Octopi Launcher is damn near a replacement. Learn nothing new, muscle memory for swiping up or down on dock icons to open other apps.

Those were my requirements and it nails it.

Its a shame its not FOSS. Just checked it for trackers, and according to this site, there are none.

Never heard of it but this thing looks fully featured and very polished. I'm surprised I haven't heard of it before since I've gone looking for decent launchers!

That was why I settled on Octopi

Switched to Octopi as well and had to configure it a little to get it setup but now I almost forget that I even switched

The one feature I use most of all on Nova is swipe down on the screen to search. I has that all the time and would be tough to give up. I also really like the ability to swipe up on a folder and have it launch the first app in the folder.

I'll give Octopi a try on an older phone and hopefully it has some of these same features.
