Warning

This version of Lightning Launcher will only launch VR apps correctly on Quest v66 or newer. If you have a Quest device, make sure it's up-to-date. (Info)

🔳 Shortcut Updates

  • Now that sideloaded apps can be properly added to the dock, Facebook and Monday shortcuts have been discontinued
    • They will continue to work for now if they're installed. You can uninstall them by uninstalling their replaced app from the default app library.
  • People, Horizon Feed, and App Library shortcut services have all been updated
    • Strings are extracted programmatically and should accurately reflect all languages
    • It will be much easier to update shortcuts if updates break them
    • New icons! Icons have the LightningLauncher logo on the background color of the respective app
    • You can add each shortcut to your dock as an alternate Lightning Launcher window; this doesn't require activating the respective shortcut service
    • You no longer need to activate a shortcut to uninstall it
  • A new "Store" shortcut has been added
