Personally I'm a huge sucker for list launchers. Been using the Olauncher since before I even knew what foss means. Also tried the mLauncher, the Easy Launcher and ultimately settled on the YAM Launcher since that one has a weather widget, lets you switch between a list of apps and a list of your contacts and has some neat customization options. My question is if you use a list launcher which one did you pick and why? I'm not neccessarily looking for an alternative since I'm very happy with YAM but it never hurts to explore options.

Edit: Included image of my current launcher:

I use Niagara Launcher, the paid pro variant, it has lots of icon customization and you can put a widget on the home screen. It expends also a Mediaplayer if playback is detected. You can have a pinned list of applications and can swipe to see all of your non-hidden apps, also as a list.

I'm also a sucker for List Launcher, it's just so much cleaner than grids.

Sadly it's not FOSS (just mentioning since we are in FOSS community).

I would have paid for the one-time pro payment even if it was FOSS and was just to support developers. It's really good.

I also use Niagara Launcher. I know it's not FOSS, but non of these have the mix of effortlessness and functions like Niagara.

Still worth mentioning for the FOSS devs who might be looking for features to include.
