minus-squareplactagonic@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up15·1 year agoI use KISS but it is little bit learning curve.
minus-squarematti@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up5·1 year agoSecond for kiss … You have to get used to it and understand the concept. I really really like it now.
minus-squarehedge@beehaw.orgOPlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoKISS is nice, but since I can barely type on a smartphone this probably won’t work for me, but thank you both for taking the time to respond!
minus-squareHyperi0n@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoI just downloaded KISS because I got bored of using Lawnchair for so long now and I do like how fast it is. Everything in my favorites at the touch of a finger is nice. Thank you for recommending this.
minus-squareplactagonic@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoIt has lot of customisation - I use simple UI (it hides history and you can add widgets) and swiping shortcuts.
minus-squaredillydogg@lemmy.onelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 year agoAlso shout out for the TinyBit launcher fork for someone who wants custom icons and a few extras with the same concept
minus-squarecafuneandchill@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoI also use TinyBit! It’s very nice, although one might want to do some tweaking beforehand
minus-squareAtemu@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·1 year agoI also used it for a while but I find that I use a set of apps all the time and simply tapping a known position on screen is just so much faster. “Normal” launchers have searchable app drawers too, so that works for the rest.

Will have a look 🙂
