Hopefully, this isn’t the end of an era for Android launchers

They have a paid version of the Nova launcher. I am certainly not a lawyer, but it also looks like they have a pretty clear privacy policy https://novalauncher.com/privacy/

I don’t currently use it, but it is a nice alternative if they aren’t doing anything fishy.
