Action Launcher
Action Launcher is another long-standing favorite because it feels like part of the existing Android interface as soon as you start using it. Action Launcher even positions itself as a better Pixel launcher.
Action Launcher has a ton of great features: support for gestures, icon packs, Google news feed integration, and support for both phones and tablets. It offers a take on some of Android 12’s new interface features, including adaptive icon support and Quicktheme, which emulates Material You’s color-theming. Action Launcher even has the stacked widgets you get in iOS, which Android does not have natively. (They’re a little finicky to use at first, I will admit.)
Action Launcher is free to use. But if you want that Quicktheme capability, you’ll need to fork over $7 for Action Launcher Plus. The one-time fee will also remove advertising, and most importantly, support the developer.
