This is our active development sprint. The goal is to address key bugs and deliver a highly polished user experience.

- Proper icon swipe gestures
- Folder "cover" mode
- App drawer tabs
The Android 16 rebase
This is the massive, foundational undertaking to migrate our codebase to the latest Android 16 (AOSP) source. Its completion will be the foundation for our Lawnchair 16 release.
Status: Actively in progress, led by a core community contributor.
Long term or blocked
Highly-requested features that are blocked by external dependencies or require significant research.
- Widget Stacking: A highly complex feature requiring deep architectural investigation.
