10月20日的M.P.C - Minimal Home Launcher应用程序分析

M.P.C (MPC, monograph panel controller) is a minimal home screen launcher that turns your home screen into the control surface of a piece of music gear - a sampler, a mixer, a MIDI controller. PADS = APPS Tap to launch. Pull a pad down to launch a second app, with a rubber-band stretch as you drag. A pad lights up orange when that app has a notification. KNOBS = FOLDERS Tap and a popover opens right above the knob. The knobs really turn, and they spin with inertia when you flip between pages. FADERS = SLIDERS VOL (real media volume), BRT (screen brightness) and APP (a spring-loaded fader that rests in the middle - throw it to either end to launch an app and it snaps back). Tap VOL to mute, tap BRT to toggle auto-brightness. INSTRUMENT MODULES Weather - a 13-segment temperature ladder with an engraved condition mark. The lit tip is colour-coded by range, so you read the temperature at a glance. Pick a city; no location permission is ever requested. Steps - your progress toward a daily goal (8,000 by default) on the same ladder. It turns yellow the moment you hit the goal. Both resize from a single cell to a tall column, and the ladder stretches to fit. A DOT-MATRIX CALENDAR Today is the orange dot. Tap to open your calendar, and assign any action - notification shade, quick settings, an app - to each swipe direction. A BOARD YOU ARRANGE YOURSELF Every pad, fader, clock, calendar and instrument is a module on a cell grid. Long-press to enter edit mode, then drag to move, swap and span pages. Export your layout to a file and import it back - handy for a new phone. ALSO - Now playing, with transport controls, on your home screen (optional) - Your lock screen wallpaper set to the dot calendar, refreshed daily (optional) - Week starts on Sunday or Monday, your choice - Hands-on tutorial, animations on/off, notification banners - Built for Galaxy Z Fold (cover and main screens, with a two-up spread) Cream, ink black, yellow and orange. Every control clicks, snaps and glides. ACCESSIBILITY SERVICE USE M.P.C uses Android's accessibility service (AccessibilityService API) to open the notification shade and quick settings from the home screen. It runs only when you assign "open notifications" or "open quick settings" to a swipe or a pad. Turning it on is optional: the app explains what it is for and you enable it yourself, and you can turn it off at any time. M.P.C does not request permission to read screen content, and nothing about your activity is collected, recorded or sent anywhere. PRICING Everything is free for the first 4 days. After that, a single one-time purchase. No subscription.
