After getting a replacement phone, I had to redo everything. I decided to check out some new options. I have nova prime and have loved it.
I am now using Niagara Launcher. It's different. Very different. The team recommends using the app for at least a week to give it a true test run. I did have my doubts because it's so different but dang do I love it. I haven't switched back and I don't mean this to throw shade on nova. Nova is great, but I like this better.
Instead of thinking of ways to change the launcher, they created a whole new launcher as if they didn't take into consideration the current way we do things.
Give it a shot.

Is that the one with a sub? It better give daily dopamine for yet another sub.
It's a one-time purchase.
edit: It's a one-time purchase for the "pro" version. I've been using the free version for a while and really enjoying it. I've been thinking of upgrading more to support the developers than for the added features.
It's a choice of subscription or one time purchase
My bad then! I just saw options for a trial and a one-time purchase, didn't realize there was a subscription.
Honestly glad to see the option. I'll take a one-time purchase any day.
