I did not check github, just the info on f-droid. I may try Lawnchair again.
I like the minimalist way of Olauncher, but I would like to see app icons on my home screen instead of just the names of the apps. In the few minutes of trying Olauncher I was not able to find a setting to switch to icons.
Now, I’m trying Kvaesitso. So far I like it. Again there are no icons on the home screen. There are no app names either. For some reason I like this better. I’m going to have to try and get used to swipping up to see my widgets and swipping down to get to the app drawer. This is reversed from what I’m used to.
I think there’s a new f-droid entry for the current lawnchair rework. Not sure when it last got an update, but I think there are two lawnchair apps on f-droid, one being the old one, one being the new work in progress
I just found Lawnchair. I’m going to try it out today. Thanks for letting me know of Nova’s potential privacy concerns.
Edit: looks like Lawnchair has not been updated in 4 years. I will be trying Olauncher instead.
Oh. My. God.
Lawnchair. Launcher.
I finally got the pun.
How the fuck did I miss this pun. I used this launcher for like 2 years and always just thought it was some random weird name.
So lawnchair is still maintained here’s their github
And if you want to try Olaucher try the clutter free version on fdroid

Olauncher doesnt support icons
They released a more recent Lawnchair 2 last year.
https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/app.lawnchair
The repository is updated I think, but the release apk is already a year ago.
Ive been using lawnchair since they sold out, its not perfect but it gets the job done
There are no privacy concerns, if you dont trust it, firewall it.
