I’m looking for something as close to Nova Launcher as possible.

    I switched from nova to niagara and I love it. It is very different, but if you give it a shot for a few days you might just fall in love too.

      Niagara Launcher is great. I used to use Nova, but found myself only using one home screen page and only like one widget. Niagara does take some getting used to, but I also suggest giving it a try.

        I can echo this. I used Nova for close to a decade, and everybody talked about Niagara so I tried it a couple of times but it didn’t stick. I guess it took three tries for me, because I realized that the one-handed navigation for any app, the ability to easily find things alphabetically, and the fact that I could have my home screen apps pinned to the top of the list all make it way cleaner

    Nova launcher prime lol

    Like really, I tried every launcher, but Nova is the best, and I actually used the Prime Hack 7.x not updated since forever.

    Make sure to block internet access. If your OS cant do that, maybe switch devices.

    I just found Lawnchair. I’m going to try it out today. Thanks for letting me know of Nova’s potential privacy concerns.

    Edit: looks like Lawnchair has not been updated in 4 years. I will be trying Olauncher instead.
