#Android #FOSS launcher:

I just have to recommend #μLauncher to EVERYONE! My whole smartphone experience is a million times better when using it!

When using this launcher, there are basically no more icons on the homescreen. Widgets are allowed. Apps are now launched through gestures or through a search that automatically launches an app when it becomes the sole search result.

For me personally this is a gamechanger since I actually just open the app that I want to check in that moment. Often I think "let me check xy" then I take my phone, get distracted, open z instead of xy to see "what's up" lol. This way there is no distraction.

I would also say that it slightly enhances #privacy against shoulder-surfing, not giving away info about installed apps when the homescreen is open.

Thanks to @nprofile1q... for the recommendation through his newsletter!
