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

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