Coming from Nova, this looks like a launcher bringing some of the same intuitive navigation and handling that make me consider switching.
Props on (nearly) side to side widget sizing.
private spaces support stands out
Swipe actions are nice to see too
Drawer style needs some getting used to, missing quickly accessible categories (tabs) but I might come to an arrangement with folders on top.
Home screen gestures feel limited with up and right but no down, double finger swipe or twist. Swipe right from first screen (=left most, could be communicated better I think) feels odd, especially in a configuration with screens on both sides of home it loses some of the quick access utility.
Swipe actions per screen apparently means physical one although I can’t confirm that with a traditional brick. I was hoping it would be per page to offset the point above.
Swipe actions on app icons on home, but not on folders seems odd to me. Missing folder behavior like tap to launch first, swipe (up|down) to (open|shortcut) Found it in settings but seems to be global instead of per folder?
App drawer search feels a bit clunky, button on the lower right is hard to reach, start search always shows and costs screen space. Swipe down to search while in the drawer was a nice touch in Nova I miss here.
Edit: having both show search and easy reach active seems really silly since the keyboard overlaps 80% immediately.
Widgets stacks are neat but not sure of a good use case yet since I mostly want my widget contents to be available at a glance. Autoscroll is cool but a bit busy. Might get back to that at some point tho.
