Tip: Indistrictable launcher.

I have tried a lot of launchers because I didn't like that everyone copied what Apple did... which I find not great. What's the point of choosing manually in which random screen and which random folder the app should be? That's arbitrary and not necessary. If you don't believe me, try finding a random app on someone else's smartphone.

My favorite launcher?

I've used multiple "minimalist" launchers, and while they look great, all of them have a limit on the amount of apps you can have on the homescreen.

Currently I'm also using Indistractable... But again I can only have like 5 things at max... The other I have to swipe right and scroll or search for.

Exactly. And I didn't like it at first but I have found with time that this is actually a good constraint.
