I use the paid version of Niagara. It's going well for me but I get that paying 30$ lifetime for a launcher isn't for everyone. The free version is ok but it lacks several very nice features like your music app automatically being hoisted when you connect earphones.
I used it in the past. I really did like the idea of it, but I can't see myself going back. And 30$ is steep, I'd rather donate to an open source project anyways.
You can just download the cracked version. Its on some popular mod site that now I can not remember.
So fun fact about that I know a bit about Android apps so I tried cracking it myself, and when I couldn't I looked at the difference between the vanilla app and the cracked one to see how they did it. All the cracked copies I could find were not simply cracked but also had additional code behind some kind of DRM, so I'm gonna go with "please do not install malware as your Android launcher".
This isnt fear mongering, this is based on actual evidence of said malware being distributed.
