The best proprietary launcher on Android. The animations are BUTTERY SMOOTH and I appreciate the overall concept it provides. The only downside is that some necessary features are behind a paywall, though not an expensive one.

Great launcher with well-thought out features. Minimal look while still being more usable than any other minimal launchers. Deserves your money

Amazingly easy to use, lightweight and it is an actual alternative not just another app grid

Unable to create folders or categories on the app list is something I can't live without so I had to stop using this a few hours after installing it. You can create folders, but that seems to appear on the main screen which I don't want.

You can't swipe up to open the app menu, and nor can you change the direction of the apps on the front page to left or right which I would prefer rather than scrolling down. It would also allow swiping up for the apps menu.

Overall, it seems decent, but just doesn't work for me.

That's not even true, looks like you need to take a look again. You can create folders anywhere. The point of an alphabetical drawer is to go from top to bottom. You don't swipe.

Simple, nice-looking launcher with really fast access to any application, can be easily used with one hand (right or left - doesn't matter).

What is Niagara Launcher?

Niagara Launcher gives your phone a whole new look and offers a minimalistic experience to help you to form a healthy relationship with your phone. You also get to experience the latest and greatest features of Android 10, including smart replies and dark mode.

• A standout new Android launcher for ergonomic efficiency · Computerworld • Featured on XDA Developers • Nominated as one of the best launchers of 2019 by Lifewire, Tom's Guide and AndroidPIT

Top reasons to use Niagara Launcher:

• All apps in a simplified list · You just need to scroll either of the edges on the launcher to get access to all of your apps instantly. • Interact with notifications right on the home screen · Unlike most other launchers, Niagara Launcher gives you essential information about received messages at a glance and directly on your home screen. Swiping on a notification expands it and lets you reply quickly. • Ergonomic efficiency · Niagara Launcher is optimized for one hand usage. Your apps are always within reach and the scrollbar can be used from both sides. • Lightweight & fast · Niagara Launcher is not only lightweight to your phone’s resources, but at just a few megabytes in size, the app takes up very little space. Next to simplicity, fluidity is one of the most important aspects of Niagara Launcher. • Media Player · Music controls automatically show up on your home screen when they're needed, too – anytime you're playing audio from an app. • Theming · Niagara Launcher pulls colors from your wallpaper for a nice thematic effect. Additionally, you can choose between a light or dark theme. Icon packs are supported as well – you can even apply an icon of your choice to each app individually. • Hide unwanted Apps · Hide all pre-installed bloatware, to get a clean and tidy home screen. • Active development & great community · Niagara Launcher is in active development and has a very supportive community.
