I previously used Nova and finally moved to the open source side with Kvaesitso. I didn’t like using a search focused launcher at first, but I decided to try and use it for a few months to get used to it. What I’ve found is that:
- I barely ever scroll down into the widgets menu and so I don’t make use to widgets as much as I’d like to
- Even after carefully setting up the search settings, I find it unintuitive and prefer to use specific apps for specific tasks
- I like having apps sorted by tags, but the tiny moving pill shape icons aren’t as nice as if I had folders on my desktop
The biggest problem now is that Kvaesitso is draining my battery for some reason. Battery usage says that it used 27% of my battery today.
I think I gave it a fair shot, and I’d like to try something new.
I used Lawncher for like a year and now I’m giving μlauncher a go. The latter is more stress free and one has to fight initially with muscle memory until they get it right. I think I’m gonna keep using μlauncher for a while.

what i need is simply putting the icon i want where i want + some helpful gestures and flexibility for disabling any widget, bar &c
Stumbled across this the other day. Very interesting and a ton of gestures. Debating using it more. It is very lightweight and no frills appearance wise.
