Looking for any non-launcher 2D android app that can run on the quest and acts like a launcher

I know that there are many android launchers that integrate with the home-screen and that can be set as "default launchers" for android.
I've had no success launching them from oculus quest after I installed their .APKs via sidequest.
My conclusion is that every app that is a launcher can not be launched in oculus quest.
What I am looking for is an app that acts like a launcher, meaning they fulfill the following 2 features:
but that app must not be a launcher.
I have a few bad examples, for example es explorer and kodi - they both are 2D and have oculus-quest-installable-apks and are runnable, and they can launch other apps from their own interfaces, but they are an overkill for my purpose.
I am looking for something light-weight, that acts like go-launcher, but in fact can not be set as a regular android's home screen's default launcher because in fact it does not qualify for android as a launcher, but just yet another 2D app.
Is there such a thing? if not what are closest 2D alternatives that can launch and list other apps that you could list?
Edit:
I've given it more thought, such a solution would be great but still not good enough
as spending a lot of time searching for the 2d launcher in the huge list of installed apps still kind of defeats the purpose.
As a complete solution I need an app manager that has a web interface as well, that way I could quickly connect to it using the browser!

What I am looking for is an app that acts like a launcher, meaning they fulfill the following 2 features:
- shows a list of 100% of installed apps on the device
- allows creating virtual "folders" (visible only from the app) for customizing apps sorting (drag and drop from previous (*) )
but that app must not be a launcher.
