CClauncher vs Kvaesitso
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
CClauncher
CCLauncher is a minimalist Android launcher designed to help reduce screen time and distractions due to all the apps present (like social media apps for example). Unlike traditional launchers, apps are hidden by default. Key Features: - Apps invisible by default (type to search) - Digital wellbeing tools (screen time tracking) - Double-tap to lock screen - Customizable gestures (swipe left/right/up/down shortcuts) - App renaming/hiding capabilities - Plain black/white wallpapers for focus - No ads, no tracking, no internet permission - 100% private Usage Tips: 1. Swipe up to search apps 2. Long press empty space for settings 3. Enable double-tap lock in Accessibility settings 4. Rename duplicate-named apps for easier launching This is a modern rewrite of Clauncher using Kotlin and Jetpack Compose, maintaining most of the minimalism while improving functionality (and maybe performance...)
Kvaesitso
Kvaesitso is a launcher application for Android which replaces the device's default home screen. It has been built from scratch, meaning it is not based on the AOSP launcher (like many other third party launchers) nor does it try to recreate this launcher. Instead, Kvæsitso follows its own concepts.The main feature is a global search which does not only let you search on device for apps, contacts, and calendar events, but also on web services like Wikipedia or your Nextcloud Instance. Additionally it includes some useful tools, for example a calculator and a unit converter. You are looking for a document or an information? Just search for it and Kvæsitso shows you the fastest way to it.
