Well, that sucks. When the sale was announced, I tried several launchers, free and paid, and none of them were as good as Nova :/ Guess I’ll do another round.
Please update here if you find any good alternative? I'm stuck in the same place

Lawnchair has been good enough for me, get a recent development build, they don't release very often.

#46I initially thought that switching to a lighter launcher like Nova would make my phone-apps launching faster. However, I soon realized that what I actually needed was something to boost my productivity, so I switched to a launcher with fewer distractions, like Yantra Launcher (terminal-based), which I've been using ever since.

Any recommendations for launchers that are functionally similar? The launchers mentioned in this thread so far are quite different.
