Free - Lawnchair | Kvaesisto
Paid - Niagara Launcher
Shoutout for Niagara. High quality reliable launcher. Only switched away after 2+ years cuz I got a little bored of the interface
I got bored but then I noticed almost immediately how I spend so much extra time just navigating my phone on other launchers. So I switched back and then they released a wallpaper that has a fun cat in it and now he's my home screen homey and I'm good
Show us the wallpaper!!!
I'm also waiting for lemonparty to show us their wallpaper.
OKAY OKAY HERE YOU GO.
Geez
Is it the one called "waiting"?
Yessir! Also note that there's an animals category that has a cat or two as well, but the one you reference is the one that serves as my personal desktop homey.
I came back to this several days later and was not disappointed ๐
I tried to upload a screenshot but it keeps throwing an error. Here's a link to it from their web Site.
Funny enough i actually switched from niagara to kvaesisto
Well now I have to go look into this kvaesisto!
Edit: how do you find the interface? I looked at the photos and it looks very interesting, kind of has some Sesame type system wide search functionality?

I used Niagara free for quite a while. It does have a fair few features locked behind the paywall, but it's certainly usable.
Niagara's free version is still pretty great too. I usually pay for apps but don't want a subscription for my launcher, so I use it in free mode. Despite the limitations it's methodology of getting you to the app you're looking for as quickly as possible is a game changer. I don't know if I'll be able to go back to icons and folders + app drawer launchers haha
