    Yeah every battery in my 4 lasted a winter before having to be replaced. Not sure that’s all that environmentally friendly.

    Long time Nova user, trying out others now because the Pixel launcher is too boring.

    Niagara for a scaled down ui. 8 apps on the home screen, rest is in a super easy to reach list on the edges of the screen. Currently on day 3 and liking it. Paid version is either €12 a year or €40 lifetime. Basically all the flashy stuff you see of it is locked behind the paywall.

    Hyperion is good, pretty close Nova relative. UX needs tweaking. Dock and home screen are completely separated so you can open a folder in the dock and one on the home screen at the same time. Minor things like that.

    Octopi I did a quick review of on the other site. Tl;dr navigation / interaction is kinda laggy (gestures, tapping, moving things), doesn’t have google feed integration but customization is top tier, better than nova imo. I left it because of the interaction issues.

    Smart Launcher is built around a search function. Not my thing so I moved on quickly. UI/UX is good though.
