unironically I like this one most, well excluding the novalauncher I've been using for like 5 years ๐Ÿ™ƒ

If I didn't find Octopi launcher a couple months back, and jumped ship from my overly customized Nova setup, this would definitely have made me switch now.

I had it since at least 2018. At least from then were the 5 stars reviews I had left, now replaced with 1 star ones...

+1 for Octopi, it's the only one that really does almost everything Nova does

I switched from Nova to Total Launcher a while back and it's been great. It has all the customization features I liked from Nova, plus additional useful features like folder swipe actions that Nova never had

Meh, I'll just keep not updating my 2024 version that I already paid for years ago and works perfectly fine lol

If anyone wants to switch to a more customisable launcher, look up total launcher. You can build the launcher in your own style from a blank template. The only thing that comes close is klwp.
