I was using the Nova launcher forever, but it’s been getting buggier and buggier and support just blames android. plus I understand there are privacy concerns about them these days

I switched to hyperion, and it works just fine except for one feature, and I can’t get support to respond anywhere for any reason.

which launcher do you use, and why do you like it?

      I switched to Niagara too, gotta say it’s really great. I can’t imagine using something else now

        I use it but I can’t answer that question. It just makes everything seem quick and minimal. I get straight to my apps with no real thought.

        I paid for Pro too.

        it’s really just the best minimalist launcher i could find that still looked good, could be personalized, and didn’t limit me too much . i use the Panels app with it for more quick shortcuts that don’t fit on the home page, since there’s a limit. but the paid version lets you make pop-up folders for apps too.

      What is the amount of the yearly subscription and what don’t you get with the free version that promoted you to get something you had to pay for?

      I am not trolling, just can’t find info on it and don’t want to check it out if some reliant features are behind a paywall.

        it’s 3.99 a year. the description of the Pro version benefits are listed:

        Niagara Pro is the premium in-app upgrade to unlock all of the app’s features.Benefits of upgrading to the paid version:

        • Pop-up widgets: Get timely information at a glance
        • App list pop-ups: Add folder pop-ups to organize all your apps
        • App pop-ups: Swiftly access related apps, shortcuts, or widgets
        • Ad-free experience

        I’d say i use all the paid features all the time. i also prefer this launcher because I’m ADHD af and it helps keep things looking clean and there’s less distraction. my favorite things about this launcher are the weather widget and calendar agenda built into the home screen
