Lemmy App List
Chat and More
founded 2 years ago
MODERATORS
Dang. I still haven't found a replacement that has features I use like pulling up on an icon giving different actions, the separate "work" tab in the app list for my ~~porn~~work profile apps, assigning apps to categories such as 'games', etc.
I'd love suggestions if anyone is using something feature full that they like
Kvaesitso
Hmm. Doesn't look like it supports traditional put-them-where-you-want-on-multiple-screens icons. That's a deal breaker for me, but thank you
Ah sorry I should've mentioned that. I saw the part about the work tab which kvaesitso can show.
I've been quite pleased with Neo Launcher
A build hasn't been released on GitHub for awhile, but there is an active branch and a more recent build on the telegram/matrix chat. The 0.9.3 version has worked well enough for me.
I haven't used the features but in the Drawer section of the settings, there is "Categorise Apps" and "Second tab for Work apps".
I do wish that Nova was open source, that's basically the only reason I switched.
Ok, I'll try that out. Thanks!
I'm also looking into Lawnchair.
Shelter from f droid is what I use to keep a separate work profile on my phone
Sure, I'm using Island for that (found it first years ago), but my point was that Nova launcher handles it nicely.
Check out Octopi Launcher. It's in early development but it's been usable for awhile now. I like it so much I contributed to the developer.
Octopi Launcher
Smart launcher has auto app categorizing. You can add a catergory for work apps and put their work related apps in there.
