I deleted nova launcher from my device after seeing this: https://lemmy.ca/post/19914345

Can anybody recommend alternatives?

I was recommended Niagara launcher on here a few months back. After 2 days I paid for a year. Just excellent. Clean and snappy. Take a bit of getting used to but that was well worth the time.

If it look at the data safety section for Niagara launcher on Google Play store, it is also collecting and sharing data with 3rd parties. The cross section is a bit smaller than Nova's but it was still enough for me to nope out of there.

Second vote for Niagara. Admittedly I haven't tried other third party launchers. [Pixel 7 Pro owner who balked at the standard Pixel screen on sight in a way that I hadn't previously with any phone]

I tried it, but it seems like you can't make screens / folders? What am I missing?

Yeap, it's a completely different paradigm

[-] madcaesar@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Ah ok, well that's not for me

[-] exanime@lemmy.today 0 points 1 year ago

Fair.... But I still suggest you take it for a spin

[-] Hugh_Jeggs@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Yep I tried it after reading about Nova yesterday.

Really like it but I'd say putting the weather widget behind a paywall is really fuckin cheeky!

Can't say I noticed that. But yes it is ;-)
