This Niagara-inspired launcher could (eventually) be better than the original

Niagara Launcher is undoubtedly one of the best Android home screens you can run on a modern Android phone. It’s nippy, loaded with features, and rewards both minimalists and maximalists with its thoughtful feature set. Through its obvious and lesser-known features, I’ve used it to build a brilliant productivity setup that piloted my phone for years.

There’s not too much criticism I could level against Niagara, but one thing does stand out. I regularly see posts online from users lamenting the pricing of its Pro version. I was lucky enough to board the Niagara boat early, and snagged it on the cheap during its beta phase. Now that it’s a mainstream launcher, you’ll either have to run the limited free version, fork out a monthly subscription for Pro, or pay for a lifetime unlock that’s large enough to be a budget item.
