use, study, modify and distribute it at will.**

The Copyleft provision guarantees that these freedoms remain intact, ensuring that EasyLauncher will

## Permissions

EasyLauncher uses the following permissions:

- `android.permission.EXPAND_STATUS_BAR`
    - Allows an application to expand or collapse the status bar.
- `android.permission.QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES`
    - Allows query of any normal app on the device, regardless of manifest declarations. Used to
      show the apps list.
- `android.alarm.permission.SET_ALARM`
    - Allows an application to broadcast an Intent to set an alarm for the user. Used to open the
      default alarm app if no other clock app is set in the settings.
- `android.permission.REQUEST_DELETE_PACKAGES`
    - Required for issuing the request to remove packages. This does not allow the app to remove
      apps directly; this only gives the permission to issue the request.

    - Allows EasyLauncher to see usage of other apps to list last used apps first in the app list.
