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 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.

      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.

        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.

            flamboule Thanks. I've tried Lawnchair 14 beta 3 iirc and liked it. Hopefully this feature will reach the beta channel soon.

              Is the latest Lawnchair Dev version working without animation hickups when to swipe back to the home screen for you?

                Kvaesitso + Lawnicons is the way to go in my opinion. Clean and elegant while being a refreshing departure from the typical Android launcher.

                I use a text-based launcher that I made to have a more minimalist workflow. I find that I prefer this approach over the standard icon-based launchers.

                Only problems are the general android bugs with third party launchers (multitasking menu issues primarily), which exist on (as far as I know) all Android OSes, and the fact that I haven't updated my launcher to Android 15 yet, which primarily means that the private spaces feature is not yet present.

                (I'm coming from iOS).

                I wish there was a relatively bug-free third party Android launcher that could hold a candle to Apple’s Springboard, but they are all half-baked, glitchy mess. If you could, stick with the stock GOS launcher. It will be your safest option, albeit barebones.
