Nova Launcher could soon introduce Nova AI, a built-in AI assistant complete with a chatbot, and a new Nova Plus subscription tier

Somebody please give me a lightweight alternative.
Had the pro version for years. I dont want niagra or lawnchair. The pixel launcher sucks.
Try Octopi Launcher. The menus are different, but you can customize I’d say 85-90% identical to anything you could do in Nova. I duplicated my entire setup and it feels 90% the same.
KISS launcher. It’s the lightest weight option I know of. It also is the only one with a half decent dock. For some fucking reason every modern launcher has decided docks suck.
I have been enjoying octopi launcher. Has pretty much the same as nova for settings and shortcuts.
It’s made some pretty significant additions lately that makes it a viable replacement for Nova.
Oh wow. Octopi has free placement of widgets and icons. I’m sold.
Go foss to avoid further enshittification.

Smart launcher will let you import your nova backup and transition seamlessly. That’s my recommendation.
I hate this suggestion but it is the only one I’ve been able to stomach as something that operates like Nova: Microsoft Launcher
Its actually quite decent and mostly seems to be a forgotten piece of software so it hasn’t been enshitified.
i used it for a long time, then moved to nova
I did come across it and it looked good but I cant instlall it. Its bad enough google are on my phone.
I did install Niagra and it seems better than before.
