Criminally underrated launcher! Not only does it look good, it also is very customizable, minimalistic, and material-designed. This may be the only launcher that strikes a perfect balance between all of these. The developer needs more kudos for this.

best FOSS launcher, hands down. possibly the best launcher period. I wish it had support for horizontal widget layouts or pop-up widgets, but it does everything else extremely well that I can't hold that against it

It's very good looking. Almost everything you want... but it's a search based launcher and I want app drawers that I can scroll to the letter. It doesn't provide this. Unfortunatly I'll stay on Niagara. I wish Niagara was free and open source.

I was looking around for a simple minimal launcher instead, but ran into this and was surprised by how interesting this launcher is setup.

Great work from the dev.

This is probably the best open source android home launcher out there. It looks wonderful, it has an app tagging feature that no other launcher really does, which means you can potentially filter using labels rather than organizing categories or folders. The search function works well, basically skipping the need to first open your browser, youtube or even google play, plus I think you can add custom searches.

It's open source and looks to only be getting better. Sadly the only downside is it's limited to it's customizability in terms of swiping up for the app drawer and widgets. Very odd choice to limit, I was going to remove a star for that, but it's just that good that I am hoping the developer introduces sooner or later for those of us that simply prefer it.

What is Kvæsitso?

Kvæsitso is a launcher application for Android which replaces the device's default home screen. It has been built from scratch, meaning it is not based on the AOSP launcher (like many other third party launchers) nor does it try to recreate this launcher. Instead, Kvæsitso follows its own concepts.

The main feature is a global search which does not only let you search on device for apps, contacts, and calendar events, but also on web services like Wikipedia or your Nextcloud Instance. Additionally it includes some useful tools, for example a calculator and a unit converter. You are looking for a document or an information? Just search for it and Kvæsitso shows you the fastest way to it.
