Developer Nicolas Pomepuy has been quickly working to improve the Android Wear experience through a custom launcher, Wear Mini Launcher, for Wear-based devices. He already released an alpha version of the app for testers to try out and has been providing updates over the course of the past couple weeks. Now, the Wear Mini Launcher app has moved to the beta stage.

The new version moves the Wear Mini Launcher up to 2.0 and brings with it the ability to move the swipe-in activation gesture location. The update also includes new toggles for Tethering and Media volume.
