Square Home

Square Home at a glance

Square Home is an Android launcher that replaces the usual icon grid with a Metro-style home screen built around rectangular tiles. It suits users who want a more structured layout, quick access to frequently used apps, and more information visible without opening several screens. Developed by Total_Apps, it is listed in the Personalization category and has more than 5,000,000 installs.

Tile-based home screen

The launcher organizes apps and shortcuts into movable tiles, giving the home screen a dashboard-like appearance. Tiles can show app-related information such as unread counts and notifications, while the grid layout helps keep common tools in predictable positions. Its combination of horizontal and vertical scrolling provides room for many shortcuts without relying on a single crowded page.

Useful for different devices

Square Home is designed to remain practical across varied Android screen layouts, including larger displays, foldable phones, and Android TV-style devices. The app drawer can help bring frequently used applications forward, making it easier to find apps when the device contains a large collection. Gesture-based actions can also provide shortcuts for functions such as locking the screen or expanding notifications.

Ratings and overall fit

With a rating of 4.52 out of 5 from more than 103,000 reviews, Square Home has built a substantial user base. It is a strong match for people who prefer visual organization and tile-based navigation over the standard Android launcher. Users looking for a conventional icon layout may find its interface less familiar, but those who like compact dashboards and customizable home screens may find it easier to manage daily apps.
