    [v2 sources released!] No clever tagline needed (by optimumpr)

    Neo-Launcher

  • Not sure if it will fulfill your needs, but there this lawnchair fork https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Launcher/releases/tag/0.9.0

  • Lawnchair

    Discontinued No clever tagline needed

  • Lawnchair2 - The most complete FOSS launcher although it has issues with being released on F-droid and recently there were accusations of proprietary code being used inappropriately within the app.

  • openlauncher

    Customizable and Open Source Launcher for Android

  • openlauncher - A fork of an old version of lawnchair that went it's own way, reasonably competent although a bit rough around the edges at times.

  • KISS

    Lightning fast, open-source, < 250kb Android launcher

  • 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.

  • Kvaesitso

    A search-focused Android launcher

  • Kvaesitso - Similar to KISS but better looking, search and weather integrations, more widgets. A few annoying bugs like the home button not working in the app drawer when searching as expected prevent me from using this one.

  • florisboard

    🧛🏻‍♂️ Dark theme for FlorisBoard (Android Keyboard) (by dracula)

  • I don't use gestures myself, but for a privacy-friendly keyboard I can recommend FlorisBoard with Dracula Theme. They state: Customizable actions for gestures: swipe up/down/left/right, space bar left/right, delete key swipe) But idk if it works well and if that will serve your needs.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
