The basic idea...

"The basic idea behind open source is very simple. When programmers on the Internet can read, redistribute, and modify the source for a piece of software, it evolves. People improve it, people adapt it, people fix bugs. And this can happen at a speed that, if one is used to the slow pace of conventional software development, seems astonishing...
...The Open Source pages exist to make this case to the commercial world."    - Introduction to Open Source - www.opensource.org

* FAST App Search Tool

market download Find and Launch Applications fast and for free with a small App that needs not a single permission!

Just type in a fraction of the name of the App you want to launch - most of the time 3 chars are enough.

If you have an Device with Jelly-Bean or newer you can use the Google Now gesture to open this app.

The app is smaller than 70kb

FAST is an recursive acronym for FAST App Search Tool

You can choose between 3 Themes:
#1 dark
#2 light
#3 transparent ( try this with some Live Wallpaper :)

A single click launches the App - a long click gives you 3 Options:
#1 Go to the App details
#2 Open the App in Google Play
#3 Open the App as a Notification for FAST access at a later time

The App is GPLv3 - you can find the source on GitHub: https://github.com/ligi/FAST
