Kore Launcher

A privacy-first Android home launcher built by Aeroloom Studio. Everything you customize, search, and organize stays on your device.

$3.99 One-time purchase. No subscriptions, no ads, no in-app purchases, no trackers.

Kore Launcher is a paid application. Your $3.99 buys the full app outright. We do not run advertising, we do not sell data, and we do not embed third-party analytics or tracking SDKs. This page explains, in plain language, exactly what data the app touches, which Android permissions it requests, why each one exists, and the terms under which you use the app.

Privacy Policy

Last updated 20 June 2026

Aeroloom Studio ("we", "us") makes Kore Launcher ("the app"). We designed Kore to keep your data on your device. This policy describes what the app accesses, how it is used, and the limited cases where data leaves your phone — always at your request.

1. The short version

No accounts. You don't sign in. There is no Kore cloud profile.
No ads, no trackers, no analytics SDKs. We don't profile you.
On-device by default. Layout, settings, usage counts, app lock secrets and search indexes are stored locally in the app's private storage.
You hold the keys. Optional features (calendar, contacts, weather, AI organizing) only run after you grant the matching permission, and you can revoke them anytime in Android Settings.

2. Data the app processes on your device

The following never leaves your phone. It is read at runtime to render the launcher and is stored only in Kore's private app storage (Android DataStore/internal files):

Installed apps — names, icons and categories, to draw the home screen, dock, folders and app drawer.
Your layout & preferences — home pages, folders, dock, theme, wallpaper choice, fonts, gestures and toggles.
Usage counts — how often and at what time of day you open apps, used to rank suggestions and (if enabled) Core Intelligence. Stored as simple local counters.
App-lock secrets — if you lock an app, your PIN/pattern is stored locally in hashed form and never transmitted.
Custom icons & imported fonts/wallpapers — copied into Kore's private folder so they survive restarts.

3. Data that can leave your device — only when you ask

Weather widget — if you add the weather widget/rain effect, the app sends your approximate (coarse) location to the public Open-Meteo API to fetch the forecast. No identifier is attached. If you never enable it, no network call is made.
AI "Organize into folders" (optional) — only if you paste your own AI provider key (e.g. xAI/Grok or OpenAI). When you tap "Organize now", the app sends the list of app names (no personal data, no usage stats) to that provider using your key, to suggest categories. Leave the key empty and all organizing runs fully on-device.
Theme Studio import — themes you choose to import are read from files you select. Nothing is uploaded by the app.

We, Aeroloom Studio, operate no servers that receive your personal data. The two integrations above talk directly from your device to the third party you chose; their handling is governed by their own policies.

4. What we never do

We don't sell, rent or share your data with data brokers.
We don't show ads or include advertising IDs.
We don't track your location in the background.
We don't read message or call content. Notification access (if you enable badges) is used only to count unread notifications per app.

5. Children

Kore Launcher is a general-purpose utility and is not directed at children under 13. We collect no personal information from anyone.

6. Your controls

Revoke any permission anytime in Android Settings → Apps → Kore Launcher → Permissions.
Clearing the app's storage erases all local data instantly.
Uninstalling removes everything Kore stored.
