This is the launcher I was looking for. Something without all the bells and whistles the others have. However I just wish the Lean Settings window would reflect dark mode like everything else. One other option that'd be nice is the ability to hide the notification bar on the home screen. Everything else seems great so far.

From trying this out seems to work great. Lots of nice customization options. One thing I couldn't find is how to set one page as default, such that pressing home button again would snap to it. Another issue that seems to affect all 3rd party launchers on galaxy A50 is that widgets have a larger font size than on the default launcher which makes them hard to read.

Very good lightweight and basic launcher which is based off of the stock Google launcher. It's a good launcher for low end phones with little RAM and storage. It works just the same as a stock Google launcher. I appreciate that it doesn't have data collection unlike most launchers, and it only uses 7MB. My only complaint is that you can't disable the Google search bar, please include an option to turn that off!
