Microsoft Launcher is an application launcher for the Android mobile platform developed by Microsoft and intended to provide a more convenient integration between Windows desktop PCs and Android smartphones.[4] Originally available as a beta since October 2015[5] under the name Arrow Launcher, the first stable release was published to the Google Play Store, under its current name, on October 5, 2017.[6] It does not replace the stock Android operating system, but adds an additional graphical layer with a focus on Microsoft applications and services.

In December 2017, it was reported that Microsoft Launcher had reached 10 million downloads from Google Play.[7]
