KISS Launcher Reviews and details

Social recommendations and mentions

• Niagara Launcher

  This a good place to plug my favorite launcher? Search-based launchers in general are something I just cannot live without nowadays, there's way less friction there with openint apps and such. Kvæsitso is the one I use currently: https://kvaesitso.mm20.de/. The design is really good, and the widget support is nice. Search is not as perfect ass the classic KISS, though: http://kisslauncher.com/. - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

• What launcher do you use?

  I use KISS because it's minimalistic and clean. Probably not for everyone but I don't really use my phone that much so I don't need any fancy stuff. Just a list of apps I recently used and pinned favorites. Only thing I miss is the ability to show web browser shortcuts or whatever its official name is. Source: about 3 years ago
