I’ve always used custom launchers on Android. The stock launchers like One UI Home and Launcher3 just don’t cut it for me.
Despite that, I’m hard pressed to find any open-source launcher that meets my expectations like Smart Launcher does.
Any suggestions?
I’ve tried pretty much any FOSS launcher out there, and I always return to Kvaesitso.
It feels very natural and smooth, while being minimalistic and extremely functional.
Especially the search is the best there is. The built in calculator (“1+1”; “3 inch in cm”; etc.) is so fucking useful and finding stuff is blazing fast.
Kvaesitso user here too, can confirm. It took two tries for me to really appreciate it and set it up as I wanted, but now I don’t look back anymore.
I really love Kvaesitso but I wish I could adjust the unit conversions. Im so used to entering a query lkke “15c to f” which works in search engines and Apple’s spotlight search buy Kvaesitso doesn’t work with that.
Agreed. I love kvaesitso and I use it. But these conversions is something I simply dont use, because entering the units the way it expects is too cumbersome for me most of the time.
Same thing for timers. I hate having to type “15 min” instead of “15min” which feels much more natural to me.
Yes but as the other commenter related, semi-improper (Ex. 15min instead of 15 min) or in my case, not having to go searching for a degree sign when I just want a quick conversion. If nearly ever search engine and other assistants can understand without it being proper, I should at least be able to introduce a custom conversion if Kvaetsitso can’t.
Yeah, +1.
I’ve been an avid fan of applocation launchers like rofi and dmenu on the desktop forever, and the “swipe down and immediately search” feels as close as it can get to the mobile equivalent of those.
