Pro & Free Trial
Key Launcher is free to use, with a generous trial of all premium features and an optional one-time or annual upgrade for power users.
The Free Trial
New installs normally receive a 14-day in-app trial of all Pro features, followed by 7 days of grace. Earlier installs keep their original 30-day trial and 14-day grace period. Your exact remaining time is shown in the app; trial terms for new installs may vary by offer.
After the trial ends, Key Launcher never deletes your configuration. It transitions through three states:
| State | Period | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Trial Active | Your assigned trial period | Full Pro access. Edit everything freely. |
| Grace Period | Your assigned grace period | Read-only. Settings you already configured keep working, but you can't add new Pro items. Backup & Restore remains available. |
| Trial Expired | After grace | Pro visual effects and extra widget stack slots stop applying but remain saved. Purchasing Pro restores them. Existing Private Vaults remain accessible so you can always reach your data. |
Because your configuration is preserved (not erased), upgrading at any point — even months later — restores everything you had set up.
Pro Plans
Open the upgrade screen from Settings > Upgrade to Pro, or by searching pro / upgrade in Universal Search. Two plans are offered through Google Play:
- Annual: A yearly subscription, best for long-term users. May include an introductory free-trial period as shown on the purchase sheet.
- Lifetime: A single one-time payment — pay once, enjoy Pro forever.
The purchase sheet always spells out the exact terms before you commit — the trial length, the price after it, and that the subscription renews automatically until cancelled. Cancel before the trial ends and you are not charged.
Billing, renewals, and cancellations are managed in Google Play Store > Payments & subscriptions.
The in-app trial and any Google Play introductory trial on the annual plan are separate. Check the app for your in-app trial length and the purchase sheet for any Google Play offer.
What Pro Unlocks
The free plan is fully usable, but caps a few features. Pro removes those caps and unlocks extras:
Features that are fully Pro-only (free plan can't use them at all):
- Focus Mode (Super Focus) and Synced Lyrics.
- Calculator Mode (long-press
*on the T9 keyboard). - Custom icon packs and custom interface fonts (including uploading your own
.ttf/.otffiles — see Fonts & Language). - Keyboard color presets — the twelve named palettes in Colors & Opacity.
- Advanced visuals: Glass keyboard surface, Glow and Ripple key effects, and Home transitions beyond Slide.
- Widget Center custom background (color or image) and adjustable grid columns.
- Automatic wallpaper change.
- Extra app drawer pages.
- Backup & Restore settings (also unlocked during the trial and grace period).
Features that are capped on free and uncapped on Pro:
- Private Vault: 1 app on free → unlimited.
- Super Shortcuts: 3 on free → unlimited.
- Widget Center widgets: 3 on free → unlimited.
- Home and Notification Center widget stack: 2 on free → up to 4 on Pro.
- Private Vaults: one vault on free → multiple independent vaults on Pro. Vaults already created remain accessible after a trial ends.
- Discover Feed articles: 30 on free → unlimited.
- Discover Feed sources: 3 enabled at once on free → unlimited.
- Pinned apps on the home grid: limited on free → unlimited.
- App time limits: 1 app on free → unlimited.
Always free (no upgrade needed): notification dots, quick actions, and a time limit on your first app.
Pro also removes all ads.
If you hit a cap on the free plan, the launcher shows a small "Pro Feature" prompt rather than blocking you outright — your existing items keep working.
