Lawnchair is an open source Android launcher. They just released v15 beta-2, and the other updates are in the linked post
From their description:
Lawnchair is a supercharged version of the Pixel Launcher you know and love. Being an open-source project, you get all the latest Pixel Launcher features shipped by Google in their latest Android release, plus added customizability. The best part? No root required!

I don’t mean to be mean but isn’t the lawnchair team basically making a new launcher nearly from scratch (they of base it on the AOSP launcher AFAIK) with every Android release and then leave it in sort of unfinished state, because they started from scratch with the new AOSP launcher iteration yet again instead of finishing the previous project?
I am probably wrong but I feel like their launcher is constantly in alpha or beta stage.
Yeah, it was in alpha for two years following the departure of the lead developer. Version 15 is currently in beta. The next version based on AOSP 16, is in alpha state.
Still standing as one of the best launchers available!
If only they could implement what’s holding me back to Nova :
- launch an app when swipping up on an app or folder on homescreen
- choose how folder are showed : a 2x2 grid is used but stacked option in Nova make home feels a lot less cluttered
But really first one is holding me back.
