Cool idea, nice to use. Idk if its faster than using a "normal" launcher. But i do think it eliminates the "swiping back and forth between pages because ydkwtd". Sometimes its hard to think of the app name, especially if yiu gace it a long name; so I think its a good idea to give your frequently used apps a shorthand name. Otoh the search function is a little slow, so when I press enter on the keyboard, it doesnt Always activate the irem corresponding to my search, but ratgwr to an intermediate.

Best launcher I've ever used and ive used all the major ones (and many others too). Too many are focused on all these useless gimmick features. All I wanted was a nice clean, empty, screen. This launcher achieves that perfectly. Been using for almost a year now with no issues. I would like to see some additional gesture support but other than that I have no suggestions. It's perfect and exactly what I've been looking for. Oh and it's FOSS. I'd give this 6 stars if I could.

REPLY- Thank you for responding! I am aware of the tags option, personally I find visual folders easier to work with (in the app drawer). Grids are better than lists IMO. But, that's not a big issue for me. I did realize one other thing missing, and this is more important, that is quick actions app shortcuts. Hope to see those in the future. FIRST- It seems very promising. I REALLY appreciate the lack of network permissions and the non-invasive requests overall. I adore the overall look and feel + the straight to search on pressing the home key. However, I am waiting for more widget and general customization options (font & icon size, number of icons on favorites bar, folders in app drawer, etc.) I understand your focus on simplicity, but there's 2 kinds of simple, and one does not necessarily equate with easy. Anyway, I am excited to see and enjoy more good work from you dev Neamar. Thanks for sharing your project!

More icons on the favorites bar are coming soon! For folders, see http://help.kisslauncher.com/tags/use-tag-bar/. Finally some more work is underway for widgets, but we miss manpower here and could use some help!
