What is SwipeRail?

SwipeRail is a lightweight A–Z app rail for Android. It works alongside your existing launcher — it doesn’t replace it — and focuses on fast, one-handed access, especially on large phones.

Why use SwipeRail instead of a traditional launcher?

Most Android launchers rely on grids, folders, or search. SwipeRail removes that friction by letting you drag your thumb to any app instantly.

A complement to your launcher, not a replacement

Unlike full launcher replacements such as Niagara Launcher, SwipeRail leaves your home screen alone. It sits alongside your launcher, focused purely on speed and one-handed access.
