I'm currently looking for a replacement for Unlauncher, which didn't got an update in 2 years... This one looks similar and I was first intrigued. But looking at the contributors, the biggest contributor (besides the main developer) is Copilot: https://github.com/luantak/FokusLauncher/graphs/contributors?from=4%2F25%2F2026 And the project is only a few month old yet. So I'm very cautious and I have trust issues.

you know what i mean by nothing right?

[โ€“] mik3dd0@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Not really..but I saw the other comment posting a launcher and thought I'd share the one I use and be helpful. I guess I misunderstood the assignment? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

[โ€“] goofsqueak@lemdro.id 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

yeah no big deal brochacho, just so you know nothing is a phone brand and has a pretty cool design language

[โ€“] mik3dd0@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, I own and actively use a pair of Nothin ear (a) so I should have know better. Really sorry, broski ๐Ÿฅฒ

Fair phone launcher is on f-droid iirc.

Can't speak for it being open source or not buy it was a good simple launcher worth checking out.

[โ€“] UnH1ng3d@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I don't think there is really. I haven't even encountered many good Foss launchers except Lawnchair.

[โ€“] goofsqueak@lemdro.id 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

yeah, im pretty much stuck with lineages default launcher since i use the thing that makes every icon material you thingos ๐Ÿฅ€ i have tried icon packs that do the same thing but they didn't change every app icon like the default does

[โ€“] UnH1ng3d@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

Guess we'll just have to wait ๐Ÿ˜„

It's a fork of a launcher I used before, because it stopped getting updates. I think there are multiple such forks, which is why so many look and feel similar.

doesn't look like nothing (yk the tech company)

[โ€“] thingsiplay@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

What do you mean by nothing?

Edit: Oh I thought "nothing style" is meant as "no styling", but apparently you was talking about a company named "nothing"? That's confusing, you should have clarified it before (ideally with a link to the company and a screenshot as an example). Also sorry for not picking up what "yk" meant, guess it means "you know". I'm getting old...

[โ€“] goofsqueak@lemdro.id 1 points 2 weeks ago

answer to the edit: yeah that was my bad, kinda new to forum style platforms ๐Ÿฅ€ buddy you're not old, im guessing older adults didn't know what you were talking about when you were younger ๐Ÿฅนโค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน also were more connected than ever yet more disconnected than ever so youngins slang will probably be even harder to catch up on since everyone is in their own bubble

thats the company yes

The best I could find is what appears to be AI slop, sorry.

I don't think anything else exists that does all you're looking for. You might be able to get somewhat there with something like lawnchair and some icon packs though

[โ€“] goofsqueak@lemdro.id 0 points 2 weeks ago

that launcher kept crashing and barely worked anyway, shows how dogshit ai is

i don really know what i should look for to get that nothing style
