Fair phone launcher is on f-droid iirc.

Can't speak for it being open source or not buy it was a good simple launcher worth checking out.

I don't think there is really. I haven't even encountered many good Foss launchers except Lawnchair.

yeah, im pretty much stuck with lineages default launcher since i use the thing that makes every icon material you thingos ๐Ÿฅ€ i have tried icon packs that do the same thing but they didn't change every app icon like the default does

It's a fork of a launcher I used before, because it stopped getting updates. I think there are multiple such forks, which is why so many look and feel similar.

doesn't look like nothing (yk the tech company)

[โ€“] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

What do you mean by nothing?

Edit: Oh I thought "nothing style" is meant as "no styling", but apparently you was talking about a company named "nothing"? That's confusing, you should have clarified it before (ideally with a link to the company and a screenshot as an example). Also sorry for not picking up what "yk" meant, guess it means "you know". I'm getting old...

The best I could find is what appears to be AI slop, sorry.

I don't think anything else exists that does all you're looking for. You might be able to get somewhat there with something like lawnchair and some icon packs though

[โ€“] goofsqueak 0 points 3 days ago

that launcher kept crashing and barely worked anyway, shows how dogshit ai is

i don really know what i should look for to get that nothing style

you know what i mean by nothing right?

[โ€“] mik3dd0@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Not really..but I saw the other comment posting a launcher and thought I'd share the one I use and be helpful. I guess I misunderstood the assignment? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

[โ€“] goofsqueak 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

yeah no big deal brochacho, just so you know nothing is a phone brand and has a pretty cool design language

[โ€“] mik3dd0@lemmy.ml 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yeah, I own and actively use a pair of Nothin ear (a) so I should have know better. Really sorry, broski ๐Ÿฅฒ

I'm currently looking for a replacement for Unlauncher, which didn't got an update in 2 years... This one looks similar and I was first intrigued. But looking at the contributors, the biggest contributor (besides the main developer) is Copilot: https://github.com/luantak/FokusLauncher/graphs/contributors?from=4%2F25%2F2026 And the project is only a few month old yet. So I'm very cautious and I have trust issues.
