A great Android launcher that’s all about keeping things simple but super powerful. It was built from scratch (not another AOSP clone). Instead of the usual app folders, it uses tags so you can put apps in multiple categories. The search is awesome, letting you find apps, contacts, calendar events, and web services like Wikipedia or your Nextcloud files. Plus, it has tools like a calculator and unit converter built-in. You can tweak wallpapers, icon layouts, and create custom commands easily. No ads, no bloat, just smooth, minimalist vibes. It’s not on the Play Store, but totally worth sideloading for a fresh, no-nonsense phone feel. I just wish it was more actively maintained, but being FOSS, it's understandable.

The best launcher ever made

Free and open source, fast, manages dual profile phones (work and personal), pleasent though simple.

best FOSS launcher, hands down. possibly the best launcher period. I wish it had support for horizontal widget layouts or pop-up widgets, but it does everything else extremely well that I can't hold that against it

I was looking around for a simple minimal launcher instead, but ran into this and was surprised by how interesting this launcher is setup.

Great work from the dev.

This is probably the best open source android home launcher out there. It looks wonderful, it has an app tagging feature that no other launcher really does, which means you can potentially filter using labels rather than organizing categories or folders. The search function works well, basically skipping the need to first open your browser, youtube or even google play, plus I think you can add custom searches.

It's open source and looks to only be getting better. Sadly the only downside is it's limited to it's customizability in terms of swiping up for the app drawer and widgets. Very odd choice to limit, I was going to remove a star for that, but it's just that good that I am hoping the developer introduces sooner or later for those of us that simply prefer it.
