The minimalist ones take a different approach, and are really great at encouraging less phone use: minimo launcher, fokus launcher, olauncher and its variants, etc. There's some theory around why grayscale and text are less addictive than colorful icon grids, widgets, and multiple pages, but I can't find it right now.

I'm currently on murine launcher because I have a tiny phone, but I use black and white icons with arcticons.
