Android

None since Nova went and got telemetry'd up.

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.

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

I've been using smart-launcher for years now, and it's what I'm used to, gestures and a nice app menu that automtically categorises applications is nice.

AIO launcher.

Looks nothing like a regular launcher, but works great for me, can have calendar, news, tasks etc all in one convenient scrolling home screen

I've never tried an alternate launcher, do you need to root your phone to do it? And can you easily go back if you change your mind?

After many years with Nova, I dumped it after the sale, and tried a few. MS Launcher was pretty good, but I settled on Total Launcher.

Very, very customisable, although a bit of a learning curve. I have a feeling I'm only scratching the surface of what it can do, but that's enough for me :-)

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

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

Niagara, Lawnchair, Kvaesitso, Olauncher

I also use Niagara Launcher. Went pro about two years ago.

I like the minimalistic look and the alphabetical drawer. Also the widget for calendar and clock is neat. And the media widget only shows up when needed, as well as the chosen media apps.

MLauncher, sadly no option to sort alphabetically once you add the apps to the homescreen, or at least I haven't found it

OLauncher, it's FOSS, minimalist, simple and available on F-Droid.

Even for its non-standard layout, I've really fallen in love with Kvaesito. Maybe it's because I now don't have to work out which widgets I want to have on my main screen and how to lay them out.

Kiss launcher all the way! It basically works like the windows start menu. Type the first few letters of the app name, press enter and it starts.

You can also add keywords to apps and those will get searched as well.

It's purely awesome. And it combines really nicely with my Fairberry physical keyboard attachment.

Trying to pivot to an alternative since Nova was sold but I just can't find anything that matches it feature for feature. Like Niagara but not something I want to use always. I just really depend on the app swiping functionality on Nova and the customizable gestures like double tap to prompt my remote.

But there is a cool launch aUG. lets you swipe a letter of an alphabet with a stylus or your finger and all your apps with that letter pop up. If it had landscape mode support and search function in the app drawer I would use it a lot more

before I got a pixel I used Action Launcher to have a clean, stock-enough, look no idea if it's still getting any updates but it would still be my go-to anyday
