. . . that allows the user to hide apps in the drawer?
I use KISS but it is little bit learning curve.
Will have a look 🙂
Also shout out for the TinyBit launcher fork for someone who wants custom icons and a few extras with the same concept
I also use TinyBit! It’s very nice, although one might want to do some tweaking beforehand
I also used it for a while but I find that I use a set of apps all the time and simply tapping a known position on screen is just so much faster.
“Normal” launchers have searchable app drawers too, so that works for the rest.
Lawnchair is pretty good.
Thanks; however I wasn’t able to find a way to hide drawer apps with it, like with nova launcher. Also looks like it hasn’t been updated in a while
Yeah it’s one of the few apps where I recommend not getting the stable version and get the continuous builds from the GitHub repo, they don’t update their fdroid package that often imo.
I’m a fan of Lawnchair. I used KISS for a while but it honestly had my typing out searches a bunch rather than being able to quickly navigate by muscle memory. I do their their tags though as it makes trying to find that app you forgot the name of easier. Provided you go through the effort of given them tags up front.
Lawnchair Alpha version is beautiful and modern. I’ve tried many launchers before but have stuck with Lawnchair since I found it a year ago. Get the the official github alpha version - the version in the Play store or F-Droid is not the same.
I use Olaucher and it works great for me. You just long-press any app in the drawer and you get the “Hide” option.
It’s of course FOSS, I use the F-Droid version.
It’s entirely text though which I like, but maybe that doesn’t fit your needs - no icons and no widgets.
I love Olauncher, I tried it out on a whim and never left
Neo looks like a winner for me! Thanks to @Sivilian@lemmy.zip, @struds@sopuli.xyz, @plactagonic@beehaw.org, @matti@discuss.tchncs.de, and @wololo@lemmy.dbzer0.com, and @bardm@lemmy.fmhy.ml
For some reason, Neo crashes every time I boot it! Both from F-Droid and Aurora. It looks really good too. What do you like about Neo? :)
It has an RSS feed add-on that replaces the google swipe left fine home feed.
Discreet Launcher is my favourite. Works great on phone or tablet.
One thing to note is it doesn’t support widgets.

It’s very different from most launchers, but once you get used to it really nice.
I was really loving it but it was bogging down my old-ass pixel 2. Do you know of any other similar launchers? I need a new phone.
