Then I discovered #Kvaesitso and wow! That's exactly what I was looking for I guess. Fast and frictionless just like KISS, but more customizable and with some really interesting concepts and features. Seriously I'm amazed by how good it is. https://kvaesitso.mm20.de/

@kaschmir #gadgetbridge ersetzt die proprietäre Herstellerapp deiner Smartwatch ... die üblicherweise ein klassischer Datenabsauger sensibler Daten ist. #breezyweather liefert dann die Wetterdaten für das Wetterwidget auf der Uhr. Lässt sich aber auch bei #Kvaesitso - einem alternativen Launcher - als Wetterprovider einbinden. @gadgetbridge

I installed a new minimalistic Launcher on my phone. Only 1 desktop.... How does your screen looks?

#Android dünyasında gizlilik, özgür yazılım ve performans odaklı arayüz arayanlar için harika bir inceleme! 🚀2026 yılının en iyi Android Başlatıcılarını (Launcher) incelerken rakipler gibi sadece Google Play linkleri vermedik; #Lawnchair14 ve #Kvaesitso gibi projelerin doğrudan GitHub ve F-Droid kaynaklarını da ekledik.S24 Ultra ve Nothing Phone üzerinde bizzat test edilen, pil dostu ve reklamsız 9 özel launcher listesi, hız karşılaştırma tablosuyla birlikte yayında. 💻📱https://teknohaberi.net/en-iyi-android-baslatici-2026/

Kvaesitso ist für mich einer der spannendsten Android-Launcher überhaupt.

Suchfokussiert, clean, schnell und einfach angenehm anders.
Kein Homescreen-Chaos, kein unnötiger Ballast.

Ein Launcher, der nicht versucht, alles zu sein,
sondern genau mit seinem eigenen Stil punktet.

Richtig starkes Projekt.

I accidentally made my phone extremely boring and I really like it.

Few days ago I finally dumped Nova Launcher (used to be great for the past ~8 years or so but recently underwent a massive enshittification) and looked for alternatives. I found Kvaesitso, a FOSS launcher with a "search-first" approach similar to Nova: instead of scrolling through lists of apps there's a universal search bar where you type the first few letters of an app, action, contact, chat, ... and hit enter - a bit like I do stuff with rofi (or dmenu in olden times) on Linux.

By default when you pull up (or down) the search bar in Kvaesitso it initially shows all installed apps until you start typing something to filter the list. There is however an option to reverse that and show nothing until you start typing.

At first I activated that option simply because I prefered the cleaner look, but it had an interesting effect: Before, when I unconsciously/automatic reached for my phone (which happened in literally any second I'm not actively doing something else), I scrolled through app icons until I found some random distraction to waste my time with.

Now when I pick up my phone I'm looking at a blank search bar and actually have to consciously think about what I want to do because I have to type that thing I want in, and most of the time I realize that I don't know what I want to do and that there was no reason to grab the phone, so put it back instead of just doing some random shit.

It's only been a few days but I already noticed that I reach for my phone much less often, and when I do I often pause before even unlocking it and put it right back, because I realize I just don't know what to do with it (unless I actually want to do something with it). Apparently the hurdle of having to actively think about what to waste my time with is too much for my brain and not worth the effort just for the questionable reward of a bit of mindless distraction.

Kvaesito has to be one of the prettiest launcher I've used yet, I don't usually post home screen pics but this just looks to nice not to post.

@n8zug Ich hab mich auf #kvaesitso eingelassen und #novalauncher inzwischen gelöscht. Bei Kvaesitso nutze ich keine Tags, aber händisch angeordnete Favoriten. Das funktioniert gut für mich, ich muss selten die Suche bemühen.

@mbeddedDev
Right. The #Kvaesitso open source launcher for Android can perform this too.

Now that #novalauncher is evil, I'll shamelessly promote my favorite #Android launcher: #Kvæsitso. I found that I've been mainly using the search function for all other launchers anyway and Kvæsitso is designed around just that. The ther two handy things it has are a thumb-friendly quick access list and a widget list. That's it. That's the launcher. It's perfect.

#NovaLauncher is adding more trackers to its latest version? After many years of paid usage, I'm switching launchers on #Android.

It might be a change for the better, as I'm giving #Kvaesitso a try. It's licensed under GPL-3.0-or-later and available on F-Droid.

Das neue Handy war der Anlass, endlich Alternativen zum #NovaLauncher auszuprobieren, bevor der Launcher den Bach runtergeht.

- Der #NiagaraLauncher ist ohne Kauf oder Abo nur ein stylischer App Drawer ohne weitere Funktion.

- Der #Kvaesitso Launcher könnte für mich funktionieren. Aber ohne sortierte Apps, in Ordnern oder hier Tags, ist er witzlos. Die Apps in Tags zu sortieren ist ungenügend und maßlos frustrierend. Eine nachträgliche Bearbeitung der Tag-Inhalte ist scheinbar auch nicht möglich. Somit für mich unbrauchbar, wenn ich praktisch jede App über die Suche starten muss.

- #Lawnchair habe ich erst gar nicht ausprobiert. Er ist Beta.

Ich bin kurz davor doch wieder den #NovaLauncher zu installieren. 🤷‍♂️

I started using Kvaesitso Launcher on my Android phone and I am never going back, especially not to Samsung's defaults.

So since #Google won't tell me why it considers the #Kvaesitso public transport plugin as "Harmful", as it blocks #fdroid from updating it, can anyone here shed some light on it?

Is there any harmful code in the plugin, or the upstream library that the plugin wraps around called "public-transport-helper"? I'd really like to know.

So I went to F-Droid and attempted to download the public transport plugin for Kvaesitso.

And I got a Google Play Protect popup message warning "harmful app detected".

It gave no further details about why this app is harmful.

Does anyone know if this app is harmful? If so how?

Or is this Google being a monopolist and blocking competing open source apps?

@Androidauth When I was looking for an #Android launcher, found that #novalauncher is not #opensource and not available in #F-Droid thus instead opted for #Kvaesitso launcher which is still under active development: github.com/MM2-0/Kvaesitso

Apparently that was the correct choice 👍

@2something
This is a really inspiring discovery! 😊
If you're looking for a flexible, open, and fully featured launcher, I highly recommend Kvaesitso.

🔹 Open Source (GPL / Apache 2.0)
🔹 Installable via F-Droid (with a full-featured repo available)
🔹 Search-focused – instantly find apps, contacts, or even web services like Wikipedia and Nextcloud
🔹 Supports backup and restore of home screen layout and settings
🔹 Modern UI built with Jetpack Compose, actively developed and maintained

I use it myself and truly appreciate that, despite the strong search focus, it's very intuitive to use – no fiddly gestures, just straightforward logic and fast access. Plus, it integrates well with privacy-friendly setups and can be customized as needed.

👉 If you enjoyed Discreet Launcher, Kvaesitso may offer even more power and flexibility for your workflow.
