Looking for Nova launcher alternatives please
KISS launcher - A Simplistic launcher focused on minimalism. You get one window, one line of favorites, one widget and a searchbar. The ability to tag apps is great and the search focused useage I fine quite pleasing. I do wish you could have more widgets but combining it with KWGT and Popup widget 3 has been my go-to solution.
