What is Lawnchair?
Lawnchair is a free, open-source home app for Android. Taking Launcher3 — Android’s default home app — as a starting point, it ports Pixel Launcher features and introduces rich options for customization. This branch houses the codebase of Lawnchair 12, currently in alpha and based on Launcher3 from Android 12. For Lawnchair 9, 10, and 11, see the branches with the 9-, 10-, and 11- prefixes, respectively.
No clever tagline needed
Lawnchair. Get it? It's a bad pun, we know. Based on Launcher3 from AOSP, Lawnchair has all the features of the Pixel Launcher (including the Google Feed), plus customizability. Best of all? No root required.
Android Oreo features
Notification dots and improved shortcut UI have been backported for anyone to use! Perfect for anyone who won't be getting Android Oreo anytime soon.
Pixel Launcher: Customizable
Icon size, label, rows, and columns are all adjustable. Lawnchair also supports icon packs, and the Pill is customizable as well. These aren't the only features, and more are added regularly.

Super customizable and super smooth. It is basically a de-googled pixel launcher.
Very good application, you can really customize everything from the font to the icon shape. Moreover if you use the Trebuchet launcher you must absolutely change because on the Trebucher launcher you have a white outline on some applications while with Lawnchair it disappears. My experience for some hours on this app makes me really happy. I recommend it to you!
It's not Discontinued and source repository has not been archived
Open-source (= more trustworthy). Seems to access the internet far less than other launchers (NetGuard only showed internet access while displaying the app's about page). Good functionality.
Great I really feel, simple and great contender to the paid launchers.
it works great, its lightweight, and if you add the optional “lawnfeed” you get google now feed too.
It is a nice Launcher, you can customize so much and it is open source but in beta phase at the moment. So you need to expect minor bugs.
