I am using the launcher for 2 days in redmi note 5 pro and I love it. Very smooth and fast for a new app. I was looking for a minimal launcher without success until Niagara was released!
[APP][5.0+] Niagara Launcher – fresh & clean
- Thread starter 8bitpit
- Start date
Verry beautiful and minimal launcher, lightning usefull... Verry good job
I've been using it for a few days in my Nexus 5 with Android Pie.
It is amazing and perfect. I've been looking for different and solid launchers for ages. Although Pie has a nice launcher, Niagara is spot on simplicity with ability to be really useful.
Swiping right for shortcuts and having the notifications preview right there is beautifully done.
Looking forward to see what else you can do in this!
THANK YOU

Just had to stop in and say thanks for the launcher! I've been using it since XDA put it in the News Feed. I love all the little add-ons you've been adding, and that it's very minimal. Keep up the awesome work!!
too good
really loving this. just a few more options from the dev and it will probably be my daily driver

It is great launcher - i am using it every day from the start 
+1 could be very useful to allow user to change current launcher date and weather into google widget "at a glance" or any other

I guess the Linebit is a good all rounder icons!
this awesome little app can be configured to display a sidepage (accessible via screen gesture) that holds widgets. you have to fiddle with the settings to hide other stuff (apps, menu bar, etc), but it works very well once done. nicely compliments Niagara.

Hi @Maxr1998,
What an amazing launcher, love the simplicity and speed (currently been using Nova Prime as main launcher). Two things (FR's) and it could become the new default for me:
1) Support for widgets on the homepage
2) Build-in 'At a glance' (ref. Google Pixel) like widget WITH multi-calendar support (missing from the Pixel widget)
How's the roadmap looking (great and frequent progress so far!)?
Keep up the great work.

Go to settings<favorite screen<weather
I'm trying the launcher right now and i like the idea. Great work. What do you think to implement a new section (or an option for the favorite section) where to show the most used apps?
Tnx.
Tnx.
It's already there (bottom part of Favourites). It just takes a few days or a lot of use to start showing apps

Hey everyone, this is Niagara Launcher, a clean, smooth and fast launcher.
Key features:
- List based for easy access and a minimal look
- You can open Apps in a quick way due to the always accessible scrollbar
- Enhanced notification “dots”: Read summaries right on your homescreen and swipe right to open them for every detail.
- App shortcuts (Introduced in Android 7.1 – some of them are backwards compatible)
- Media Player integration (notification access needed)
- Hide Apps to remove bloatware/preinstalled apps
- Icon Pack support
Some features, like widgets & folders, are still missing, because Niagara was only just released (to open beta) a few days ago. I’m trying my best to implement many more requests. If you want to look at them or file a bug report, go to Niagara Issues on GitHub (see the link below)

Hi,
I’m glad to tell you, that this is not a real bug. The running services sections is “buggy”. The gms.service does not run exclusively for that app, instead it shows only up under the app that has the highest priority. If you disable notification dots for my app and have them enabled on nova for example, the service will appear there (I tested that with other launchers as well). It’s the same service and it will run with or without Niagara Launcher. So, don’t worry, it’s just confusingly displayed! Please visit https://github.com/8bitPit/Niagara-Issues/issues/84 for more details.

Thank you!
Regarding your requests:
1. Swiping is already used for opening notifications / app shortcuts
2. Yeah, they will probably be implemented, will take some time though.
3. Swipe down for notifications is implemented by now. A swipe up gesture could be used for opening search, what do you think?

Could be too intrusive

Thank you for testing Niagara.
1. Yesterday, I implemented a Google search button. What do you think?
2. Someday, I will add them.

Thank you! Glad the community helped you out.5
Thank you, I'll try my best to keep the launcher still minimal when I am adding new features. Widgets and folders are planned and maybe I'll add an option to hide shortcuts. Furthermore, pressing home to go back to the app list is not a bug, there will be an option toggle in the future though (https://github.com/8bitPit/Niagara-Issues/issues/21)
