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 like KISS, because it’s different.

I have it set up with a blank screen, with a small number of pinned apps. So my home screen is a search bar at the bottom with 5 or so small icons above it.

When I tap the search bar, it shows me my most used apps. I can search for anything else, and choose to view the whole list if I want. You can also web search from it a bit like the Google one but without the data harvesting.

I also use gestures. A swipe left, right, up, or down on the home screen opens various apps for quick access.

Previously I used PieLauncher which was even more different.
