    So far the best alternative to Nova Launcher that I've found. I'm kind of surprised it's not open source, since, unlike most proprietary launchers out there, it doesn't require lots of creepy permissions (no internet access, no trackers, etc.) I love that, even better than Nova, edits to app title/icon in the drawer are reflected automatically in the desktop (though the desktop icon can also override those customizations).

So far the best alternative to Nova Launcher that I've found. I'm kind of surprised it's not open source, since, unlike most proprietary launchers out there, it doesn't require lots of creepy permissions (no internet access, no trackers, etc.) I love that, even better than Nova, edits to app title/icon in the drawer are reflected automatically in the desktop (though the desktop icon can also override those customizations).

Has a few areas it could be improved (color of folder title when opened doesn't seem settable, apps in outer rows and columns will disappear if temporarily adjusting to fewer to see what it looks like then returning to higher count, backups to file require two steps, etc.), but nothing intolerable (and I haven't yet reached out to the developer to see if they might fix those).
