What's New in v3.4.0

Focus, a calmer surface, and a drawer swipe that actually works. • The app-drawer swipe is reliable now. It no longer loses the first swipe to the system's navigation gesture, a quick flick works as well as a slow drag, and the drawer follows your finger instead of snapping open. • Zen Mode can switch on Do Not Disturb for the length of a session and put your previous setting back afterwards. Off by default; enable it under Settings → Zen Mode. • Hide and rename apps from the drawer's long-pres

About Entropy's Defiance

Entropy's Defiance is a minimalist Android launcher and task manager built around five time horizons: Today, This Week, This Month, This Year and This Life. Tasks are stored in plain JSON, so they sync cleanly with Syncthing or any folder-sync tool, and a small terminal UI is available for editing the same file from a Linux laptop. Features * Time-horizon task list — peek at the next horizon, swipe a task left or right to move it across horizons * Minimalist home screen with a focused task view * App drawer with frequency-ranked apps and instant text search * Calendar widget with free-time calculation across selected calendars * Zen Mode for distraction-free focus on a single task * Optional double-tap to launch the dialer * Accent colour — follow your system's Material You palette, pick a preset, or set a custom colour * Left-handed mode — mirror the controls to the left * Plain-JSON storage that syncs over Syncthing * Guided intro to the five-horizon philosophy — replayable from Settings → Introduction Permissions * Query all packages — needed to list installed apps in the drawer * Read calendar — only used for the calendar widget; you can deny it * Set wallpaper — used by the launcher to restore your wallpaper * Bind device admin — only requested if you opt in to Zen Mode's Do Not Disturb integration The app is offline-first and contains no trackers, no analytics, and no ads.
