Lawnchair is not as fancy but it works

People are suggesting mostly search-based launchers here. Lawnchair is a launcher similar to Nova (icon-based) which should be safer from enshittification because it's FOSS. Actually derived from an old Google Launcher...

Yes, Lawnchair isn't packed with functionality, but it's also not packed with anti-functionality.

  • Background: I have just switched from Nova, for which I paid (Nova Prime), to Lawnchair, initially as a trial. But I'll probably stick with it.

It doesn't support adding pages to the home,sadly

  • I get the error if I try dragging the icon to the home screen. But it works if I click "add to home screen" so it auto-places, then move the icon afterward.

    I've got a bunch of web pages on my Lawnchair home screen.
