Does anyone have recommendations to replace Nova?

It's very much not a classic launcher and takes some getting used to, but Kvaesitso is nice.

I'm using Kvaesitso as well. But just looked at the permissions and I am shocked. Don't know when the permissions changed, but I'm switching right now.

There is no way to use the built in features without those permissions I think. Like weather (location), search contacts and calendars, ..

I think they have been there a long time. It also needs pretty deep access if you want it to open notifications bar and more..

Someone correct me if I'm wrong
