ARK-launcher is an open-source (Apache-2.0) Android app by jrs8205. The APK we host is 4.5 MB, it needs Android 11 or newer, and it declares 13 permissions.
The file on this page is ARK-launcher 0.9.5, 4.50 MB, and it installs on Android 11 and newer.
We compared the signing certificate of this build with the certificate recorded the first time org.arkikeskus.launcher entered the site, and published both the file's SHA-256 and the certificate's fingerprint above so you can check the download yourself. That comparison says the file was not repackaged by someone else; it is not a review of what the app does.
The manifest inside the APK declares 13 permissions, including access to your contacts, approximate location and phone state. Android asks you to approve those the first time the app needs them.
Its licence is Apache-2.0. We took this build from F-Droid, and the source for this exact version is linked below.
We do not show a star rating or an install count for this page: we have no measured figure for either, and a number we cannot source is worth less than an empty field.
