I really appreciate how Android made the “graphical shell” a user-replaceable component of the OS.<p>Back in the day, I used Nova Launcher and an icon pack to completely re-theme my home screen. I felt so cool.<p>I encourage anyone curious to take a look at the following subreddit for some neat themes that users have created for themselves over the years using custom launchers: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;androidthemes&#x2F;top&#x2F;?t=all" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.reddit.com&#x2F;r&#x2F;androidthemes&#x2F;top&#x2F;?t=all</a>

This a good place to plug my favorite launcher? Search-based launchers in general are something I just cannot live without nowadays, there&#x27;s way less friction there with openint apps and such.<p>Kvæsitso is the one I use currently: <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kvaesitso.mm20.de&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;kvaesitso.mm20.de&#x2F;</a>. The design is really good, and the widget support is nice. Search is not as perfect ass the classic KISS, though: <a href="http:&#x2F;&#x2F;kisslauncher.com&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;kisslauncher.com&#x2F;</a>.

That&#x27;s a bit too streamlined for me. I don&#x27;t group apps by their first letter, I group them by purpose of convenience. I need a lot more than maybe ten favorites on screen and having to scroll or go into a menu to find anything beyond that is just a waste of time. Yes, there are folders but other than with Nova Launcher you can&#x27;t see which apps are in there unless you open one. I like being able to see a notification bubble on an app within a folder. The concept is slick but it doesn&#x27;t match my usage pattern at all.

I&#x27;ve been using Niagara since its first days. Absolutely loving it and it keeps getting better year over year.<p>The only thing I miss still is not being able to open drawer by swiping up (though fastscroll on letters is good enough, but kinda sucks that it only handles latin letters there, cuz like 3rd of my apps are in Cyrillic and thus stuck at the first category).<p>UX on foldable device is unmatched, especially after it added support for side-to-side widgets and widget stacking.<p>Another slight annoyance is that in modern android quickstep is no longer standard part of AOSP, and depends on how OEM implemented it, which means that on many devices (including mine mix fold 2) you either lose access to gesture navigation in order to use Niagara(I get around it by using Infinite Gestures + OMS overlay to hide the navbar) or get broken animations when swapping between apps and going home.<p>UPD: it also recently got client-side implementation of monet and built-in contextual variable icons, which works even on devices that don&#x27;t have it as a part of AOSP. It works marvels and I can&#x27;t get enough of how good it looks.<p>And in general, I wish more launchers had fastscroller as overlay option, so that you can get to any app via tapping&#x2F;flicking onto a letter in a single tap&#x2F;swipe. Once you experienced it, it&#x27;s hard to go back to the app grid.

Unfortunately, this is not on F-Droid, and it does not appear to be open source.

Niagara has been my go-to Android launcher for several years now. I would certainly recommend at least giving it a shot!

This launcher has solved launchers imo, organization barely matters when if you simply remember the name of the app, you can get there in under a second easily.<p>Sometimes I forget something was in my favorites and just use the scroll by habit, its just that big a non issue.

I&#x27;ve been using the Microsoft Launcher for years. I have all my apps on one 6x5 grid (with the top row showing time&#x2F;date&#x2F;weather) in addition to the 5 bottom tray apps. The infrequently used apps are in group folders, so every app is at most two taps away. The frequently used apps are on the bottom 60% of the screen.

I&#x27;ve been using this for a year and I love it. My favorite feature is how it organizes notifications under each app so I don&#x27;t miss important things. Also I can dismiss all notifications from a category of apps (all social notifications for example) in one swipe on my home screen. I&#x27;ve set up folders for my major app categories and I see notifications grouped at a top level there by category, so no massive list of combined morning notifications in Android to deal with.

As a Buffalo&#x2F;Niagara Falls native, I really thought this was going to be some new tourist attraction that surely will save the city this time.

Not FOSS = massive privacy and security threat when it comes to crucial things like the app launcher.<p>Nobody should be using this. Who knows what it&#x27;s recording and to whom it&#x27;s sending that data?

I&#x27;m a fan of this launcher; I switched to it when I realized I only ever launched things via typing the app name into search. Why not just have a list of apps by name then? Works great.<p>It&#x27;s a real testament to Android&#x27;s flexibility too. It&#x27;s terrific to be able to radically change the UI for the phone.

I still wish someone would take up the torch from ZLauncher. I still use it on my phone as it&#x27;s just such a great launcher. I tried Niagara, but I found myself looking for the letters too much. With ZLauncher I can type the letter without even looking at my phone. You might think it would be annoying to have to write multiple letters (like you see people doing in many of the videos about the launcher) but the launcher remembers you most searched for apps for a certain letter. So after a couple searches your frequently used apps will be on top after only one letter. I do wish it had better support for widgets though, especially something like the pop-up widgets from the Blackberry Priv. But all in all it&#x27;s a great launcher and it&#x27;s a shame it was discontinued..

KISS launcher for the win. Never use android without it.

I love Lynx Launcher - best one I found after Evie was discontinued.<p>Like many others in the thread, I really like how I have freedom of choice w.r.t. launchers (I personally dislike the iOS home screen and the stock Google launcher, fwiw).

Tried using it on tablet some time ago. Felt handicapped comparing to Nova Launcher, some useful stuff was locked behind premium. Instead of nice easy to use app grid you have unbearable list where all apps grouped by letters and you have to manually choose certain letter to see what apps available there. The only positive thing about that launcher is that it helped me localize issue with lagging wallpapers but after that I happily deleted it.

I&#x27;m a fan of smart launcher. It has 8 gestures that you can map to frequently used apps (or various phone activities), and supports both searching by app name and browsing by app category. It&#x27;s weird that Google haven&#x27;t innovated much in their default launcher, but I really like that I have the choice to customize.

Niagara Launcher is broken on my S10+. The apps don&#x27;t align to the left correctly, sometimes I get two columns of apps instead of one, sometimes the text and icons are incredibly small and difficult to read. I had to cancel my subscription

I used Android for a long time before switching back to an iPhone. While mostly I’m happy with my iPhone, I do miss some of the UI customization features like being able to switch graphical shells like this

I really like the minimalistic and focused launchers. I use <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;beforelabs.com" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;beforelabs.com</a> Let&#x27;s you silence notifications for unimportant apps and such.

I gave it a quick test drive but almost immediately uninstalled it because it wouldn&#x27;t let me dismiss the cluttering messages on top of the app list :&#x2F; Looks promising though. Thanks for sharing.

I&#x27;m using and enjoying Niagara on my Android phone. If I were to switch to iOS, is there any setting or app provides a comparable minimalistic experience?

I have used this launcher for several year and I love it, I would never go back to the stock one. But it is not for everybody

As a long time Niagara user, it is probably the biggest thing that keeps me on Android over iOS.
