How to unset Calendar Clock as home screen application

On Android phones and tablets and on Android TV it is possible to set Calendar Clock as a home screen application. This means that if you press the “home button” or reboot the device, instead of seeing the normal screen of apps, Calendar Clock opens.

This can be a useful feature for preventing confusion which may occur when navigating away from the app, but it can also be frustrating if you still want to use your other apps.

In this article, we demonstrate how you can unset or set your home screen application on both Android tablets and phones and on Android TV.

Note that it is not possible overwrite the home screen application on Apple devices. However, you can lock an app on Apple devices.

Android phones and tablets

To set or unset your launcher app, you should first open the settings of the app. You can do this in two ways:

Via Calendar Clock’s menu page
