Everyone is posting android so here you go.

This is my super minimal setup, it’s convenient quick to use and I have no issues with it.

      I tried both (and a bunch of other options) when Nova broke from an update. They were my two favorites, but ultimately I found I prefer Niagara’s navigation I think.

        I find it gets cluttered with too many apps. After like 40 apps Niagara can become a bit long to scroll through, especially when i can’t remember an apps names half the time lol

          Remembering app names is a must. Generally jumping straight to the right letter will let me open the right app with one click, it’s only my “S” named apps that have enough apps to require additional any notable scrolling after jumping to the letter (I have 24 apps starting with S, and my screen only shows 15 apps max at once in the Niagara app list).

          For all my most used apps, I put them in folders on the Niagara home screen for quick access. I also do this for apps like games where I want to view multiple options at once to decide between them. Anything I’m not accessing often needs some searching to find anyways.

          That’s why Niagara introduced pop-up folders a while back.

          I access about 80% of my daily apps through these instead of scrolling down the entire list.

      I might have to check this out. I’m not sure how I feel about it being search based. But I do like the GPL license and it looks like it operates smoothly.

    Absolutely love Niagara. The most used shortcut is the Niagara button. A swipe up to get a new Firefox tab and I can do searches without having to interact with Google’s apps

      Sorry,I am a bit confused by you mention of a Niagara button - what and where is this?

      Love the home screen!

        It’s the floating action button in the bottom right. You can enable it in settings, and have a tap on it or swipe on it bound to two different apps or shortcuts. A shortcut I use it for is to open a new web browser tab to do searches.

    Another Niagara user! I have my Mastodon, Pixelfed, and Connect apps in a folder with that share icon. The icons are from a set called Flight.

    I’m a fan of KISS launcher coupled together with Wallpaper engine. It’s damn simple and it’s only a swipe up to use the keyboard. Not to mention you can directly type in links, contacts, w/e and it just opens them! Highly recommended.

    Niagara is so good, i love the one single vertical line of apps; it makes the launcher seem less cluttered.
