I’ve always used custom launchers on Android. The stock launchers like One UI Home and Launcher3 just don’t cut it for me.

Despite that, I’m hard pressed to find any open-source launcher that meets my expectations like Smart Launcher does.

Any suggestions?

    I’ve tried pretty much any FOSS launcher out there, and I always return to Kvaesitso.

    It feels very natural and smooth, while being minimalistic and extremely functional.

    Especially the search is the best there is. The built in calculator (“1+1”; “3 inch in cm”; etc.) is so fucking useful and finding stuff is blazing fast.

      Kvaesitso user here too, can confirm. It took two tries for me to really appreciate it and set it up as I wanted, but now I don’t look back anymore.

      I really love Kvaesitso but I wish I could adjust the unit conversions. Im so used to entering a query lkke “15c to f” which works in search engines and Apple’s spotlight search buy Kvaesitso doesn’t work with that.

          Yes but as the other commenter related, semi-improper (Ex. 15min instead of 15 min) or in my case, not having to go searching for a degree sign when I just want a quick conversion. If nearly ever search engine and other assistants can understand without it being proper, I should at least be able to introduce a custom conversion if Kvaetsitso can’t.
