I love this launcher. I've been using it for a week and it's everything it claims to be. it's simple, minimalist, clean, just customizable enough and so far totally stable. I paired it with grayscale on my phone and disabled YouTube and my phone is a phone again instead of a constant soul sucking distraction.

Clean UI and good dev team.

Still the Best of The Best of The Best at managing a minimal existence. Brilliant notifications handling paired with nonexistent battery drain makes this my everyday carry launcher. Simply the best.
