Does anyone here remember the Aviate launcher?

It had an æsthetically pleasing home screen that would adapt to different use cases based on your location, time of day, and connected peripherals.

I loved it so much. Until Yahoo bought it, made it worse, and then sunset it.

A picture of three smartphones with Aviate launcher installed.

The first smartphone shows the "Morning" screen. It lists the following information: "You slept 7 hours 35 minutes", "Turn on Do not distub", "Alarm set to 8pm", "18 minutes to Work with heavy traffic" — as well as a day's agenda.

The second smartphone shows the main screen with the background picture and few icons in the dock.

The third smartphone shows the list of all applications, separated into categories: Productivity, Social, Restaurant, Music, News.

The picture also made me remember using Foursquare back in the day. I used to feel like I possess some secret knowledge, since it was not popular in Russia, and barely anyone used it :blobcatgiggle:

Nikita, it was popular in Russia around me. I checked in multiple times a day. Battles for mayorships were intense too.
