Octopi launcher so far looks to be the closest to what can replace Nova for me, but an absolute deal breaker for me is the inability to separate business-apps within the app-drawer to a separate page.
It’s possible with tags, but requires an extra step to hide. I ended up having all the same tabs as I did with Nova.
You tag those apps “Business”. It creates a separate tab, but those apps now show up in both tabs.
Long press on the “Business” tag tab and uncheck “Show apps in all apps list”
Functionally ends up just like Nova tabs, altho I miss being able to color code and infinite scroll thru them.
Octopi is great but I’ve definitely found settings hidden all over the place. The dev is fond of hiding them inside long presses of various things… XD
New feature I didn’t know I needed is Stacked Widgets. So instead of multiple home pages I can just make one and flip thru my widgets like a book. Handy for me to hide more sensitive stuff like bank widgets behind a weather widget.
For anyone looking for more customization, Octopi Launcher has been the closest replacement for me. I’ve tried Lawnchair, Niagara, et al.
Yep, 100%
