Launched in June 2014 as alpha phase software for testers-volunteers, the software by [[Jolla]] designed to replicate [[Sailfish OS]] [[user interface]] behaviour and features on [[Android OS]] devices. 
==Overview==
Aim is to allow user to feel Sailfish OS experience with own device, in risk-free way as installing does not change any firmware and can be deinstalled. It works on the top of Android OS, provides gesture-based UI and basic tools essential for the Sailfish OS, allow to use resources and can use Android apps. No Android application uninstallation is possible, an applications can be removed from Jolla application grid, but they are not uninstalled from the Android system of the host device. First time when started, there is a tutorial to learn the basics of the UI. 
==Marketing and development purposes==
It should be also recognised as a kind of a beta test tool, as testers are to report remarks or eventual bugs in booth the Launcher and Sailfish OS itself via together.jolla.com portal tools. Jolla declared that feedback will have an influence on further development like a feedback from any other Jolla users. As a marketing tool it is supposed to help to convince potential users to try and use Sailfish OS. 
==Supported devices==
The alpha release, as of June 2014, is targeted mainly for Nexus 4 and Nexus 5 devices Android 4.3 or later. The release can be installed in many other devices as well, which run Android 4.3 or later but there might appear issues due to hardware differences.<ref>{{cite web|title=Experience Sailfish OS on your Android Phone with Jolla Launcher now available!|url=http://www.thejollablog.com/experience-sailfish-os-android-phone-jolla-launcher-now-available/|website=http://www.thejollablog.com|publisher=http://www.thejollablog.com|accessdate=27 June 2014}}</ref>
