This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
So basically any advantage over the native launcher is void?
well if you didn't jump ship in 2022 i guess this is your time
Lawnchair for graphene
+1 for lawn chair
I like olauncher. Took a while to get used too.
Yeah it's time. Nova was great but now it's fully enshitified. I went with Niagara. There's a short learning period, less than a week for me to feel comfortable, but I love it. Very simple and clean.
Same, it's great
Lawnchair runs fine on GrapheneOS.
yawnnnnnn don't care
What does any of this do? What problem or need is it addressing? I'm honestly so confused by 99% of technology these days, it seems to be nothing more than an electronic pacifier for an entire generation of ADHD addicts.
By adding launchers you can customize the Android "desktop" way more in depth and it enables you to add for example custom app icons
Lawnchair is a pretty good FOSS launcher.
Can confirm. I switched from Nova Launcher a year+ ago. I haven't noticed any downgrade. Lawnchair feels cleaner, better.
I guess proprietary software has no option but enshittification once an open source alternative exists. The proprietary product becomes strictly for chumps, so they make it a full on scam.
Do you know if Lawnchair can do a splitscreen with two apps? I got a new phone with lawnchair and I couldn't figure out how to do it the other day. I know it used to be a part of Android. I don't know if it's part of the OS, the launcher, or Google just decided to remove the feature.
I'm not sure if this is even launcher dependant thing? I'm on pixel 9 pro, using lawnchair myself.
In your open app-selector, you should have drop-down to start split screen mode.

I guess it's fair for everyone now that there are no more copyright laws being enforced and it has become a free for all. As long as it's not one-sided then I'm all for it. /s
Oh great: one more AI to disable.
damn i remember the good old days with Nova where everything was so smooth. Evie launcher too. And even we have many problems with them, Microsoft launcher was good in the beginning.
The hell happened? First it was ads, now this bs. It was such a good launcher too.
The end began 4 years ago. Now they're set up to grift anyone using the app.
You just solved one of my long-standing problems! I've been looking for a launcher that could replace Nova for me, but I hadn't been able to find anything that really did the job. Octopi for the win!
I am in the process of moving over my highly-customized setup now. And I made the larger of the two donations, in support of the app.
Thanks for suggesting it and thanks to the developer who built it!
