I deleted nova launcher from my device after seeing this: https://lemmy.ca/post/19914345
Can anybody recommend alternatives?
I use the open source KISS launcher for years now. Your data never leaves your device, and you can expect to save battery life and speed up your device compared to complex and bloated launchers. KISS is just 250 KB and never connects to the Internet.
The best thing is that - behind a simplistic configuration menu - you can configure it from an ultra minimalist black screen with one text box to call when you need to launch an app, search for a contact, search on internet… to a full app drawer organized however you want (alphabetical order, your own defined categories…). It’s just insane and unfortunately so much overlooked.
Quick question—does the kiss launch have the ability to hide apps? This is often a deal breaker for me with launchers
Yeah, KISS is amazing, versatile and simple with a small footprint. It honestly should be the default throughout Android.
You must come from a tech literate family.
If it was the default Android launcher, Android would die.
Yeah, because using the KISS launcher is like going into the CLI and building stuff from source /s
It does the absolute basic of what a launcher should do and then some, doesn’t track you and gets out of your way. Those principles wouldn’t kill Android, but maybe Google’s ad revenue would smart a bit.
