I have tried alot of launchers but never really settled on one that meets all my needs. I have also read all the threads on reddit about FOSS launchers.

My preferences:

  • Multiple pages
  • Widgets on home screen
  • search function; app/contacts/ddg

The closest one yet is NeoLauncher, but the search function is not quite there I reckon.

Any suggestions?

Neo Launcher, working for me. Try playing with these options

Sadly its buggy for me. The search function just searches for either web or apps. I have fiddled around with everything.

I use Neo launcher and then have KISS launcher for searching.

How do you use two launchers at the same time?

AIO launcher is simple and clean and functional. Try it: https://aiolauncher.app/
