I've seen quite a few launchers on F-Droid, but I really fail to see what their advantages over the stock one are. I mean, what can be meaningfully different about arranging apps in a grid? But I guess the existence of so many options goes to show I just don't get the gist of it.

So what launchers actually provide some interesting features that make it worth switching to them?

I've been using Quick Search for a couple months now and it's amazing. Every other launcher feels useless without this. But it seems to be vibe coded so a head's up.

It has one search bar for everything. Appa, app shortcuts, browser bookmarks, searching online, contacts, files, etc. Lots of other useful features too.
