I’ve seen quite a few launchers on F-Droid, but I really fail to see what their advantages over the stock one are. I mean, what can be meaningfully different about arranging apps in a grid? But I guess the existence of so many options goes to show I just don’t get the gist of it.
So what launchers actually provide some interesting features that make it worth switching to them?


I like having my homescreen completely blank (not including the wallpaper), so I use Discreet Launcher. It’s not the only launcher that does this, I think KISS and Unlauncher can achieve the same result, but Discreet doesn’t make you search for apps by typing and uses a regular app folder instead. Pairs well with Arcticons pack, too.
