About Handles
Handles is a convenient launcher utility for apps, websites, files, and more through a personalized set of transparent sliding drawers, which you open and close by their handles (the reason behind the app's name). Open a drawer and launch an app, website, or document with a quick tap, and easily manage drawers and entries through the provided configuration options, without hiding the current content on your device's screen.

Note: "Handles" has the same functionality as the free "Handles Demo" app, except "Handles Demo" only allows two entries (apps, web links, sub-drawers, files, and notes) per drawer. This paid version has no such limitations.
