Maybe something for the Pixel phones? I’ve been using ADW for a long time now, and was wondering what some frequently used launchers are. (I used Cyanogen for a long time, too.)

There are lists all over the internet, but I’m interested in what the Lemmy crowd likes. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks guys - a few of these were on my radar, some I hadn’t heard of or seen in the Play/f-droid lists. Having the reasons why you like each of them helps me figure out what I want from a launcher (for instance, the purchase of Nova by a company known for its data collection is a big turn-off even though it seems loved) - since you guys laid out some pros and cons of a bunch of launchers, it gives me a better picture!

    I use smart launcher. Have for probably 7 or 8 years. Never paid for it… Free version is perfectly functional. Pixel 6 pro.

    I have six icons on my home screen, I love the double tap feature that can launch another app from those home screen apps. The app pages take no more than 3 buttons to find any app since it is sorted by letter or category.

    It’s easy. I haven’t even really thought about using anything else.

      Same here, love the honeycomb layout and the double tap feature to “hide” less used, but still necessary apps (single tap goes to Waze, double tap opens Google Maps. Another tap gives me Youtube, double tap opens Youtube Kids to occasionally placate the 3yo)
