5 abandoned Android launchers I wish were still alive today

I’d argue that the Android launcher space is the healthiest it has been in decades. Even though contenders like Nova Launcher are no longer considered the pinnacle for many, a slew of others focusing on various use cases and filling multiple niches are available.

Think of Octopi Launcher for its fluidity and support for multiple screen devices and layouts, Kvaesitso for a launcher that’s built with search first and foremost, Niagara Launcher for those who require a stripped-down yet visually engaging experience, or Lawnchair for an open-source taste of Pixel Launcher. And I’m genuinely just skimming the surface of a very deep pool.
