The traditional home screen we know was made more than a decade ago when phone screens were smaller than your credit card. Smartphones keep growing, but not your fingers. The minimalist Niagara Launcher makes everything accessible with one hand and lets you focus on what matters.

▌ Top reasons to use Niagara Launcher:
✋ Ergonomic efficiency · Access everything with one hand - no matter how big your phone is.
🌊 Adaptive list · In contrast to a rigid grid layout used by other Android launchers, Niagara Launcher's list can adapt to your needs. The media player, incoming messages, or calendar events: everything pops in when it needs to.
🏄♀ Wave alphabet · Efficiently reach every app without even having to open an app drawer. The launcher's wave animation does not only feel satisfying but also helps you navigate your phone with just one hand.
💬 Embedded notifications · Not just notification dots: Read and respond to notifications right from your home screen.
🎯 Stay focused · The streamlined and minimalist design declutters your home screen, reduces distractions, and is super easy to use.
⛔ Ad-free · Having to endure advertisements on a minimalist launcher designed to keep you focused does not make sense. Even the free version is also completely ad-free.
⚡ Lightweight & lightning fast · Being minimalist and fluid are two of the most important aspects of Niagara Launcher. The home screen app runs smoothly on all phones. With just a few megabytes in size, no space is wasted.
✨ Material You Theming · Niagara Launcher adopted Material You, Android's new expressive design system, to make your home screen truly yours. Set an awesome wallpaper, and Niagara Launcher instantly themes around it. We went one step further by bringing Material You to everyone by backporting it to all Android versions.
🦄 Personalize your home screen · Impress your friends with Niagara Launcher's clean look and customize it to your needs. Personalize it with our integrated icon pack, fonts, and wallpapers, or use your own.
🏃 Active development & great community · Niagara Launcher is in active development and has a very supportive community. If you ever have a problem or want to voice your opinions about the launcher, please join us:
📴 Why we offer an accessibility service · Our accessibility service has the sole purpose of letting you quickly turn off your phone's screen with a gesture. The service is optional, disabled by default, and neither collects nor shares any data.

Enjoying this Launcher a lot. So far just using the free version and it's good enough to make me curious about checking out the full, paid version. It's very simple and clean and I appreciate how it organizes the Home Screen. It also eliminates the app drawer and is very clever and efficient with how it replaces it. Maybe even a little fun. Very nice, unintrusive app.

Update: They're very quick to respond. The night I emailed them for help they responded within 24 hours. I've updated my review to match how well this app fits my needs. It's literally perfect. The issue is the fact it lags way too often. My recently downloaded apps won't show and I have to restart the phone and turn off/on the launcher after. It's gets stuck on the favorites screen and won't move and won't respond unless I swipe down from the top of my phone.

Exceptional. You, yesss. You reading this if you are into minimalism & if the images are anything to by. Then the peoples voices are to & the overall thought about this is it's great for what it is. And as I said it's a sleek, lightweight launcher with a few very interesting features & it does what other launchers have done & to this degree. I'd say this is the best or one of the best MINIMALISTIC launchers on the playstore! For free atleast.
