Notes
Folders for Personal and Work, private notes behind your fingerprint, and formatting from a glass bar.
The iPhone look,
on a keyboard phone.
A liquid glass home screen for Android keyboard phones like the Unihertz Titan 2. Start typing and it opens your apps, sends your messages and keeps your notes, to-dos and events. One app, one price, no subscription.
Most launchers make a keyboard phone feel like an old phone. Glass OS gives it the look of a new iPhone, and then lets you do almost everything without lifting your thumbs off the keys.
↗ The Hub
Every message, in one place
Swipe right from the Home Screen for all your notifications, sorted into Messages, Calls, Email and Social with a floating glass tab bar. Each card shows who it's from, with their picture, and you can flag, clear or open any of them.
- WhatsApp, Messages, email and more together
- Contact pictures on every card
- Swipe to flag or clear
↗ Replying
Reply without opening the app
Tap a conversation to see the whole thread in glass bubbles, then type your answer on the keys and press Enter. It goes through the app it came from, and the reply lands in the thread straight away.
↗ Just start typing
Your keyboard is the search bar
On the Home Screen, type an app's name and press Enter to open it. Start with a symbol to do more in one line: - adds a to-do, ! a note, * an event, @ a message and # a call. Dates like "tomorrow" or "friday 10am" just work.
- @ Message
- # Call
- - To-do
- ! Note
- * Event
- + Timer
- : Alarm
- ? Ask
↗ Widgets
Weather, music and your day at a glance
Glass bubbles on the Home Screen open into full widgets: the forecast for the next hours, what's playing with its controls, your next events, your to-do list and your latest notes. Each one shows a number badge when something needs you.
Three apps built in
Notes, To-do and Events, all in the same glass style and all reachable by typing.
To-do
Tick things off, see what's done, and add more from the Home Screen with a dash.
Events
A full month calendar or a list, using the calendars already on your phone.
↗ Make it yours
Wallpapers with a clock that has depth
The time sits behind the subject of your wallpaper, like the iPhone lock screen. Pick one of the built-in wallpapers or use your own photo, and Glass OS finds the subject for you. Your lock screen changes to match.
↗ Icon packs
Any icon pack, switched in a tap
Use any icon pack from the Play Store and every app on your pages and dock changes at once. You can also pick a different icon for a single app, or use one of your own photos.
↗ Your apps
Folders and pages, the iPhone way
Hold an icon to move it, drop one app on another to make a folder, and keep your favourites in the glass dock. Apps show a red number when they have new notifications, just like iOS.
↗ Settings
Simple settings, in the style you know
Light or dark, wallpaper, clock, icons, what shows on the Home Screen, your search engine, and encrypted backups you can restore on a new phone. Hold any empty part of the Home Screen to get here.
Why Glass OS
↗ Made for keyboard phones
Designed around the Titan 2's square screen and keys, so a thumb resting on the keyboard never taps the screen. It also works on tall touchscreen phones.
↗ Private by design
No account, no ads and no analytics. Your notes and messages stay on your phone, and backups are encrypted with a passphrase only you know.
↗ One price, free updates
£4.99 once. Every update is free, and installing it keeps all your notes, settings and layout.
↗ Made by one person
Built by someone who uses it every day on his own Titan 2. Email me with any problem and you'll get me, not a ticket system.

About the icons and wallpaper
The app icons and the sofa wallpaper you see in the videos and pictures on this page are not included with Glass OS. They're the beautiful Vision Icons set by designer Lokki, which you can get separately. Glass OS works with any icon pack and any photo you choose.

Which phones does it work on?
Any Android phone on Android 13 or later. It's designed and tested on the Unihertz Titan 2 Elite, and it also works on regular touchscreen phones, where you type with the on-screen keyboard instead.
Is it on the Google Play Store?
Yes, Glass OS is coming to the Google Play Store and is going through Google's testing now. Until then, you can buy it on Gumroad and install the app file directly, which takes about a minute. Setup then guides you through everything else.
How do I get updates?
Updates are free. When there's a new version, Gumroad emails you the new file, and installing it over the top keeps all your notes, settings and layout.
I use Keyboard Launcher Pro. Can I bring my things across?
Yes. Make a backup in Keyboard Launcher Pro, then choose Restore From Backup when Glass OS sets up. Your notes, to-dos and settings come across.
Does it change my phone's wallpaper?
Glass OS draws its own Home Screen wallpaper and sets your lock screen to the same picture so the two match. Your old wallpaper is still there if you go back to your previous launcher.
What does it do with my data?
Nothing leaves your phone except a weather lookup by approximate location, and a backup file if you make one. There's no account and nothing is sent to me. The privacy policy has the full detail.
