## What it is
Lawnchair is a free, open-source home screen launcher for Android built on AOSP's Launcher3, porting Pixel Launcher features and adding rich customization. It offers Material You theming, At a Glance widgets, global search, and icon pack support without requiring root.

## Use cases
- replace the default android home screen with a customizable launcher
- get pixel launcher features on any android device
- customize android home screen icons fonts and colors
- use material you theming on a non-pixel phone
- add at a glance widget and global search to my home screen
- open source launcher without root

## When to choose
- you want a Pixel Launcher-like experience with extra customization on Android
- you want an open-source, free home app with icon packs, fonts, and theming options
- you want At a Glance, Smartspacer, or QuickSwitch integrations

## When to avoid
- you need an iOS-style or heavily different launcher paradigm rather than a Pixel-style home screen
- you want a fully stable release - the Lawnchair 16 branch is in development and may crash; stick to the 15 beta
- you are not on Android - it is an Android-only app
