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.

It seems promising, but also it’s in Alpha according to their GitHub and for some reason can’t find it in Droid - your link doesn’t work and searching manually doesn’t show it.
Hope it would develop nicely.
I feel like Lawnchair is almost stalled. What’s prevent me to switch to it is mainly lack of gestures on apps and folders to launch another app. Feature request has existed forever :-/
