Considering that some extra trackers were just added in this company's first release, it doesn't seem like it's going to be great.

I used to love Nova Launcher, but I just can't trust it anymore. There are too many open source options that are getting close enough without having to worry about them spying on your behavior.

Lawnchair did it for me, but just a home screen and app drawer with folder support is all I want or need. Simple, non-flashy nor battery hungry, and easy to use.

The is a launcher list, its has not been updated in a while but it shows some nice options.
I wish there was a launcher that came close to Nova. The main feature I miss is swiping on icons to launch different apps or intents. That and the scrollable dock.
I have since moved on to Lawnchair, but it isn't quite 1 to 1 replacement.
I will always shoot to use open source where I can. And I suppose I have to live with some od the limitations and missing features for now.
I could continue to use Nova, and just block internet access like I used to; but that feels like a step back on terms of privacy than just using something more privacy conscious.
Guess it's time for a replacement. Any recommendations on a launcher that supports gestures on an icon Right now, when I swipe up, on my email icon, it opens Signal, swipe down, it opens SMS, and Email, when I just press it
Can't seem to find any other launcher that does something similar

I moved away from Nova when it last changed owners - there are so many other options that I enjoyed trying the different ideas for what a launcher could be.
Even if this does end up being a good thing, it's too far too late. Considering that they've been without a maintainer for over two years now, I jumped ship.
