Android

I absolutely love Nova Launcher Pro. Easy to get to what I need. Also integrates with sesame and Delta icon pack.

I've been using nova launcher prime since forever. Make a backup on my old phone when getting a new one, and import it on the new phone.

I've been using Nova for years and I have no complaints.

Use Lawn Chair

Since i bought Niagara Launcher my phone(s) feel very fluent and contemporary. I'd say the best piece of software I bought for Android.

I use Niagara Launcher mostly for the minimalist look. But also because Nova was bought by an analytics company a bit ago.

KISS Launcher for me. Minimal UI so you can see your wallpaper, decent search and open source. I'm surprised there aren't more mentions of it here actually.

NOVA. Every single time I've tried an alternate launcher, I always return to NOVA within 24 hours.

I love me some Nova

Nova Launcher Prime. The only one I stuck too, and never managed to leave.

Niagra Launcher, by far. It has totally changed the way I used my phone in a speedy way.

Nova launcher, made this with it

lawnchair

I love Niagara Launcher. simple, yet very effective.

Neo launcher for me. it's on fdroid.

it's not perfect and can get buggy, but once you set it up, and don't mess with the settings too much. it's acceptable replacement for Nova launcher.

Had nova prime, but switched after the buyout

I loved using Nova, but they got bought by a data mining company. I'm using Active Launcher now.

OLauncher, it's FOSS, minimalist, simple and available on F-Droid.

KISS

Square Home is utterly fantastic. For those that have a Fold like me, it's compatible with that too :D I made it look a lot like Windows Phone because I loved that vibe.

I used Niagara Launcher, but it's not free, so I moved to Lawnchair 12.1. I also really like Kvaesitso launcher

None since Nova went and got telemetry'd up.

I use neolauncher Not quite nova but okay once you set it up

You can grab it on fdroid or directly on GitHub https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Launcher

Niagara launcher is the one. Once you get used to it it's a game changer.

Okay, so I really really like KISS launcher. KISS stands for keep it simple stupid and that should tell you all there is to know about the launcher. It is a search based launcher, you can do quick calculations, one click call/text your contacts, configure additional search engines (eg: you can search directly on YouTube, Maps, Google or just open an url directly). No matter what I try it never satisfies as much as KISS, I find it an hassle to go through the icons searching fot your app. It is available on F-Droid

Niagara Launcher. It's a very clean and simple launcher and perfect if you have around 8 top apps with the way it's designed, but still very easy to navigate all other apps. Definitely recommend you give it a go

I like Kavaesito a lot. Found Here

I have been using Niagara for a couple of years now, and I have absolutely fallen in love with it since.

I use Action Launcher, great for doing things from your home screen without needing a bunch of widgets. Also Samsung's One Hand Operation app is a lifesaver, no need to awkwardly shift my plone down to reach the notification shade.

I use Kvaesitso, and have used it for a while now. I like it! https://kvaesitso.mm20.de/

I don't think it gets bonus points though

SmartLauncher, no contest.

Currently using and have used the Niagra launcher for years. To me, ease of use and getting to the apps I need quickly and efficiently is the most important thing about a launcher. I've tried many of the "minimalistic" launchers over time, and this is the only one that truly felt useful. I'd highly recommend it to people who just use their phone as an app launcher, as opposed to having a bunch of widgets on the homescreen or something.

I use the KISS launcher. It's on both Play Store and F-Droid.

Stupid simple and really nice looking imo

If you want to try something alternative check out "niagara launcher". You need some time to get used to it, but the UX is really clever IMO

Despite the privacy issues after the buyout, I'm still using Nova Launcher.

On the work phone I'm using the Microsoft one and it's surprisingly good too. It's not quite as customisable as Nova but it does a fair amount as well. I like the configurable leftmost screen, it's like a powered up widget viewer.
