A while back there was an app called Contextual App Folder (C.A.F.) that did exactly this - a home screen folder whose contents changed based on context. It got pulled from the Play Store in 2023. ContextFolder is a modern take: each app icon carries its own rule - show, hide, or promote based on Bluetooth, day or time, or driving detection - plus a manual profile layer you can switch by hand. Free tier with limits; one-time purchase unlocks more, no subscription.
Hey PH!
A while back I used an app called Contextual App Folder (C.A.F.) - it put a home-screen folder on Android that changed its contents based on context: Bluetooth device connected, location, time of day. It got pulled from the Play Store in 2023 and never came back, and I kept missing it.
So I built ContextFolder. Each app icon on the widget carries its own rule - show, hide, or promote based on Bluetooth, day/time windows, or driving detection (via Android's Activity Recognition API, so it survives the process being killed in the background). There's also a manual "profile" layer for anything better switched by hand than auto-detected.
It sits on top of whatever launcher you're already using - it's a widget, not a launcher replacement.
Free tier with limits (1 widget, a handful of tracked apps); a one-time purchase unlocks unlimited widgets/apps, backup/restore, and an automation intent API for Tasker-style control. No subscription, no ads.
Would love feedback, especially on what other context signals would be useful.
