This is what I use - https://github.com/tanujnotes/Olauncher , and it's amazing!
The git README is pretty minimal. Can you summarise what it is that you like so much about this?
Earlier quoted context omitted.

The launcher itself is also very clean and minimal, with a text-only UI. You can pin up to 8 apps to the home screen and the rest are accessible through search. You trigger search with a swipe, and when only a single matching app remains for your query, it automatically opens it, making it pretty efficient. E.g., if you don't have Firefox pinned, you can swipe and type "fir" (or any other unique substring) and it wil…
Still looking for launcher with swiping up/down on icons to launch apps, which I've only seen in (recently sold) Nova Launcher.

Why does android seemingly require a million launchers?
It doesn't "require" a launcher at all; but the people have the freedom to change theirs. Kinda like MacOS users only have Aqua, whereas Linux has a lot of DEs, the choice of which is entirely handed to the user.
You could use the AOSP launcher, or whatever your phone maker installs instead. I don't, because phone makers seem to really want to push an unremovable search bar that I don't want. And swipe left to see a totally confusing screen I also don't want.

[dev here] The Internet access is required only for the daily wallpapers and nothing else. The messages pop up based on date. Many users seem to like it but if I hear any more complaints, I'll consider removing them.
Man there are about 50 Android launchers on F-Droid: https://search.f-droid.org/?q=launcher Feels like picking a distro when going to Linux. Notable changes compared to it's base Finn's Launcher: https://github.com/jrpie/launcher/blob/0.1.0/docs/launcher.m... (link is broken in readme on master branch) Compatible with work profile, so apps like Shelter can be used. Compatible with private space ... The name of this o…
The character "μ" itself is called μι or μυ (both pronounced "me"), and is the exact equivalent of Latin "m". For some reason, English speaking countries tend to pronounce it "mew" (they also pronounce "π" as "pie"). But English speaking countries mispronounce so many words it's par for the course anyway. Pet peeve: I really hate when they replace "μ" with "u". Completely different letters. Of course replacing capita…
The solution is just to stick to the Latin alphabet, but you can't deny that mixing in a little Greek every now and then is fun.
