    Dang. I still haven’t found a replacement that has features I use like pulling up on an icon giving different actions, the separate “work” tab in the app list for my pornwork profile apps, assigning apps to categories such as ‘games’, etc.

    I’d love suggestions if anyone is using someone feature full that they like

      Check out Octopi Launcher. It’s in early development but it’s been usable for awhile now. I like it so much I contributed to the developer.

      I’ve been quite pleased with Neo Launcher

      A build hasn’t been released on GitHub for awhile, but there is an active branch and a more recent build on the telegram/matrix chat. The 0.9.3 version has worked well enough for me.

      I haven’t used the features but in the Drawer section of the settings, there is “Categorise Apps” and “Second tab for Work apps”.

      I do wish that Nova was open source, that’s basically the only reason I switched.
