If you're like me, you hit the search bar in Jelly Bean more often than you swipe up to get to Google Search, so Sudo QuickLaunch is a welcome addition that not only makes that gesture useful, but can keep your home screen clutter-free. Plus, those wanting swipe-up access to Google Search can place the Search app in their QuickLaunch tray.

Besides its functionality, one of the benefits of Sudo's new app is that it is simple – it works exactly how you'd expect, is ad-free, and requires absolutely no special permissions. All that and it won't have a large footprint on your device – the app weighs in at a miniscule 110k.

The app will cost you $1.49, but just because it's a brilliantly simple application doesn't mean it's not worth every penny. To give Sudo QuickLaunch a try, and make Jelly Bean's swipe-up gesture a little more useful, just hit the widget below.
