Switch to the open source Neo Launcher!
-
That has not been updated since 2022 tho. Is Neo launcher dead?
-
Their Github page looks like there's active development, but yeah no actual releases for a long time
-
Till now we have no alpha release of 1.0.0, but this would come in the next weeks.
Finger crossed!
-
Ooh where are you seeing that?
-
-
No mentions of an alpha for nearly a year, all the recent comments are people lamenting its apparent abandonment!
-
Well, first of all, let me say that people lamenting over an open source project is very sad. The comment I've linked is from a Neo Launcher contributor and, as you can see, there's been continuous work on the project.
-
Yeah I know, that was my original point. I think it's fine to be sad that an open source project is stagnating, especially if you're a keen user but don't have the knowledge to change the codebase yourself. Thankfully I didn't see anyone being rude or demanding, that's the real bad sign.

Oh, sorry, I didn't realize that you were the same that wrote that message.
