Liquid Launcher
An Android home screen with refracting liquid glass and a dynamic island.
A full Android launcher you can set as your Home app. Its glass panels really refract whatever sits behind them, and an island around the front camera springs open for music, charging, the silent switch and notifications, then closes itself.

How it’s built
