I just switched to Octopi. For me, it's an almost perfect replacement. Plus it's a local developer.

I showed my wife the before and after of my home pages. She said, "They're the same."

Happy.

If you want FOSS, check KISS launcher. Its feature rich, light on resources, and available through F-droid.

thanks for this table!

Nova is rated as advanced customisability, and in this table Bridge Launcher is the only FLOSS launcher that has advanced customisability and is not discontinued, but based on the app page it's basically a programming platform, not an actual launcher :c
