Android

I've been using Nova for years and I have no complaints.

Use Lawn Chair

NOVA. Every single time I've tried an alternate launcher, I always return to NOVA within 24 hours.

I absolutely love Nova Launcher Pro. Easy to get to what I need. Also integrates with sesame and Delta icon pack.

I love me some Nova

I love Niagara Launcher. simple, yet very effective.

I've been using nova launcher prime since forever. Make a backup on my old phone when getting a new one, and import it on the new phone.

I use Action Launcher, great for doing things from your home screen without needing a bunch of widgets. Also Samsung's One Hand Operation app is a lifesaver, no need to awkwardly shift my plone down to reach the notification shade.

Okay, so I really really like KISS launcher. KISS stands for keep it simple stupid and that should tell you all there is to know about the launcher. It is a search based launcher, you can do quick calculations, one click call/text your contacts, configure additional search engines (eg: you can search directly on YouTube, Maps, Google or just open an url directly). No matter what I try it never satisfies as much as KISS, I find it an hassle to go through the icons searching fot your app. It is available on F-Droid

Nova Launcher Prime. The only one I stuck too, and never managed to leave.

KISS Launcher for me. Minimal UI so you can see your wallpaper, decent search and open source. I'm surprised there aren't more mentions of it here actually.

Niagra Launcher, by far. It has totally changed the way I used my phone in a speedy way.

I used Niagara Launcher, but it's not free, so I moved to Lawnchair 12.1. I also really like Kvaesitso launcher

T-UI. Probably not everyones cup of tea, but its hard to go back.

Since i bought Niagara Launcher my phone(s) feel very fluent and contemporary. I'd say the best piece of software I bought for Android.

I use the Windows launcher, it's really smooth.

I'm using CalyxOS's default launcher, but on regular Android I pretty much always use Nova launcher.

Currently using and have used the Niagra launcher for years. To me, ease of use and getting to the apps I need quickly and efficiently is the most important thing about a launcher. I've tried many of the "minimalistic" launchers over time, and this is the only one that truly felt useful. I'd highly recommend it to people who just use their phone as an app launcher, as opposed to having a bunch of widgets on the homescreen or something.

If you want to try something alternative check out "niagara launcher". You need some time to get used to it, but the UX is really clever IMO

Despite the privacy issues after the buyout, I'm still using Nova Launcher.

On the work phone I'm using the Microsoft one and it's surprisingly good too. It's not quite as customisable as Nova but it does a fair amount as well. I like the configurable leftmost screen, it's like a powered up widget viewer.

I use the KISS launcher. It's on both Play Store and F-Droid.

Stupid simple and really nice looking imo

I have been using Niagara for a couple of years now, and I have absolutely fallen in love with it since.

KISS

Nova launcher, made this with it

Niagara launcher is the one. Once you get used to it it's a game changer.

I like Kavaesito a lot. Found Here

lawnchair

I use Niagara Launcher mostly for the minimalist look. But also because Nova was bought by an analytics company a bit ago.

Using Nova Prime since many years now. Very satisfied, never felt the need to use anything else

Since gestures don't work with 3rd party launchers, I am stuck with the default one. Hope Google fixes this issue.

Niagara Launcher. It's a very clean and simple launcher and perfect if you have around 8 top apps with the way it's designed, but still very easy to navigate all other apps. Definitely recommend you give it a go
