Hey all, newbie to the Lemmy, signed up recently.

Also a relative android newbie, I’ve had a pixel 6 for about a year and a half.

I’ve played around with tasker, KWGT, KLWP, and all kinds of other power-user techie apps, so I’m reasonably confident in my ability to tinker with my phone.

I’ve been experimenting with my launcher, having gone with stock pixel launcher for my first half, and then using Lawnchair 12 for the second half, I wanted to try something new.

So, I open the floor up to you guys! What launcher are you using, what do you enjoy, and most importantly, why do you enjoy it? What sets your launcher apart?

    I got so sick of the generic grids and app drawers, but then I found Niagara Launcher and it’s just the single coolest thing I’ve ever used.

    I love the completely unique home screen, and I insanely love that each app icon can be swiped on and opened as a folder/access in-app shortcuts.

    I really can’t recommend it enough for anyone looking for something super far from the average cookie-cutter launcher templates.

    KISS operates on a totally different paradigm than most launchers. Instead of having a grid of rearrangeable app icons, your home screen is simply a list of your most recently used applications (icon, name, and keywords). You also have a search bar where you can type to search for your application. This keyboard-focused launcher is very similar to how I open programs on desktop, so it is very welcome on mobile as well.
