Since a few folks seem unaware of this, I’m posting anew for visibility.

    I switched to Lawnchair 2. It’s free, open source and quite versatile. Probably not as much as Nova, though it’s been a few years since I last used it.

      It is significantly less than Nova. People keep suggesting it but it’s not a true replacement for those that were actually using Nova to its full potential. They’re frankly isn’t a replacement right now that goes all out on providing users customization options. That’s not in vogue anymore, apparently.

      Lawnchair 2 isn’t available for my phone since the app is too old, and I’m only on Android 12.

      Edit: this only applies to the Play Store version

          Very strange. I get a big notification and everything.

      Lawnchair 2 is no longer under development. The development team always starts to develop a new launcher based on the latest stock launcher every time a new Android version is released (so basically every year). This way the app usually never gets past the alpha or beta builds till they already move on to start from scratch. I don’t understand their strategy.
