Nova Launcher: Risen, but at what cost?

Nova has returned, but it is no longer the independent launcher you loved. Now owned by analytics-giant Branch and managed by Instabridge, recent reports confirm the integration of Ad SDKs and tracking backends — even in the paid Prime version.

Can you trust a data-monetization company with your sensitive accessibility data? BliVI UI is independent, built for the community, and puts your privacy before "marketing strategies."

Why BliVI UI?

Built by a Visually Impaired Developer

I created BliVI UI because my previous launcher was discontinued, and existing options treat accessibility as an afterthought. I built what I needed — and what you deserve.

You're Blind, Not Stupid

BIG Launcher traps you in oversized buttons. BaldPhone limits your options. BliVI UI respects your intelligence with power user features and accessibility.

Why Choose? Get Both.

Why pick between gestures OR buttons? BliVI UI's hybrid mode lets you mix both in the same layout. Start with familiar buttons, add gestures when you're ready.

Grow at Your Pace

From 2 zones to 16. From buttons to 80 gestures. One app, infinite possibilities. BliVI UI grows with you — not against you.

UNIQUE HYBRID CAPABILITY

The Only Launcher With These Features

No competitor offers this combination. BIG Launcher? Buttons only. BaldPhone? Buttons only. Nova? Dead.

Why $15 vs BIG Launcher's $10?

BliVI UI offers capabilities BIG Launcher doesn't have:

  • Hybrid Mode: Mix gestures + buttons (BIG = buttons only, forever)
  • Scalability: 9→12→16 zones (BIG = fixed grid, can't grow)
  • 112 Gesture Mappings: vs BIG's ~12-20 buttons
  • Growth Path: Start simple, adopt gestures at your pace (BIG users are stuck)

Frequently Asked Questions

BliVI UI is the only accessible launcher with hybrid mode. BIG Launcher and BaldPhone lock you into buttons-only — you can never graduate to gestures. BliVI UI lets you mix both: start with familiar Large Buttons, gradually convert zones to gestures at your own pace. Plus, we offer 112 gesture mappings (4×4 grid) vs BIG's ~12 buttons.

Absolutely. After Nova's September 2025 shutdown, BliVI UI is the only gesture-based launcher built for accessibility. We offer gesture control (like Nova) but with TalkBack support, high contrast design, and haptic feedback from the ground up. Plus, our hybrid mode lets you keep some buttons for critical apps while using gestures for everything else.

Install BliVI UI and use all features for 7 days — no payment required. After 7 days, you'll need to purchase a $15 license key to continue using advanced features. The trial is feature-limited (not time-limited), meaning you can keep the basic launcher but lose hybrid mode, extra grids, etc. without a license.

Licenses are $15 per device. If you switch devices (e.g., upgrade phone), contact us and we'll transfer your license to the new device for free. We don't support using one license on multiple devices simultaneously.

BliVI UI supports Android 8.0 (Oreo) and later. It's optimized for Android 14-16 but runs smoothly on older devices. We test on Pixel, Samsung, OnePlus, and Motorola devices.

Yes! BliVI UI includes auto backup/restore via Google Drive or local storage. Each grid layout has its own backup file that auto-restores when you switch layouts. You can also manually export/import configurations across devices.
