Let us know your own choice for the best Android setup in 2024 down below, and I'm hoping to round up the ones I like the most soon!
Niagara is still one of my absolute favourite launchers thanks to its minimal but genius layout. You get fast access to the most important apps, with the others buried away in a cascading menu.
However, I've also got a lot of love for AP15, which does away with icons and replaces them with straight text. This helps to limit distractions, with surprisingly deep customisation, making it one of the best productivity-focused launchers in 2024. It's similar to Minimalist, which costs a hefty chunk these days, but absolutely free!
For the top new minimal launchers in 2024, Yasan is a solid choice. This AI-led effort slaps just nine icons on your Android phone's desktop, based on the time of day and your browsing habits. And I'm also still a fan of the slick and simple KISS launcher.
Those are my picks for the top free and premium minimalist setups, let me know how wrong I am below!

Niagara is still my favorite!

Thank you uncle spurt. I installed Niagara after seeing this video, yesterday. Loved it.
-
ever since i found out about niagara i've been blessed, such an amazing launcher Simple and clean been using it for a 5 months so far
-
Thanks. I just switched to android (Samsung flip 5) from iOS for the last 15 years. Love it! Personalization was one of my top 3 reasons to switch. Cheers.
-
I use NOVA LAUNCHER since I dont remember.. And for me is the best for all my needs..
-
I used Niagara based on your recommendation since last year oe two. Still using it now 👍🏻
-
Tried a heap of launchers, including the one's mentioned here and always come back to Nova. It can be made as minimalist or as heavy as you like - add in KWLP and it is perfect.
-
Been enjoying Niagara on my S24U. Keeps in clean and simple.
-
Might have to give Niagara a try, I've been using Nova for ages. Also, hell yeah, Cure by Erra is such a good record. Sick seeing it make an appearance.
-
I guess it's a bit of the oppostie of a minimalist launcher, but I'm really enjoying the AIO Launcher. It gives similar vibes to a minimalist in the sense that ytou only see the most useful apps, but packed with features.Hope to see you make another review of it!

Do more launcher videos!
-
my first launcher was nova launcher on my android version 4.4 KitKat, really it changes the whole look of my home screen setup this launcher was ahead of its time. now i use niagara launcher as i am minimal user.
-
Been using Before launcher for over a year now. Glad to have different options, though it's worked really nicely for me and I like the UI/look
-
... though I would probably never get one, I really dig your launcher videos ...
-
nice videos, big fan of your videos from Nigeria
-
I'm still rocking Total launcher, I love to fully customize my homescreen and because I still use the old and deleted multipicture live wallpaper app it works great with the launcher I can make the widget hidden on the swipe gesture, so it can be empty to show the wallpaper
-
I switched from Nova Prime to Lawnchair 14 beta and am loving it! ❤
-
Good taste in music!
-
As for normal launchers, Nova Launcher (and its Prime version) as well as Lawnchair (like Nova, but open source and some features missing, I think) are good as well.
-
I use to use Nova launcher since my pixel 2 XL. I changed over to Niagara since S22 ultra and haven't looked back. Paid for life time and it was totally worth it. Such a great minimal launcher that just works.
