Different launchers?

73kk13 IIRC you have to buy the prime license through the play store, but it doesn't have to be on the device where you want to use it - it could be on your PC. Then you just email the developer and give him your play store ID or something like that and when he have verified that he has recieved the payment he will send you a code you can use to activate prime.
I would probably weight a little buying prime though as he haven't released a new beta since mid-summer IIRC and i'm wondering if he is still maintaining the project.
missing-root As far as I know, no 3rd party launchers support private space yet because of an api not released to AOSP yet or something like that. I found the info in here somewhere but can't seem to find it right now.
custardbomb after your suggestion I'm actually using pro launcher and I really like it so far.
GrouchyGrape v8.1.1
aurocha Gesture shortcut for recent apps seems to work. Nova has the same bug as other custom launchers in recent apps: when you use the home gesture and then the recent apps gesture a black tab appears in recent apps. This is not specific only to this launcher.

Great launcher overall. Used Nova (and a multitude of others) in not so distant past. It's different. This is a winner for me.
trilogy6202 Niagara launcher seems to support Private Space pretty well.
brandy078 No trouble at all, it ticks the minimalist box for me, and is the only launcher that has struck a cord after Windows Phone. The developer is happy to review user suggestions too, and is responsive on Telegram.
I use niagara launcher because it blends in with my plan to limit screentime and streamline how I use my phone. It's very easy to simply have 8 things on the home screen, with no icons or distractions, and nothing else to take away my time.
I like my homescreen neatly organized with all overview of important info all on one screen, hence I suggested launcher further above. Your homescreen doesn't have to look boring with GrapheneOS and I experiment with layouts every day.

I think it's more of adoption of the feature just being not the fastest. Which is fine.
As @weston said Niagara launcher has supported private space recently and does it pretty well.
Also Kvaesitso Launcher was one of the quickest launchers to adopt the feature from what I had seen. Once again works pretty well.
It's a shame it's being quite lengthy for a majority of launchers to adopt the feature. But I like to be hopeful that the extra time will ensure that when they do adopt the feature that it will be well implemented and stable. Just like the previously mentioned launchers.
I'm mainly waiting for nova to get it. As it's the only thing I'm missing from the launcher right now and I love the extremely flexible control it gives you. Kvaesitso gives very flexible control too but it's not my style of launcher. I bet anyone who likes powerful feature packed search focused launchers might possibly take a liking to it though.
DeletedUser95 Thanks for sharing. I like nova launcher too but I am a little worried about the future of this launcher since there have been no beta updates since summer.

Kvaesitso Launcher runs well on GrapheneOS and is quite fast, as mentioned above it fully supports Private Space, there were some performance issues but these have been fixed.
Gesture navigation is a bit weird but you can change it by enabling the launcher in Accessibility. It works without any other authorizations with all restrictions without crashes for the moment.
Xtreix what puts me of from Kvaesito are the bunch of permissions required.
Location, calendar etc.

If you are running a weather widget then it needs location, in the same way that a daily reminder widget requires calendar
brandy078 It depends on whether you want to use them or not, I don't and all permissions remain on your device, it could be that your device connects to third-party services if you use third-party services like Nextcloud.
I use a plugin with Breezy Weather for the weather and Fossify Calender for the calendar, Kvaesitso doesn't have access to the calendar and location, Breezy Weather is set to manual location which only activates if I open the app.
As mentioned above you only need to grant the permissions for certain features of the app. All permissions are actually completely optional if you don't mind losing some functionality.
As far as I'm aware none of the permissions are used with malicious intent and only for their core functionality. Having said that though I personally removed all the permissions when I used it anyways as I don't need the functionality.
I use KISS on all my android devices since it came out.

The current nightly build of Lawnchair (1855-99b65be) now also supports Private Spaces. This already works very well here with the latest GOS and a Pixel 8pro. So it looks good that Lawnchair 15 will support Private Space.
flamboule Thanks. I've tried Lawnchair 14 beta 3 iirc and liked it. Hopefully this feature will reach the beta channel soon.
