I used GrapheneOS to get rid of it, along with all the other Google bloatware/spyware.
I use Neo Launcher, it's quite nice and customisable

quickdraw on my most used apps

As a former GNOME user, this felt like the only right launcher
If you like minimalism, you can try Mere Launcher.
Full disclosure: I made it.
this is the F-Droid sub, your Launcher is not on F-Droid, right? Do you open source it?
Ah fair enough, I never got around to putting it on F-Droid. It's not open source at the moment, but I put the APK on my website.
I've used Niagara for probably 5 years now. Quick, light, and highly customizable. Yes, there's a paid option, and I like to support the devs.
I'm using Evie, I downloaded the APK for it aaaages ago, I don't thinjkit's even availible from any app stores
NIAGARA IS THE BEST EVER
I run grapheneos and I use total launcher because it really customizable and I can open any app by siding in the direction of the app in a folder, its a custom setting but soooo worth it. Here's my home screen, I like it simple 
C Launcher https://f-droid.org/packages/app.clauncher
Renamed a few apps to simpler names (phocid > music. Tubular > newpipe etc)
Just type the app I want, and boom. It opens.
Fossy Launcher Beta
KOSS Launcher. Tried Lawnchair from F-Droid for some bostalgia, but I fancy KISS Launcher more.
KOSS Launcher
this is probably a typo, you mean KISS Launcher, right?
Woopsi. Yes, I meant KISS :) Wrote that on my phone.
I also use KISS since several years now. Its by far my most productive Launcher ever
μLauncher
Really like the tons of gestures on this one!
I tried some launchers.... and the most I like is Kvaesitso Launcher https://github.com/MM2-0/Kvaesitso
Lawnchair is solid. Neo Launcher is good too.
Octopi Launcher is maturing. Keeping an eye on it. Enen though not F-droid. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.otp.octopilauncher&hl=en_US
