Since no one mentioned it, I think. Kvaesitso is highly underrated. Its FOSS, and fast with a sorta minimalistic home screen with just enough customization at least for me. With a more advanced global search.

I'm using an open-source alternative called Neo launcher atm. It is still in its infancy, but the community is great as are the developers that are very active in developing this launcher into a great Nova-alternative. I've been using it for 3 months now and personally, don't miss Nova at all.

hardened_malloc
Hardened allocator designed for modern systems. It has integration into Android's Bionic libc and can be used externally with musl and glibc as a dynamic library for use on other Linux-based platforms. It will gain more portability / integration over time.
It's fine if you think I'm naive, but I have a serious question (as no one is willing to tell me when talking about Nova) what data are you worried about? Launchers have the same access to data as every app, which is pretty basic. Access to contacts or anything else "sensitive" needs opt-in approval. If you're worried about general privacy of data on your phone I hope you're running GrapheneOS cause otherwise any data you're worried about I'm sure many companies already have.
