Summary
- With over 50 million downloads, the future of Nova Launcher is uncertain as its development team has been cut off.
- This has led many Android users to look for alternatives to the popular launcher app.
- Some close alternatives include Kvaesitso, Lawnchair, Niagara Launcher, Microsoft Launcher, Smart Launcher 6 and Olauncher.
- Kvaesitso has a minimalist, clutter-free home screen with a global search feature, however, it is not available on Google Play.
- Lawnchair is another open-source launcher that resembles the Google Pixel look but also allows more customisation options.
- Niagara Launcher allows users to arrange all apps alphabetically and to find hidden apps easily, while also offering an “Offset Wallpaper” feature.
- Microsoft Launcher is ideal for those who use a lot of Microsoft apps, providing easy access to Office apps and OneDrive files.
- Smart Launcher 6 has adaptive icons, a smart search button and works well with gestures and hotkeys.
- Olauncher has a minimalist interface with screens that are controlled by swipes, gestures and taps.
