What is the most privacy friendly launcher on android?
I use KISS Launcher.
i tried kiss once, it is such a good launcher, I just wish they can pin more than one line of icons on the homescreen.
I got it specifically to cut down on my social media usage (clearly not working because here I am lol) so for me that was a good thing.
Olauncher is open source, and really fast.
This. If you can live without icons and widget it’s one of the best.
There is also mLauncher, a forked version of olauncher.
Looks pretty similar to Before Launcher without folders and filtered notifications
I use neolauncher, it is pretty good even though it is in its early days. It is also avaliable on izzyondroid.
I don’t think it’s been updated in almost a year.
I am happy with neo launcher as well. Can make it look how you want.
it still seems to be actively developed https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Launcher , just havent have a release for a year.
I just use plain built-in Trebuchet, and I can’t think of any privacy issues related to it
This. Used to use OpenLauncher with an icon pack but I decided to downsize.
I love using the lynx launcher, zero trackers and it can incorporate arcticons too. Worth a try without question!
I use minimalist mLauncher from f droid is simple, minimalist and I spend less time on phone because phone didn’t make any distraction.
I have been using Discreet Launcher for some time now. It’s fast and and distraction-free. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.vincent_falzon.discreetlauncher/
This is slightly slower than KISS. Too bad it doesn’t support widgets.
Any launcher without internet access 🙂 For me it is Niagara launcher, really awesome!
