PSA: this feature requires you to opt-in to sending the names of apps on your phone to the developer. You cannot enable the feature without agreeing to send this data.

Limited to the paid/subscription version

The free version has most of the features of the paid version.

Love the launcher, but not willing to sub for icons like that.

I love the launcher, but hate their philosophy. I wish there was something similar that allowed me to customize the parts I don't like.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I like that they keep their philosophy. Many apps add options, just to please every user and become bloated or confusing. Sometimes it's hard to follow the philosophy of the developers, but most time their apps are more stable and better thought-out.

It's one thing to avoid bloating the app with options that will only be used by a handful of users, but Niagara's philosophy is much more extreme than that.

Extreme? In what sense? I see it is very configurable, even the free version!

Awesome. Liked the new update. I have been waiting for this icon assistant upgrade since the start of the year.

The new icons are refreshing. Hopefully, it will see an update where you can apply its icon pack to other launchers.

Never been one to mess with icons. I like their other features though. Looking forward to whatever is next.
