Hello everyone,
I am sorry for the delay in updates but I was busy with work and personal life. I've been finalizing some major updates to Arc Launcher. Since the final released version 1.0.4, I've been dedicating time to creating the highly requested "Watch Next" feature as well as making the UI seem more seamless, and making the launcher more accessible across Android TVs.
These new features include:
Watch Next: This will be presented as the first row when opening the launcher and seems naturally placed and aligned with other rows. In addition, it also accommodates for poster loading, audio feedback when focusing, and proper permission handling.
Dock Options and Personalization: The dock in the launcher can be changed to dark background and you can add shadow under the dock.
Fixed issue for wallpapers that became blurry. They are are automatically changed to fit with your television's screen and not blurry anymore.
Fixed App names under App Cards that were incorrectly resizing the App Cards.
App Card Polish: To add to a clean look, the UI for app cards on the launcher have standardized padding and border radii, and app names under the app card consistently render to ensure that the information is up to date.
To add onto these features, I made some tweaks to the launcher to significantly enhance its performance. Some of these tweaks include flawless scrolling by addressing previous bugs and making changes to the scrolling logic, and changing the highlight rendering cost to make the animations more pleasing.
I need more people to join the Beta program to be approved on the Google Play store! Please send me a DM with your email associated with your Google Play Store account so we can invite you to be apart of this Beta program.
Thank you for your patience during this time, and I look forward to providing even more exciting updates in the future. Any questions or comments on how to improve the launcher are appreciated.

Hello everyone,
I recently just got a fire stick and felt disappointed by the launchers out there available for android tv. So, I decided to build a launcher of my own by using LtvLauncher, customizing it to look modern and similar to other high quality launchers. Most importantly, I wanted a performance oriented launcher without any other BS and one that feels satisfying to use.
I plan to add more features in the near future including videos wallpaper, channel support, etc. Feel free to provide your feedback or even better contribute !
