The Google Now Launcher brings Google Now right into the homescreen. With Google Now launcher, you are just a swipe away from accessing Google Now. You can also access Google Now by just saying the hotword "Ok Google" when on home-screen, using this you can easily perform all the Google Now actions like calling someone, scheduling a meeting, setting an alarm, opening a app and more.

Key features of Google Now Launcher:
  • Google Now on your home screen - it's easier than ever to get just the right information at just the right time.
  • Just say "Ok Google" - when you're on your home screen, just say "Ok Google" to trigger voice input. Then say your search query. Or tell your phone what to do, like send a text message, get directions, or play a song (available in the US, UK, and Canada).
  • Faster search - tap the search box and you can enter your query immediately.
  • Easy access to your favorite Google products and services, like Gmail, YouTube, and Maps.
  • Larger viewing area - the status and navigation bars are now translucent, so your wallpaper pops from every pixel, and is even visible when you expand your apps drawer (when supported by device).
  • Intuitive wallpaper picker - select any image that's stored on your device, or in the cloud. Position and preview your wallpaper before you set it.
