Lemmy App List

I like Smart Launcher. It's freemium, but I think the paid version is really nice.
My ideal launcher would be a mix of Smart Launcher with the addition of the app list from Niagara.
Never heard of Niagara, I'll have to check that out, as I like the Smart Launcher app drawer.
It's a completely different launcher, I just like the way they list the apps that are not in your home screen (very similar to windows phone). I still prefer smart launcher for its categories but sometimes for the apps I rarely use I liked Niagara's list.
i've been on smart launcher since checks purchase history 2013, and while it's still the best ux i've found, they have been doing some scummy shit over the years, like move features from the paid version into "content packs" that cost extra.
when you mention 2013 I got flashback I thought this was the launcher I used to use because it sounds familiar. But after remembering the name no, it wasn't. I used to be very obsessed with go launcher ex back then.
I think I used to see smart launcher a lot back then but I forgot what's that about. I think I never tried smart launcher.
but nowdays I just use lawnchair and never really customize my phone like I used to.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I was upset at first, but I figured they're making something really good, and I was fine paying. If it was continuous, I would probably drop it for a different one.
This is the launcher I use. I love the app drawer categories.
I mainly use Foss software. But, this is one app which is not Foss and I use.
Ditto.
