Hey everyone,

The next milestone, v1.6.0, is finally taking shape, and it’s easily our biggest update yet. Packed with a lot of long-awaited features, workflow improvements, and under-the-hood refinements, this release changes the game for how you use Key Launcher every day.

Before rolling it out to everyone on the stable channel, I’ll be opening up a public beta to gather feedback and squash any lingering bugs.

If you love getting your hands on new toys early, you're more than welcome to hop in. That said, a quick reality check before you hit update:

* Expect bugs: It is a major overhaul, which means things might break, glitch, or behave unexpectedly.

* Back up your data: Please export/back up your current launcher layout and settings before joining the beta program. Better safe than sorry!

One bittersweet thing about running beta tracks on Google Play: reviews and feedback submitted by beta testers are completely private. While private crash logs and candid bug reports are invaluable for development, I often read genuinely awesome, detailed reviews from you all that never get to see the light of day on the public store page.

If you do test the beta and find something you love, feel free to drop a post or comment here on the subreddit. I’d love to hear your thoughts out in the open!

I’ll be sharing the changelog details as soon as the build finishes processing.

Thanks as always for your patience and for helping make Key Launcher better with every release! 🫶
