A clean Android setup with the best apps (mostly open source)
Everytime I setup a phone for a friend or myself I usually remove stock apps using adb or UniversalAndroidDebloaterNextGeneration and replace them with theses apps listed here. I added also a couple of nice to have apps that people might wants on their device.
Almost all of them are free as in free beer and many are open source (around 80%)
I tried to feature more applications and less services but there are several services still in this list, however I find them great and/or accessible (freemium most of the time).
FOSS = Free(as in freedom) and Open Source Software
A digital minimalism toolkit
Digital minimalism means keeping the technology that serves you and quieting the rest. These tools strip the noise from the devices and sites you already use: minimalist launchers that hide the endless app grid, browser extensions that remove infinite feeds and autoplay recommendations, and a focus timer to protect your attention. Narro applies the same idea to social media itself: instead of an algorithmic feed, you keep only the accounts you choose across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, X, Facebook, and LinkedIn, shown in plain chronological order with no ads.

Comments and Reviews
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).
