Eblan Launcher | F-Droid - Free and Open Source Android App Repository
f-droid.org
Android Launcher made from scratch using Kotlin, Coroutines and Jetpack Compose

this looks promising.

  • only 2mb
  • can load icon packs
  • customizable text size & color
  • customizable grid sizes
  • widgets if you care for them (i don’t use any)

i use lawnchair because of it’s extreme customizability.

Most Android launchers are just forks of AOSP’s Launcher3. I wanted to try something different—building from scratch while welcoming new developers and applying solid coding principles and best practices to keep the project alive for the long run. Open-source Launcher3 forks often end up abandoned because of their complexity, making it tough for newcomers to contribute. And, not gonna lie… a lot of them are still written in Java and rely on legacy APIs.

Meanwhile, many closed-source launchers are starting to get greedy—locking features behind paywalls and sneaking in trackers. My goal is to give everyone the joy of using powerful features without compromising privacy.

    Does anyone know of any launcher that has a functionality like “covers” in Action Launcher?

    Basically, where you can group multiple apps behind one app icon that covers them. Never saw a better approach. Don’t use drawer at all anymore. Everything is grouped.

    Unfortunately, seems it’s not maintained anymore. Still works with latest android, but that won’t last.
