    not as good as nova but its fine

    exept it's a bit of a mess, there are lots of incompatible versions, the new version can't read backup files from previous versions ...

    It has a modern and useful UI than other OSS alternatives. Also, it is very lightweight in term s of memory and storage consumption.

    Great alternative to Pixel that is open source. There is a newer version available, as of writing 12 Alpha 4, based on the Android 12 OSS launcher with pixel features. You can get it if you join their telegram group. Very good launcher!
