Total Cleaner: Home Launcher

Review by eFreeware

Total Cleaner: Home Launcher is a free Android app from developer Dev Rez, listed under Tools. It bundles storage cleanup utilities with a home screen launcher, so the same app that scans your phone for clutter also handles how your home screen looks and how your apps are arranged.

That combination is the main reason to consider it. Most people reach for a separate cleaner and a separate launcher; here the two sit in one install, and the cleanup side covers the usual ground: temporary files, cache, duplicate documents, oversized media, similar photos and installed apps you no longer need.

It has been installed more than 500,000 times and holds a 3.9 average from 1,531 ratings, which suggests a working tool with a mixed reception rather than a runaway hit. The app is free and supported by ads.

A fit for cluttered phones and busy home screens

I'd expect this to suit someone whose phone storage keeps filling up and who does not want to install several single-purpose utilities to deal with it. If your gallery has accumulated near-identical shots and your downloads folder is full of files you have forgotten about, the cleanup tools give you one place to work through them.

It also makes sense for anyone who wants to rearrange their home screen without turning to a dedicated launcher. Because the launcher and the cleaners share an install, someone setting up a new phone can organize their apps and clear out junk in the same session.

The app is rated for Everyone, and nothing in what the developer describes points to a steep learning curve. The tools are the sort you operate by choosing what to scan and confirming what to remove.

What the cleaners actually do

The junk cleaner scans for temporary files, system cache and residual data left behind by other apps, then removes what it finds to free up space. The duplicate remover looks for identical files and documents and deletes the copies so you are not storing the same thing twice. Both are the kind of routine maintenance that is easy to postpone until storage runs low.

The large file cleaner targets high-capacity files and media, which is useful when you want to see what is taking up the most room before deciding what to part with. The photo cleaner scans for redundant or similar images and removes them, which helps bring a gallery back into some kind of order.

Each tool addresses a different kind of clutter, and the value of the bundle is that you can move between them without switching apps.

The launcher and app manager

The home launcher lets you organize your home screen layout and arrange your apps. For anyone who has never bothered with a third-party launcher, this is a low-effort way to try one, since it arrives alongside tools you may already want.

The app manager provides a central interface for viewing the applications on your device and uninstalling the ones you no longer use. That pairs naturally with the cleaners: removing an app you have stopped using frees space in a way that clearing cache never will.

Together these two features make the app more than a one-off cleanup tool. You can tidy the software on the phone and the screen you look at every day from the same place.

Free to install, supported by ads

Total Cleaner: Home Launcher costs nothing to download and shows ads. The app has no in-app purchases, so there is nothing to buy inside it.

That keeps the decision simple. You are trading ad exposure for a free tool rather than deciding whether an upgrade is worth the money.

The app was released on March 13, 2026 and last updated on July 17, 2026, so it is a recent release.

Alternatives worth weighing

If all you need is storage cleanup, a dedicated cleaner will do that job without also changing how your home screen works. If you mainly want a new launcher, a standalone launcher gives you that without the cleaning tools attached.

The case for this app is convenience: one install covering both jobs.

There is also the question of how much you want an app managing your files at all. If you prefer to clear space manually through your phone's own settings, a cleaner adds little.

A reasonable pick if you want cleaning and a launcher together

Total Cleaner: Home Launcher is worth installing if you want storage cleanup and home screen organization handled by a single free app. The junk, duplicate, large file and photo cleaners cover the common sources of clutter, and the app manager and launcher round out the package.

The ads are the price of the free download, and the mixed rating is a reminder that bundled tools rarely match the best single-purpose ones. If you would rather keep those jobs separate, a dedicated cleaner or launcher is the more focused route.

For anyone setting up a phone or dealing with a storage warning, though, this is a sensible first stop.
