Store descriptions

The short and full descriptions, as they read on Google Play.

Short description

A home screen made for game controllers, on phones and tablets. Touch works too.

Full description

Tokumo is a home screen made to be used with a game controller. Your games, video, music and apps are on one home screen, and touch works too.

Four tabs

  • PLAY shows your games, with game-streaming apps and the emulator apps Tokumo knows in rows of their own.
  • WATCH & LISTEN holds your video and music apps.
  • APPS lists every app from A to Z, with search and a jump by letter.
  • SYSTEM has shortcuts to your device’s settings, plus the Quick panel, Backup and Customize.

Made for a controller

  • Use a wireless or wired game controller, or one your phone or tablet clips into, and move with the D-pad or a stick.
  • On-screen prompts show which button does what, with letters or position dots to match your controller.
  • SYSTEM › Controller tests your buttons and sticks, maps a controller whose buttons act up, and copies a support report for email.

Your own order

  • Pin favorites to the front of their row, hide apps you don’t use, and use “Show in…” to move an app to the tab where it belongs.
  • Collections group apps into your own rows in PLAY or WATCH & LISTEN, or into folders in APPS, named with a keyboard made for the controller.
  • When Tokumo is your home screen, a shortcut another app offers becomes a tile once you choose Add. Games an emulator adds, or that you pick with Add a game… in its Options, get a row named after it.

Play time, if you want it

Usage access is an optional system setting, off until you turn it on. With it, Tokumo shows “Played 2h ago” for apps you opened anywhere, time played this week, and recently played apps first. Tokumo reads that history only on your device and never saves, uploads or shares it. Everything else works without it.

Quick panel, backup and looks

  • The Quick panel has brightness, volume and network. The brightness slider needs a permission to change system settings.
  • SYSTEM › Backup saves your setup to a file you keep. Restore shows what will change before anything is replaced.
  • Themes and backgrounds, your own wallpaper included, two tile shapes, interface sounds, haptics and reduced motion.

Basic is free

The basic launcher stays free, with no ads. It has everything above, with your first 2 collections, the Midnight Arcade and Carbon themes, and the My wallpaper and Aurora backgrounds.

Tokumo Pro is optional

Pro adds every collection past your first 2, 4 more themes (Ember, Glacier, Phosphor and Dynamic) and the Dynamic background, an aurora tinted by the app in focus.

  • $9.99 a year, after a 7-day free trial for first-time subscribers, when Google Play offers it. Google Play asks for a payment method when the trial starts and charges $9.99, plus any tax, when the 7 days end unless you cancel before then. The plan renews automatically every year until you cancel. Cancel any time in your Google Play subscriptions: Pro lasts to the end of the trial or the year you paid for. Uninstalling the app doesn’t cancel.
  • $29.99 once: Tokumo Pro Lifetime. One payment, no renewal. “Lifetime” means the life of Tokumo Pro, not yours or your device’s.

US prices. Google Play shows your price before you buy and adds tax where it applies. Tokumo Pro is sold only through Google Play. If Pro ends, nothing you set up is deleted.

Private by design

No sign-in, no account and no ads, and no analytics, tracking or crash-reporting code of its own. Your setup is saved on your device, and Tokumo sends nothing about you to us. Google gives us a record of each Pro order, and may give us crash reports if you share diagnostics with Google.

SYSTEM › Default home app opens your device’s home app setting: choose Tokumo there, or go back to your old home screen any time.
