What is the most privacy friendly launcher on android?

I have been using Discreet Launcher for some time now. It’s fast and and distraction-free. https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.vincent_falzon.discreetlauncher/

This is slightly slower than KISS. Too bad it doesn’t support widgets.

Any launcher without internet access 🙂 For me it is Niagara launcher, really awesome!

I use minimalist mLauncher from f droid is simple, minimalist and I spend less time on phone because phone didn’t make any distraction.

I love using the lynx launcher, zero trackers and it can incorporate arcticons too. Worth a try without question!

I just use plain built-in Trebuchet, and I can’t think of any privacy issues related to it

This. Used to use OpenLauncher with an icon pack but I decided to downsize.

i tried kiss once, it is such a good launcher, I just wish they can pin more than one line of icons on the homescreen.

I got it specifically to cut down on my social media usage (clearly not working because here I am lol) so for me that was a good thing.

I use neolauncher, it is pretty good even though it is in its early days. It is also avaliable on izzyondroid.

I don’t think it’s been updated in almost a year.

I am happy with neo launcher as well. Can make it look how you want.

it still seems to be actively developed https://github.com/NeoApplications/Neo-Launcher , just havent have a release for a year.

Olauncher is open source, and really fast.

Looks pretty similar to Before Launcher without folders and filtered notifications

This. If you can live without icons and widget it’s one of the best.

There is also mLauncher, a forked version of olauncher.
