Niagra Launcher

Nova was mentioned by @DavidP@lemmy.world, however they were purchased by an analytics company, and my understanding is it now has some nepharious garbage in it.

I switched to Neo Launcher, a FOSS launcher that is very similar.

However many prefer Lawnchair, which is also similar and FOSS.

Both of those meet your criteria.

I have been using Nova for a LONG time, and wasn't aware of them getting bought, what nefarious thing is it doing now? Do you have some reports on it? Although I can imagine the sort of things analytic companies are doing.

I have installed Lawnchair nightly and I'm trying to use it as default. But when it loads only 3 apps icons are shown in home screen. It seems that I need to manually drag and drop all my 50 icons from drawer to home screen. is this the default behaviour. Is there a way to add all icons directly to home screen?

Also I know that it supports add newly installed app to home screen and I have enabled it in the setting. But my newly installed app from f-droid doesn't show automatically on my home screen which bothers me a lot

I think Nova covers all but item 3.
