I've been using the super minimalistic 0launcher (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.olauncher&hl=en-US https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=app.olauncher&...) for about a year now. Besides being a good, very simple, minimalistic launcher, it's also Open Source (https://github.com/tanujnotes/Olauncher https://github.com/tanujnotes/Olauncher), ad-free, and collects and shares no data.

> collects and shares no data If the developer is building the code that's on GitHub, it is curious why AppGoblin flags the Play Store version for using Firebase: https://appgoblin.info/apps/app.olauncher/data-flows https://appgoblin.info/apps/app.olauncher/data-flows

  [Olauncher dev here] There's no Firebase integration in the Olauncher and never was. It literally collects no data. The releases on the Play Store, F-Droid and Github releases [APK] are all built from the same codebase, which is available on Github. Not sure why it's flagged.

    Hey, man! Thanks for the awesome launcher. It's made my phone so much more useful to me. It finally feels like the tool it is. Is there any way to support the development — financially or otherwise?

      Thank you! You can get the pro version or by me a coffee. Pro Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=7198807840081074933 https://play.google.com/store/apps/dev?id=719880784008107493... BMAC: https://buymeacoffee.com/tanujnotes https://buymeacoffee.com/tanujnotes

I use the better fork: Olauncher CF. Simple and Clutter-Free Android launcher, https://github.com/OlauncherCF/OlauncherCF https://github.com/OlauncherCF/OlauncherCF

  That looks neat. I don't remember ever seeing any ads in the original though, so I'm a bit confused about what they removed. Regardless, having the choice is always good.

    It has some extra features added, plus unnecessary ones removed, but I won’t recall the difference, since I use the fork for years (four or five, if I’m correct). I’m just pointing out this fork is worth anyone’s attention, it’s easy to compare by installing the two.

      I appreciate it. But it sounds kinda weird to say "better fork" when you aren't sure of the actual differences and tell people to go figure it out for themselves. Could also be that 0launcher has changed over the past four or five years.
