Would really love a launcher that can format icon shapes so that they’re all uniform in shape, like Nova Launcher …but open source.

    Looks like the stable channel hasn’t received an update in years, and the alpha channel hasn’t received an update in over a year. Is this launcher abandoned?

        Some stuff like gesture support may depend on the android version, so that might break over time.
