Anyone try any good launchers lately? Something with interesting features or workflow.
A good slingshot will get you some distance but a PVC cannon fueled by hair spray is a lot more fun.
I was just using a rubber band, but this seems much better!
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:
And if you feel that the pricing for the full version is ridiculous, you can try out the KISS launcher that is similar in not using a home screen, but free and FOSS.
Yeah I can’t go back to normal style launchers. Niagara is great
+1 for Niagara
What app are you using for the dynamic island?
DynamicSpot
It has so many customization options, that it’s an even better solution than Apple’s.
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.
Niagara, Kvaesitso, oLauncher, Pie launcher, Lunar launcher, Hex launcher, Stario, KISS, Posidon
Niagara Launcher has been great! You can also try Hyperion. I find myself going back and forth every few months.
So i just got a Oneplus Open (the folding phone) and have been test driving launchers to see what works well.
Call me crazy, but Microsofts launcher they made for the Duo is actually really solid. You can adjust the dock to pull out like a mini app drawer while still having a full app drawer (with folder support), and each of those is independent (you have have a dock be like 12 columns wide and 3 rows tall while your homescreens are something more normal like 4x4). Individual icon changes too, which is always a big deal for me. And you can even do things like have the app drawer show the defauot icons while your homescreen is all custom icons.
It even has a universal search bar like nova does, and you can toggle what it searches for (apps, documents, web, all of the above). I was worried it would force me to use microsoft stuff to get the full use out of it, but nope.
Im honestly incredibly impressed. Its almost as featured as the free version of Nova launcher.
You’d be equally impressed to know how much of every single click and tap and app launched and app hovered over Microsoft tracks. Would make Nova tracking selling feel… Benign. They track their operations from the calculator app, FFS.
Despite now being owned by a marketing company, I always come back to nova.
Another vote to nova. I keep trying every new launcher just out of curiosity but I always come back to nova
I like Kvaesitso
Niagara Launcher does it for me, because my phone is rather tall
So far so good, thanks.
Square Home is an old Windows Metro style launcher. It seems like someone’s passion project.
I like that
- It supports widgets
- Tiles are colorful and easy to find. I find it easier to use than the default Pixel launcher (ymmv).
- It supports folders on the home screen.
Yes to SH launcher. I LOVE it!
Neo Launcher. Very stable on my Samsung so far. Open source.

I have KISS Launcher installed based on a recommendation, though I haven’t used it yet.
I did too, its ok but lacking.
What’s it lacking?
KISS launcher on minimal interface with a weather widget is my favourite.
Just use kiss
