Are there any good/interesting launchers for Android by Linux desktop standards?

I have been spoiled for customisation by hyprland recently and have been looking at customizing my phone UI

All the custom launchers I've tried so far are rather lacking in customisability, features and are usually paywalled for "advanced" features like having more than one widget

At the moment I think I'm going to end up back on the default one

I'm currently using the Niagara Launcher, it's easy to use and very pleasant to work with.

Ditto. Much preferred to standard layout.

Never used anything else though.

I've been using the Niagara launcher, think it's the one I like the most so far but not very customisable and no way to turn off the alphabet thing completely which I don't like

yes the alphabet is a bit unattractive, it would be nice if it would only appear when you touch it or something.

You can hide it in options but functionally it's still there

Well that's the entire point of Niagara Launcher

I'm sure some people like it. Personally I find it far faster to just type the name of the app than find the right letter, then hunt for the application

Depends on how many applications you have I guess, I keep my number of applications down, so the amount per letter is at max like 5 or 6, so searching doesn't take a long time at all
