try lawnchair

I've been liking Total Launcher

The ones I have used before are Kvaesitso and Lawnchair. The former is focused for search (might be awesome on a smaller tablet and/or one with a flappy keyboard!), while the latter is closer to the normal Android launcher.

Lawnchair and Nova (without network permission) are my personal goto. At this point I'm on Lawnchair for everything, but I acknowledge Nova feels smoother at times.

Ballista.

I have never tried it on a tablet, but I really like Kvaesitso on my phone. It's a very customisable search-based launcher.

You can tag and/or rename apps to make them appear in relevant searches, and in tag-based views with the ability to include a single app in multiple categories/views.

Your home screen can include a section of favorites, where you can pin apps + other shortcuts, and order them manually, or based on frequency of usage, or a combination of those. This is where you can switch between favorites and any pinned tag-based views.

The search bar can search for many different things. Apps, contacts, files and the web, of course, but also other sources through various integrations, and custom search engines where you supply the search URL with a variable in place of the search string.

There are even more features to uncover, depending on your user preferences, but this covers the stuff that makes Kvaesitso useful to me.

I like Action launcher. I have been using it for years.

I use downgraded version of Nova (free of ads).
