuomorphic design — depth, shine, texture and shadow — rebuilt as a fast retro launcher for modern Android. No flat design. No minimalism. Pure 2010-flagship energy.

✦ A REAL RETRO OS, NOT A SKIN
• Glossy 3D app icons with genuine depth and drop shadows
• Classic wobble edit mode — long-press and your icons jiggle while you rearrange
• Multiple home pages with a page manager: add, reorder, and set your main page
• Glass-and-metal dock with live drag-and-drop swapping
• Folders lined with classic linen texture

✦ SKEUOMORPHIC ICONS & ICON PACKS
• A growing library of hand-polished glossy icons for popular apps
• Every other app gets an automatic acrylic Y2K tile — no naked icons, ever
• Supports your installed third-party icon packs

✦ WIDGETS WITH SHINE
• Retro 3D flip clock — big flapping digits, old-school cool
• Glossy weather widget with light-catching numerals
• Regular Android widgets are welcome on the grid too

✦ WALLPAPERS & LIVE WALLPAPERS
• Built-in gallery of Frutiger Aero and Y2K aesthetic wallpapers
• Video live wallpapers that play when you come home, then rest — easy on your battery by design

✦ FAST UNIVERSAL SEARCH
• Swipe to a dedicated search page and launch anything in a couple of keystrokes

✦ MAKE IT YOURS
• Light and dark looks with period-correct materials: linen, brushed metal, pinstripes, gel buttons
• Choose the typeface and text weight for the entire launcher
• Retro-themed settings, menus and dialogs — the nostalgia goes all the way down

✦ NOSTALGIC OUTSIDE, MODERN UNDERNEATH
Y2K Launcher is a complete home screen replacement: set it as default and your whole phone slips into the 2000s aesthetic — smooth, quick, and built for today's Android.

If you miss the era of gloss, glass and gel — the frutiger aero years, when every pixel looked touchable — welcome home.

so far seems pretty well polished. I enjoy the old 2000s vibe that it captures. Just dont like how much stuff is locked behind a pay wall, but you can get past that pretty easily. all in all a good app

it's good you have to pay if you want it to have a Y2K like style but it looks nice any way, wish it had the old YouTube icon though..
