Feature description

First of all, I would like to express my gratitude to the developers for their amazing work on EasyLauncher. Your dedication to improving user experience is greatly appreciated, and I am truly grateful for all the effort you put into making this launcher better with each update.

I have a feature suggestion that I believe could enhance the user experience even further. It would be great to have an optional feature that displays recently installed apps at the top of the app drawer list. This section could be activated via the settings, allowing users to easily find and access new apps without scrolling through the entire app list.

To make this feature even more flexible, it would be wonderful to have additional customization options, such as:

  • Setting a maximum number of recently installed apps to be shown at the top.
  • Defining the duration an app remains in the "recently installed" section (e.g., a few days, a week, etc.).
  • A toggle to easily enable or disable this feature according to user preference.

Furthermore, if possible, it would be beneficial if the launcher’s settings backup feature could also include the list of recently installed apps. This would ensure that if a user resets their settings and then restores from a backup, the "recently installed" section would be restored to its previous state, maintaining continuity.

Additional information

This suggested feature aims to streamline the user experience by providing quick access to newly installed apps. It would make EasyLauncher even more intuitive and user-friendly, aligning perfectly with your goal of offering a seamless navigation experience.
