I’ve been using the releases from github for a while, but this is a great step towards availability for many.

Can recommend Lawnchair. Have been using it for a couple of years now.
Can I create shortcuts to files and use a custom picture as an icon on the home screen?
Is there something I would be missing when moving from Nova?
I thought nova wasn’t being maintained anymore.
I was on nova too. I tried a couple of launchers and settled on lawnchair. I like that it doesn’t try and force a new way to interact with your icons and screens.
It hasn’t the amount of flexibility of Nova, but I really didn’t need all that, I just want a nice stable launcher I can set up and forget.
As someone who used Nova for … shit, feels like a decade, I was also concerned about this when switching (I heard Nova was sold to an ad company and was super sketchy) but after using Niagara Launcher for the past month, I realized Nova was more complex than I ever needed. I haven’t tried Lawnchair yet, but don’t be afraid of switching unless there’s a hyper-specific feature you can’t live without. Give another launcher a shot for a week and see if you’re really missing Nova still!
Swiping on icons or folders to open another app!
When Nova dies this will be the feature I will miss the most
I use Total Launcher, and it has this (and in fact you can swipe in 4 directions ⬆️⬇️⬅️➡️ rather than just the 2 that Nova offers).
Means that from my home screen I could, in theory, access 48 different apps/actions/shortcuts, as well as opening the 12 folders they represent. I use about 40 of them, but it’s good to have space for more if I want it.
Unfortunately Lawnchair hasn’t been well on Android 15 for me. Hopefully there’s an update coming soon
I thought lawnchair was dead for many years. Didn’t realize someone doing development in it
There will be full A15 compatibility just in time for A17
This is absolutely great! Thank you so much for sharing. It’s my launcher now
I’ve never really liked any other launchers I’ve tried, but this one does look nice.
For those who have used it, how does it improve on the standard Pixel launcher?
- You can remove the search bar (which was the only thing bugging me about the “original”)
- changing icon and font sizes, shapes, font families, …
- actions for screen double tapping (“lock screen” is what i use)
- is open source
Thanks
