Launcher

The home screen and main interface for Mecha Comet

The Launcher is the home of your Mecha Comet device. It's the first thing you see when you turn on the screen, and it's where you start all your activities.

We designed the launcher to be simple and easy to use, while making the most of the display. It connects you to your apps, notifications, and device status in one place.

What it does

App Drawer

The launcher houses your App Drawer, giving you quick access to all your installed applications.

Notification Bar

Stay updated with a clean notification bar that shows you important alerts and messages without cluttering your view.

Informative Widgets

We use a "widgets" layout to show you helpful information at a glance. You can see things like:

  • Wi-Fi Connection: Check your signal strength and status.
  • Performance: See how your device is running.
  • Memory Usage: Keep track of available resources.

Dynamic Features

The launcher is smart. It reacts to what you do with the device.

Event-Based Widgets

When you attach a hardware extension—like a gamepad or keyboard—the launcher knows. The interface updates automatically, showing you a widget or status indicator that reflects the new hardware. This makes the device feel responsive, adapting to how you are using it in the moment.
