i tried kiss once, it is such a good launcher, I just wish they can pin more than one line of icons on the homescreen.

I got it specifically to cut down on my social media usage (clearly not working because here I am lol) so for me that was a good thing.

Olauncher is open source, and really fast.

This. If you can live without icons and widget it's one of the best.

There is also mLauncher, a forked version of olauncher.

Looks pretty similar to Before Launcher without folders and filtered notifications

I use neolauncher, it is pretty good even though it is in its early days. It is also avaliable on izzyondroid.

I don't think it's been updated in almost a year.

I am happy with neo launcher as well. Can make it look how you want.

I love using the lynx launcher, zero trackers and it can incorporate arcticons too. Worth a try without question!

I just use plain built-in Trebuchet, and I can't think of any privacy issues related to it

I use minimalist mLauncher from f droid is simple, minimalist and I spend less time on phone because phone didn't make any distraction.

Any launcher without internet access 🙂 For me it is Niagara launcher, really awesome!

I have been using Discreet Launcher for some time now. It's fast and and distraction-free. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.vincent_falzon.discreetlauncher/

This is slightly slower than KISS. Too bad it doesn't support widgets.
