If you want to try something alternative check out "niagara launcher". You need some time to get used to it, but the UX is really clever IMO

AIO launcher.

Looks nothing like a regular launcher, but works great for me, can have calendar, news, tasks etc all in one convenient scrolling home screen

Currently using and have used the Niagra launcher for years. To me, ease of use and getting to the apps I need quickly and efficiently is the most important thing about a launcher. I've tried many of the "minimalistic" launchers over time, and this is the only one that truly felt useful. I'd highly recommend it to people who just use their phone as an app launcher, as opposed to having a bunch of widgets on the homescreen or something.

Currently, Smart Launcher. I've used Nova for over a decade, until it was filled with spyware that phones home almost 2 thousand times a day. I don't really like the pricing model for Smart, however I've subscribed for a month, set it up how I like it, and canceled the sub. Everything still works, you just can't change it until you resub

Despite the privacy issues after the buyout, I'm still using Nova Launcher.

On the work phone I'm using the Microsoft one and it's surprisingly good too. It's not quite as customisable as Nova but it does a fair amount as well. I like the configurable leftmost screen, it's like a powered up widget viewer.

OLauncher, it's FOSS, minimalist, simple and available on F-Droid.

I'm using CalyxOS's default launcher, but on regular Android I pretty much always use Nova launcher.

I use Kvaesitso, and have used it for a while now. I like it! https://kvaesitso.mm20.de/

I don't think it gets bonus points though

I use the Windows launcher, it's really smooth.

It used to be posidon launcher, but it was glitchy and laggy as hell, also used neo launcher, it was fine, but not really what I want. I use Lawnchair from the izzyondroid fdroid repo nowadays.

Square Home is utterly fantastic. For those that have a Fold like me, it's compatible with that too :D I made it look a lot like Windows Phone because I loved that vibe.

I have been using Niagara for a couple of years now, and I have absolutely fallen in love with it since.

Niagara launcher is the one. Once you get used to it it's a game changer.

Niagara, Lawnchair, Kvaesitso, Olauncher

I really enjoyed Lawnchair for some time. Been trying Niagara for a few months as well. Lawnchair is my favorite for it's simplicity.

Since gestures don't work with 3rd party launchers, I am stuck with the default one. Hope Google fixes this issue.

Ratio Launcher ! Nothing compares, i always end up going back to it . Not most customizable but it being well designed more than makes up for it . I hope they open source it

I use productivity launcher. Its very barebones, works well, quick access to my apps and it's not bright and colorful so my phone is a little less appealing to look at and might reduce my screen time a tiny bit.

Using Nova Prime since many years now. Very satisfied, never felt the need to use anything else
