Niagara launcher.
It's legitimately the best launcher I've ever used. It breaks the typical mould of pages of icon grids and replaces it with a vertical list of 8 or so of your most used apps.
It makes my workflows so much faster and I can't go back to the typical Android home screen format.
This is what mine looks like right now:
Niagara was an easy 5 stars and lifetime purchase, but I now have a seething hatred for apps that stick random words as a prefix; for example, "myCigna" or "Fly Delta" because it ruins alphabetical sorting. I rate them 1 star for their ridiculous naming practices, but I feel like I need to do something more drastic to communicate my anger.
This is going to blow your mind: You can change their listed names.
Long press the app in the list, then press its name in the popup. It'll let you change it.
