Nice concept. I can definitely see myself using this over other pixel launcher clones but I am too used to have my Google feed at swipe away and "at a glance widget" or some implementation of that is a must have for any launchers nowadays (imo). Maybe some sort of pixel bridge like implementation in the future? Anyway, great job!
[Android Apps and Games] norair1997:
Wow I love the design :D

But need some time to get used to it as a launcher :D

Greeat work - keep it up
[Android Apps and Games] Carnage_mafia:
Thanks for bringing z Launcher in a new avatar.
[Android Apps and Games] pramyhoga:
I am using Xiaomi Mi8.

How to see list of important message? I still cannot find it.

And notification dot not work also, even i have give permission to read notification. Right now i have notification for WhatsApp, mi fit and apps's but there are no sign of notification. Screenshots attached.

Anyway, it is unconventional design of launcher, two thumbs up!
[Android Apps and Games] pramyhoga:
This work on my Galaxy S8. Maybe only in miui it still have bug.
[Android Apps and Games] sankarshan:
That's a great wallpaper. Can you share it?

I'm sorry, have you tried restarting your phone?
[Android Apps and Games] Rawwr:
man i love this launcher, replaced my stock pixel launcher and sacrificing new dock style for it.

just one request, can you add an option to hide clock from the homescreen ? cuz its already there in status bar.
[Android Apps and Games] gingerboy92:
Pretty damn innovative AND intuitive! I love swiping to the right to activate the shortcuts. Why don't you add the option to swipe left to open up a widget for the app, just like those in Action Launcher! :P
[Android Apps and Games] serpent android:
Good and sppeey launcher. Google news feed integration and double tap to sleep.. Arebgreat features to add

I installed the alpha from GitHub and borked my system! Now it won't allow me to to install any version of Niagara.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] Livio78:
Hi, I ask the developer,

Would it be possible during these Christmas holidays to buy the lifetime subscription of NIAGARA LAUNCHER at a discounted price from 14.99 euros to 5.99 euros the same price as the annual subscription? Would it be a nice Christmas present for me and not just for me but also for many other users? I wait for your answer. I wish you Happy Holidays P.S. NOVA LAUNCHER PRIME also discounted its application
[Android Apps and Games] Livio78:
Hi I noticed that when a Whatsapp notification arrives on the home screen, I swipe the icon to the right to view the notification without opening the app, I read the Whatsapp notification but once I read the notification from the Home screen, on the mobile phone of the person who l 'sent the two Blue Flags of the successful reading of the whatsapp notification do not appear, but the two Blue Flags of the successful reading appear only if I read the notification within the app. I ask the developer if it is a BUG or is it a feature of the launcher? I await a response from the developer. Thanks in advance P.S. I hope I was as clear as possible
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
Sorry, we didn't have a discount offer this time. The last sale was on black friday.

That's just how WhatsApp's (and all other messenger's) notifications work - a message only counts as read if you view it within the app, and neither from the system notifications panel, nor Niagara Launcher, which mirrors the system notifications.
[Android Apps and Games] Livio78:
I just got updated Niagara Launcher from version 1.4.2 to version 1.5.2.
[Android Apps and Games] Livio78:
It would be possible to change colors and choose from a variety of colors for the pop-up folders. Thank you
[Android Apps and Games] nemesisexsp:
I'm liking this launcher, good job dev! I have one suggestion: for a left handed user like me it's a little hard to use the apps side scrolling. Please give us an option to change it to the left side.
[Android Apps and Games] lostrg:
Sliding on the left edge will allow you to browse the apps as well. ;)
[Android Apps and Games] nemesisexsp:
Thanks, didn't know that!

I have 1 request. Could you distiguish the alphabet's letter which have apss' notification inside it? It could be Bold text or add "*" mark
[Android Apps and Games] julmabzz:
I like the notifications on Favorites and has a very clean interface.

Looking forward for the development of this launcher.

2 days and counting using this app.

[MENTION=5222551]Maxr1998[/MENTION] I was wondering where to get those wallpapers you used in the screenshots of the app.

[Android Apps and Games] d3l1:
Great concept already running on 2 of our 3 devices for 2 days now.

Looking forward to widgets and Google integration.

Just curious, is there already a settings page implemented or is that planned?

How did you apply an icon pack without settings to choose from?
[Android Apps and Games] 8bitpit:
Thank for testing!

You can access settings by tapping on those three dots on the app lists bar on the top right
[Android Apps and Games] iamleeeeeeeeee:
Hi ive been using this launcher for a couple of days now. Its great but may i suggest a couple of improvements/customization?

1. Swiping left or right from favorites gives a set of new favorite tab. IMO this would be great instead of stacking your apps into it. It'll have that clean and organized look at the same time.

2. Custom widgets or customization on time and date

3. Gestures would be great

These are just my suggestions for improvement but I hope OP would consider some of it. Awesome launcher! Waiting for more improvements. ?
[Android Apps and Games] 8bitpit:
Hi,

I’m glad to tell you, that this is not a real bug. The running services sections is “buggy”. The gms.service does not run exclusively for that app, instead it shows only up under the app that has the highest priority. If you disable notification dots for my app and have them enabled on nova for example, the service will appear there (I tested that with other launchers as well). It’s the same service and it will run with or without Niagara Launcher. So, don’t worry, it’s just confusingly displayed! Please visit https://github.com/8bitPit/Niagara-Issues/issues/84 for more details.

---------- Post added at 07:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:03 PM ----------

Thank you!

Regarding your requests:

1. Swiping is already used for opening notifications / app shortcuts

2. Yeah, they will probably be implemented, will take some time though.

3. Swipe down for notifications is implemented by now. A swipe up gesture could be used for opening search, what do you think?

---------- Post added at 07:10 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

Could be too intrusive

---------- Post added at 07:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 PM ----------

Thank you for testing Niagara.

1. Yesterday, I implemented a Google search button. What do you think?

2. Someday, I will add them.

---------- Post added at 07:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:14 PM ----------

Thank you! Glad the community helped you out.
[Android Apps and Games] iamleeeeeeeeee:
I was hoping the swipe left or right from favorites would be great as it would give this clean, organized look. How 'bout trying to make tabs which you could rename? Idk how you would do that but it would be great. Also maybe a simple double tap to lock screen gesture would be great. ?
[Android Apps and Games] 8bitpit:
Thanks for the suggestion, great idea. At first, I'll implement weather information & legacy shortcuts, after that, widgets could be the next feature.
[Android Apps and Games] DroidFreak32:
Or let it be assigned to user like how nova gestures work. The user will be able to sign any app / activity for that particular gesture.
[Android Apps and Games] 21vm:
Great launcher, loving it ! Swipe gestures are nice to use, it's fesh and elegant.

One question : how can i add a new shortcut to the home after the first install ? i can't find a way to do it...
[Android Apps and Games] moviti:
In list view, long-press the icon that you want to add. popup window appear. You can choose "favorite" in it.
[Android Apps and Games] 21vm:
as simple as that... sorry for the dumb question... :o
[Android Apps and Games] kpirnie:
Works great... Now to figure out why my google app won't work right. Lol
[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
i think limiting location permissions to "coarse" should be sufficient for weather. my personal preference would have been an option to hide the included time/weather at the top of favorites and make that row available for a time/weather widget of my own choosing.
[Android Apps and Games] sadik_brika:
Can you add Pie app opening animations? would make it very fresh and smooth?
[Android Apps and Games] LTKred:
installed this launcher an hour ago and already loving it. I was a huge fan of the Nokia Z Launcher and this feels so much sleeker. Great work!
[Android Apps and Games] BowLow:
Day 5 of use, definitely my daily launcher. Two things I would like to see:

1. Ability to turn off the "Most used Apps" function. I love the simplicity of the launcher and quickly find/launch my apps. Love that you most used Apps are first in it's corresponding letter.

2. Maybe a widget page that you can swipe left or right to get to. Would be cool to have a widget page to add Google now or other "feed" apps.

Thank you for the launcher keep up the good work!
[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
you'd think somebody would make a sidepage app that holds widgets and is launchable via a gesture, but I've searched through the play store without success

EDIT: I found a work around, I'm using Popup Widget to show my preferred weather info (Chronus Forecast Widget using Open Weather Map as the data source). i use Everywhere Launcher Sidebar app already and set the trigger for Popup Widget to be a simple swipe on the Everything Launcher sidebar handle. works great.

[Android Apps and Games] ortolan:
Hey, great launcher, I've been using it for 3-4 days and have no intention to switch. Here are some of my suggestions:

+The google search button should open the google search bar directly but not the google now app.

+Add more search engines.

+Ability to hide the clock on the home screen.

+Widget support in home screen, so I can use my own calendar, weather widgets from KWGT.

+Add a gesture to open the app shortcuts. Right now, I can swipe to right on app to open the shortcut menu, it would be great if I can continue the gesture and swipe down to select the shortcut, without lifting the finger and touching on it again (hope you get what I said.

+++MOST IMPORTANT+++

+Please kindly add a donate button, so I can buy you a coffee, or cookies ;)
[Android Apps and Games] iamleeeeeeeeee:
Nice to see app gets update weekly. Good job OP! However I would like to change my app icon personally. Hope it'll be implemented soon! Keep it up OP!
[Android Apps and Games] BowLow:
If you don't mind can you share what icon pack you are using?
[Android Apps and Games] pramyhoga:
I feel sensitivity in favourite screen need to be raised. I sometimes fail to tap apps's icon, have to tap Twice. Beside that, this is a nice launcher.
[Android Apps and Games] iamleeeeeeeeee:
Guilt icon pack.

[Android Apps and Games] phreud:
Verry beautiful and minimal launcher, lightning usefull... Verry good job
[Android Apps and Games] antonio1475:
I've been using it for a few days in my Nexus 5 with Android Pie.

It is amazing and perfect. I've been looking for different and solid launchers for ages. Although Pie has a nice launcher, Niagara is spot on simplicity with ability to be really useful.

Swiping right for shortcuts and having the notifications preview right there is beautifully done.

Looking forward to see what else you can do in this!

THANK YOU

After the last night's update the weather is missing!

Nevermind its back now.
[Android Apps and Games] dSlice:

really loving this. just a few more options from the dev and it will probably be my daily driver
[Android Apps and Games] Engi79:
It is great launcher - i am using it every day from the start :)

+1 could be very useful to allow user to change current launcher date and weather into google widget "at a glance" or any other

hi, which icon pack do you use? :confused:

[Android Apps and Games] PhilDX:
this awesome little app can be configured to display a sidepage (accessible via screen gesture) that holds widgets. you have to fiddle with the settings to hide other stuff (apps, menu bar, etc), but it works very well once done. nicely compliments Niagara.

Hi [MENTION=5222551]Maxr1998[/MENTION],

What an amazing launcher, love the simplicity and speed (currently been using Nova Prime as main launcher). Two things (FR's) and it could become the new default for me:

1) Support for widgets on the homepage

2) Build-in 'At a glance' (ref. Google Pixel) like widget WITH multi-calendar support (missing from the Pixel widget)

How's the roadmap looking (great and frequent progress so far!)?

Keep up the great work.

[Android Apps and Games] speedy1013:
Loving this launcher. So smooth and quick to launch the app you're thinking of.

Two features that I'm hoping you'll add are the ability to change the font and also the ability to manually change the icon for each app.
[Android Apps and Games] allenkimmm:
Incredible launcher. My daily driver currently. Is there a way to edit the icon for individual apps??
[Android Apps and Games] Batryoperatedboy:
Man, I love the hell out of this. It has the same simple elegance as the older and more traditional Zeam Launcher (but thank goodness, modern!) Nothing else to say from me that hasn't already been said, keep it up!
[Android Apps and Games] Maxr1998:
That'll arrive sometime in the future, but atm, other features have priority.
[Android Apps and Games] VincentJoshuaET:
In MIUI, most third party launchers use the ancient holo icons in system apps. The only exceptions I saw are the Trebuchet Launcher port and Poco Launcher (I guess not really third party). Will it be possible for the launcher to use the themed icons? Thanks.

Note: I'm not using any icon pack in the Poco Launcher. That's the "Default", but they are not the icons inside the APK. But Trebuchet can use those icons, so I don't see why other launchers can't. Notice the Camera icons
[Android Apps and Games] 8bitpit:
Hey,

Those Launchers probably shipped their own icons, idk if I'll do that too. Please use icon packs for now.

Unfortunately that's not possible with Google's awareness API, I'm considering other weather providers but they are not cheap, openweather for example is only free for up to 60 calls / minute.

---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:13 PM ----------

Thanks for your requests, you can swipe the button up for quick search (it’s not the other way around, since the Google app takes longer and gestures feel terrible when you don’t get feedback instantly). Moreover, other search providers will maybe be supported at some point (https://github.com/8bitPit/Niagara-Issues/issues/142) & you will be able to hide the clock Soon™. Widgets are planned: https://github.com/8bitPit/Niagara-Issues/issues/117. Opening shortcuts like you described sounds cool, I’ll try that out! Also, thanks for considering donating ;) Currently I only have a PayPal for that: https://www.paypal.me/niagaralauncher
[Android Apps and Games] tjsuominen:
Thx for the reply [MENTION=9435783]8bitpit[/MENTION] :)

For the roadmap (in Github), it would be nice to see a list called "Next release" before "Done" :) Moved to "Done" (or released) when APK pushed to Store - Just a personal opinion. Very nice to follow your progress, wish more app devs could offer such a transparency (yet I understand why they do not want to ;).

Keep up the great work!

Absolutely loving this app!

One of the coolest developers I've ever been in contact with!

This launcher is minimal and exactly what I've been looking for!

Looks fabulous on my S9 Plus!
[Android Apps and Games] Quirah:
How can you customize screen with widgets? I loved this launcher but I absolutely need more customization features like widgets, folders or using different icon packs on different apps.
[Android Apps and Games] room511:
No widget or folder support yet.

Remember, this is a minimal style launcher. Bloating it up to be exactly like all the others would be a horrible idea.

As far as icons go. Many icon packs theme many apps. If you love an icon pack you might want to contact that devaloper and have him update his packs.

Your alternative is using Icon Studio (which is what I use) or Adapticons.
[Android Apps and Games] Quirah:
Oh I thought that music player thing is widget but it actually exists in original launcher.
