I deleted nova launcher from my device after seeing this: https://lemmy.ca/post/19914345

Can anybody recommend alternatives?

      If it look at the data safety section for Niagara launcher on Google Play store, it is also collecting and sharing data with 3rd parties. The cross section is a bit smaller than Nova’s but it was still enough for me to nope out of there.

      Second vote for Niagara. Admittedly I haven’t tried other third party launchers. [Pixel 7 Pro owner who balked at the standard Pixel screen on sight in a way that I hadn’t previously with any phone]

      I tried it, but it seems like you can’t make screens / folders? What am I missing?

        Yeap, it’s a completely different paradigm

            Fair… But I still suggest you take it for a spin

      Yep I tried it after reading about Nova yesterday.

      Really like it but I’d say putting the weather widget behind a paywall is really fuckin cheeky!
