Axiris Launcher is an Android home-screen replacement built by an independent developer (m.i.n.a.r.). This page explains, in plain language, what data the app touches and what it does with it. The short version: Axiris has no server backend, no account, and no analytics or advertising SDK of any kind. Everything it reads from your device stays on your device, with two narrow, opt-in exceptions described below (weather and web search suggestions) — both off unless you turn them on, and neither carries any account or device identifier.
These are read locally to make the launcher work, and are never transmitted anywhere:
The list of apps on your device is read to build the dial and app list. It never leaves your phone.
If you grant notification access, Axiris reads which apps have active notifications (for the notification dots) and the currently playing media session (for the media controls under the clock). Notification content is never read, stored, or transmitted.
If you grant calendar access and enable the "next event" clock info, your next event's title and time are read to display it. Nothing is transmitted or stored outside your device.
If you grant contacts access and enable contacts in search, Axiris queries your contacts locally to show matches as you type. Nothing is transmitted.
If enabled, used exclusively to perform the "lock screen" gesture you assign to a swipe or tap action. It never reads screen content.
Handled entirely by Android's own biometric system. Axiris never sees or stores fingerprint/face data — it only receives a yes/no result from the OS.
If you set your wallpaper through Axiris, a copy is cached locally on-device to power the blur effect and adaptive colors. It is never uploaded.
Exporting or restoring a settings backup creates or reads a file you explicitly choose the location for (e.g. your Downloads folder or a cloud drive of your choice). Axiris itself never uploads this file anywhere.
If you enable the weather clock info, Axiris makes two requests to determine local conditions: an IP-based geolocation lookup (ipwho.is) to approximate your city, and a forecast request to Open-Meteo. Both are third-party services with their own privacy practices; Axiris does not send your name, an account identifier, or any device identifier to them — only your IP address, as with any internet request. This only happens while the weather info is turned on, cached for 30 minutes, and never happens otherwise.
If you enable web suggestions in Search settings, what you type in the search bar is sent, as you type it, to DuckDuckGo's autocomplete service to show live suggestions — the same way a browser's address bar does. This is off by default in the sense that it only runs while that setting is on, and nothing is sent unless you're actively typing a search. See DuckDuckGo's privacy policy for how they handle it on their end.
The optional one-time unlock is processed entirely by Google Play Billing. Axiris never handles your payment details — Google does, under its own privacy policy. Axiris only stores, on your device, whether the unlock is active.
Axiris includes an optional "Kids mode" that a parent can enable to restrict how apps are opened on a shared device. This is a local, on-device parental control — it does not involve collecting any additional data, from children or otherwise. Axiris is not directed at children and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone.
Everything described above lives in your device's local storage. Uninstalling Axiris (or clearing its app data from Android settings) permanently deletes all of it. There is nothing on our end to delete, because nothing is stored on our end.
If this policy changes, the "last updated" date above will change accordingly. Meaningful changes will also be reflected in the app's release notes.
