A launcher is the thing that displays your home screen and app list. Where you can dock and undock apps, widgets, ect. Also known as a “home app”. The default android one is Quickstep, but it’s dogshit and not customisable.
A 3rd party launcher lets you tweak size, appearance, shape and colour of app symbols, home screens, and widgets.
Nova launcher was the GOAT of launchers until some corpo bought it and shoveled spyware and ads into it.
No hate against the original developer, he did a good job and honestly I would have sold my project too if it bought me financial security and freedom from the tyranny of the daily grind. Besides, by that time there were already other good 3rd party launchers out there

What was the free experience like prior to this? I paid for it ages back and haven’t really thought about it. I can’t remember what I even gained from doing that.
