Hello 👋
Disclaimer I would switch to try grapheneos if I could currently my phone from Verizon apparently can not have it’s bootloader unlocked so…
I am looking for launcher suggestions that are maybe less intrusive if that’s possible. I mostly just want to get rid of the Google search at the bottom and the ‘at a glance’ at the top of the home page I can’t figure it out.
Edit: forgot my phone model ‘Pixel 8 Pro’

I wish it had folders in the app drawer
Yeah, it lacks a lot of features. Feeds don’t work either.
Not a fan of feeds and I don’t need them. I can’t find a good launcher with folders, up to date and with some customization
Most foss launchers I’ve tried are terrible. LawnChair is the only one that stood out the most.
I used https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.saggitt.omega before realizing it’s 2 years old. The only one I’ve found with folders
You mean folders as in sections?
- Games
- Social
- Productivity
Something like that?
Folders in the app drawer or app list (depends on how you call it)
Came here to recommend this. Cheers! 🍻
I will try lawnshair first to see how I like thanks 👍 looks good
Switching the launcher will almost do ZERO for your privacy. Just to let you know.
Anyhow, you could check out the “F-Droid” App Store, which is populated with the most privacy respecting open source apps out there. It also has some launchers.
Or you could at least check apps on Exodus for trackers.
I figured it wouldn’t do much or anything for privacy but figured it would be worth an ask. Thanks
If you want something completely different check out the KISS launcher or Kvaesito.
I use Kvaesitso and I love it https://f-droid.org/fr/packages/de.mm20.launcher2.release/
After trying out many different app launchers on f-droid Kvaesito is what I found to be the best. Kvaesito is very good and is what I use it allows you to swipe down and eminently start searching for apps.
My biggest problem with it (and it’s a big one) is ocasionally it will just freeze and stop working until I lock the phone and turn it on again. (maybe you won’t have this problem just try it out)
Will do. Many people talk about launcher freezing thanks
Kvaesito is awesome.
I know It’s not FOSS but I love Niagara Launcher maybe give it a shot and if you want to you can just cut off it’s internet access
I use Discreet Launcher on the same phone
